Printing In order for a plastic card to have the necessary functionality, it should have a permanently printed image on it, which helps to identify its purpose, specific usage characteristics, card issuer and others. The blank (white) plastics hamper the efficient use of a card. To select how to print an image on a card, one should know what its main purpose will be – bank or club card, access control to rooms or computer programs, electronic signature, health card, bonuses or discounts, telephone services and a lot of other applications. Personalization Very often the plastic cards have to be strictly identified via a number, name of the card owner and others. Therefore it is important to know the possibilities for personalization when designing cards. Mailing The large amounts of personalized plastic cards require easy, fast and reliable way of addressing and sending by post an individual letter and personalized card (or several cards) to every recipient.

Information Logistics The information logistics is a service, that includes information about the life cycle of each card from the moment of the physical creation of the plastic, through the print, electronic and/or visual personalization, information about the writing and personalized data, mailing and placement of an individual number on each parcel, to data about the shipment of the parcel and information about their receipt by the end user. Card design The design of plastic cards includes all graphic elements that the customer wants to be visible on the card. Card Punching Badge punching – opening in the upper part of the card for business or identification cards to attach the card to a clip or lanyard. This method is not recommended for contactless cards. The short or long side of the card can be punched. Punching (cutting) of the contact station and the chip with contact chip cards. It is necessary for subsequent uses of the card in SIM-size chip card reading devices. It spares the punching of the card during its production. Card Packing Card packing in transparent polypropylene envelope with the size of the card and thermo sticking on the short side is offered. It is used when the card has to be protected from being used before it reaches its end user, also to protect it from dirt and scratches or to adhere it to some other package, without leaving glue on the card. Lamination, Cinegram and Hologram Images In order to protect the image while printing, protective lamination films can be used. The laminates differ in thickness and are stuck to the card by heating it. Laminates with a hole for the chip are used with chip cards. To protect the information against falsification, films with an in-built optical protection are used - cinegram protections.
