Barcode start number on plastic cards


plastic cards special offer

A customer placed an order today for the 760 micron plastic cards with barcodes. When I asked what number to start the barcode sequence at they just said 1, I enquired as to how many zeros they required in front of this and the reply was that they wanted the usual.

I just wanted to let you know that as far as I know there is no usual, sometimes the software system even needs a certain number of characters for the barcode to be read.

If in doubt I would recommend that you contact your software supplier to clarify the requirements or if you are already using cards with your system have a look what is on these.

Just for information, we can produce the following cards with barcodes:

Full colour in 760 micron 86 x 54mm

Full colour in 680 micron 86 x 54mm

Full colour in 420 micron 86 x 54mm

and Key cards Full colour in 680 micron 29 x 54mm

If you have any questions please get in touch.

Frosted translucent plastic cards


plastic cards special offer

Hello,

We have an exciting new look for our frosted translucent plastic cards web page.

Hopefully users will find it easy to navigate and pleasing to view.

We realised there are still a few duplicate areas e.g. prices however this has been done intentionally to help people find their way around the page and locate important info with ease.

Its hard as different people look for information in different places as obviously we are all unique and we are trying to cover all the bases!

Inspiration has been drawn from a couple of different websites – HTC and Ipad Mini – I don’t think we are quite as stylish as these sites yet but be assured we are working on it!

If you would like to leave any feedback (good or room for improvement comments) on the new page it would be welcomed.

Bye for now

Membership Cards For Your Business

Importance Of Membership Cards

Membership cards are extremely important especially in places like gyms and clubs. The major benefit with these cards is that it prevents people from using your services without actually paying for it. Also most of these cards are designed to offer discounts on purchases made.

This can definitely increase the member’s loyalty towards the store. When customers use these cards with discounts, they are left with more money to spend on other things. This will in turn prompt them to make more purchases. Also these cards can be used as a way to track customers shopping habits. This data collected can be used to direct specific advertising campaigns towards the customers that are most likely to be receptive.

Membership cards also allow the merchant to know various details about the customer such as name, address and other contact information. This makes it possible for merchants to send marketing materials to various customers. Thus these cards act as important marketing tools. Also discounts on these cards can encourage members to refer friends and colleagues.

Plastic Card Printing For Loyalty Cards

Choose Plastic Card Printing For Your Loyalty Cards

Loyalty cards are promotional marketing tools that most businesses use across several industries.

Loyalty cards are designed mostly to encourage repeat purchases from new or existing customers.

They can also be used to track customer purchases to gain a better understanding of buying patterns and target marketing.

These cards are distributed in stores, online or through the mail. With businesses subjected to fierce competition it is just not enough to work hard, but also to work smart in order to reap great success.

Every business person knows very well that it can be harder to get new customers than to retain the old. Loyal customers or repeat customers are extremely important as they help with bringing a steady stream of income and keep the ball rolling and loyalty cards can do a great job with increasing repeat business. Now if you want these cards to look more appealing and last longer, then choose plastic card printing.

Wondering Where To Get Plastic Card Printing Done?

If you don’t know where to get plastic card printing done, then head on to CP Cards. We offer premium quality printing services at affordable prices. These cards are made from superior quality materials and are waterproof and cannot be easily destroyed. The cards are printed on both sides under the plastic surface, so that the printing doesn’t wear off over time. This is due to the printing being done onto a plastic base and the use of clear PVC being bonded on both sides. You also have the option of getting the plastic card printing in matt or gloss finishes.

Turnaround times on plastic cards


plastic cards special offer

Hi all,

We, like pretty much everyone else in this country, understand that times are tough financially. Many repeat customers are asking us for better prices and comparing us unfairly to companies who produce outside the UK.

We have a lot to offer, fair prices, fast turnaround, supporting the economy by keeping production in England and the same holidays as you.

Before placing an order with a company offering what appear to be out of this world prices ask yourself a few questions e.g.

1) What is the turnaround – we have viewed quotes from competitors stating approx. 20 working days for delivery – that is a month! Ok you think your not in a rush for them at the moment but give it a month or so and you may well be needing them sooner however as your cards are still in China very little can be done to speed them up!

2) Are the cards produced in England? We are aware of companies telling customers that the cards are printed in England and they clearly are not. Think again about the turnaround times if they are excessive there will be a reason for this e.g. they are being shipped in from China.

3) Imagine trying to contact a company who is having two weeks off for Chinese new year celebrations! You just want your cards but no one is answering emails or the phone and clearly your cards are not being produced! Being in England, we are closed for the bank holidays and two weeks over Christmas.

4) Check out review sites before placing an order. Be very wary of ones will bad reviews!

Finally, and I know this may seen extreme, but lets all try to support our own family, friends, neighbours, acquaintances etc by supporting the UK economy who knows what effect shopping just on price alone will have in the future, unfortunately I sense more big name stores closing in this country. Sorry to not leave this blog on a cheery note – I promise the next one will be happier!

Professional Membership Cards


plastic cards special offer

Many start-up businesses originate with the idea to provide a service to either the general public or a niche market. For niche markets, normally there needs to be a way to clearly identify clientele as the services are exclusive to them alone. Therefore membership cards are a primary order when stocking up on essential items for the opening of your new business.

Elite Membership Cards

Exclusive nightclubs, premium priced services and recreation clubs are all common businesses that utilise membership cards. They not only enable you to clearly identify who your customers are when they enter but they also give the owners of the card a sense of importance and value. That they are part of an exclusive and sometimes elite club if they are paying a substantial amount for your services.

Therefore your membership card design needs to match the quality of the services you provide. Basic paper cards will not do, you need plastic card printing services.
