Personilsation

Our factory is capable of tackling the most intricate of card print runs to completing fast turnarounds on small print runs.

We do this by using the latest in card printing technologies that include state of the art digital and lithographic printing that delivers CMYK, Spot/Pantone colours, matt and gloss finishes, metallic inks and the newest addition to 3D printing. On top of all that we also offer the latest digital card printing technologies as well as innovative on card features such as Chip and Pin, scratch panels and numbering to name just a few.

Embossing
Our embossing machinery provides a flawless finish to our cards that can be seen on all high-quality bank cards. Additional colours can be added during the embossing process by the use of a coloured foil that will offer another level of quality and personalisation to the cards.

Encoding
We use the latest encoding technology to write and read date to the magnetic stripe on our cards. Our standard magnetic stripe works with 2 tracks –

• Track 1 is Alphanumeric with a max qty of 79 characters
• Track 2 is 37 NUMBERS only, Track 3 is Alphanumeric with a max qty of 107 characters.

Our cards support just about any standard magnetic strip based lock system including, Saflok, Ving and Tesa and we encoded on both Hico (high-coercivity)and Loco (low-coercivity).

We overlaminate our cards to protect the printing and enhance the durability of the magnetic stripes. Our cards meet all ISO and lock system specifications.

We also offer Mifare chip encoding, MIFARE is the leading contactless smart card platform used in numerous applications worldwide that provide a dedicated and secure infrastructure from which to issue contactless smart cards.

Barcoding
Barcodes and QR Codes provide a speedy and precise use for customers and benefit many businesses by saving money, time and easily manageable database of information use.

Our machinery allows ADC Plasticard to print high-quality Barcodes and QR Codes to any of our plastic cards or key fobs.  We handle many different types of barcodes from Code 128 to EAN 13 to name just a few. Feel free to contact us if you have any specific barcode requirements not covered here.

Our QR Codes (2D Codes) benefit from all the same printing and finishing as the above Barcode services but the QR Codes difference is that it benefits greatly from their ability to store significantly more data than traditional Barcodes which can only hold 20 characters. QR Codes allow for much more creativity and customer engagement.

Thermal Printing
Our machinery is equipped to take advantage of card personalisation via Thermal Printing which allows us to add custom content and text to each card using an array of fonts, we can even use client supplied fonts and print in a number of colours.
