Datacards are available in three different grades, gold, platinum and titanium. In each case the cards are 85mm x 54mm with 3mm rounded corners. They are printed in full colour on both sides.
Gold Datacard
Our Gold cards are printed on 400gm Silk Art Card which is sealer varnished on both sides. These can also bespecified Gloss or Matt Laminated on one side or both sides. They are particularly suited for shorter term use, such as phonecards and WiFi access cards. NB. Signature strip and scratch off panel cannot be applied to a laminated face.
Platinum Datacard
Our Platinum cards are a laminate construction of rigid plastic on a card core. They have a high gloss finish on both sides. The thickness of the card is approximately 0.5mm. They are particularly suited to medium term uses, such as Discount Cards.
Titanium Datacard
Our Platinum Datacards look identical to our Platinum Datacards, at first sight.� The difference is that they have a plastic core.�This results in an exceptionally durable card which will withstand sustained handling.�Their durability might be compared to a conventional Credit Card. Titanium datacards are excellent for long term uses such as Membership Cards.
Variable Data
Where the artwork has a dark background it would require a white box for numbering etc. Data can be positioned anywhere on the card with a minimum of 3mm from any edge. Data can also be at 90 degees if required.
Finishing
All types of Datacard can be supplied without additional finishing for use as round cornered business cards. All can be finished with a Signature Strip, Scratch Off Strip, Variable Data (this can consist of a Barcode, Pin Number and Serial number provided the variable data is all to one side of the card) and Magnetic Strip (with or without encoding). The different processes can be applied to either side of the card at no extra cost. (Eg Variable data on one side and Signature strip on the reverse). We are able to cut out special shapes from Titanium Datacards. The shaped card is retained within the Datacard until the end user 'pops it out' for use on, typically, a�keyring. |
