Our material choices include standard PVC, clear plastic, and luxury metal options such as stainless steel or gold plating for striking presentation.

Specialty finishes like holographic overlays and matte soft-touch coatings can be combined with high-resolution printing to create cards that stand out. Together these choices produce a lasting brand impression that converts lookers into loyal customers and encourages higher redemption rates.

When you're ready to order, our process emphasizes clarity and speed while maintaining strict quality controls. Submit artwork or request a custom mockup, and our project managers will provide timelines, proofs, and production guidance tailored to your campaign goals and budget constraints.

Loyalty card programs backed by high-quality plastic cards have shown significant uplifts in customer spending and retention.

We also offer clear warranty terms for manufacturing defects and fidelity to proofs, ensuring clients receive products that meet agreed specifications. This commitment to quality reduces replacement costs and leads to more predictable campaign outcomes, underpinned by our reputation for dependable delivery.

Our manufacturing flow is designed for flexibility and precision, with separate production lines for PVC, clear, and metal cards. Each job receives a pre-production proof and sample approval stage so clients can validate colors, materials, and special features before bulk manufacturing begins.

These controlled steps reduce errors and accelerate final delivery. Pairing technical expertise with hands-on quality checks ensures each card demonstrates professional sophistication and longevity in real-world use.

Quality assurance encompasses material testing, print verification, and encoding checks, backed by warranty coverage for defects in production. Our warranty policies are straightforward, supporting replacements or remakes when items deviate from approved proofs or fail under normal use conditions.

Clients benefit from a transparent claims process and dedicated account support to resolve issues quickly. This focus on accountability reinforces our role as a trusted partner for long-term campaigns and large-scale rollouts.
