The customization features of PVC cards for use tailored to your needs
The standard format of PVC cards is similar to that of bank cards (86 x 54mm), and their size allows them to easily fit into a wallet.

In addition, plastic card designs can be customized for maximum customization of the company’s brand image. Creations can vary in terms of colors, finishes, and shapes, allowing for complete customization of PVC cards. The unique designs of PVC cards allow for easy and quick recognition of the company. We print on white PVC cards in CMYK (5-color printing), and we prefer visuals that respect this color mode.

Hico or Loco Magnetic Encoding (Magnetic Stripe Card) | Low coercivity Loco cards are suitable for short-term needs. They are encoded by a low-intensity magnetic field (300 Ørsted / Oersted). They are often used for hotel room keys, theme park subscriptions, annual passes, etc. High coercivity or “Hico” cards are more suitable for long-term use and are encoded with a stronger magnetic field (2750 Ørsted / Oersted). The data encoded on the stripes are less likely to be accidentally erased when exposed to an external magnetic field, making them more durable. They are frequently used as credit cards, debit cards, access control cards, employee identification cards, etc. | |
7-Color Printing (CMYK + Orange, Violet, and White) | It is possible to add up to 2 colours to the 5 initials. Normally, the printing is done in cyan, magenta, yellow and black and by superimposing, all the colours are created. The addition of the colour purple and/or orange, also known as pantone colour, allows you to create a wider range of colours. This makes your colours more vivid and deep. A higher contrast is more visually pleasing. This option is relevant if purple or orange are dominant colours in your design. | |
Oblong or round hole | By adding a hole, your cards can be attached to lanyards, badge holders, etc. | |
Signature panel | The signature panel on PVC cards is typically used to allow the user to sign the card, which can serve as proof of identity or authorization. This is commonly used for identification cards, credit cards, and membership cards. The signature can be compared to that of the cardholder to confirm its authenticity. | |
Scratch-off panel | Scratch-off panels on PVC cards are used to conceal sensitive information. The user scratches off the panel to reveal the hidden information. They are commonly used for credit cards, gift cards, and lottery tickets. | |
Variable data printing per side | You can provide us with an excel file with a variable column for completely unique cards. Available variables include: a barcode or QR code, unique number, photo, text (variable embossing possible). This is ideal for employee identification badges. | |
Embossing (silver and gold) | This customization is a raised print, also known as embossing. It is the same raised effect as on credit cards. You can put numbers, letters, and even write in braille to be as inclusive as possible. Silver or gold are the most common colors, but it is possible to change the color (contact us). | |
Hot stamping (gold, silver, green, red) - only on project | Hot stamping on PVC cards is a method that involves embedding a colored metallic foil onto the surface of the card using heat and pressure, leaving a recessed impression.
