Plastic card realistic email proofs


plastic cards special offer

We are amazed at how many customers email their artwork to us for their plastic cards and once they receive their photo-realistic proof back, they spot errors on their own artwork.
Below is an email we received this morning from one of our customers who had emailed their artwork to us and then received one our of photo-realistic proofs.
Yes all received

Just making a decision

I have noticed the freephone number is missing and there is a spelling mistake so I will need to send new artwork when we order.

Kind regards

We are glad that they spotted the error before a postal proof was sent to them, it is just a pity that they didn’t check their artwork before they sent it to us as this will save everyone time.

Foil printed plastic cards


plastic cards special offer

Our most popular product ranges are the full colour solid plastic cards and the foil printed plastic cards. I wanted to briefly touch upon the foil printed cards. The most popular card from this range is the clear plastic cards.

I am note sure that many people are aware of this but the clear plastic cards, satin black plastic cards and metallic plastic cards are all printed using the same printing method.

This is really important to point out, as if you are thinking of starting a membership scheme you could utilise these different base cards to show different member categories, for example:

Frosted clear plastic cards: Standard membership

Metallic Silver plastic cards: For silver members (or perhaps platinum)

Metallic Gold plastic cards: For gold members

Satin black plastic cards: For very exclusive members

Obviously you can organise the different tiers of membership anyway you like and the above is just to give you an idea.

I hope this has given you something to think about. Please drop us an email if you would like a quote.

Clear plastic cards from America


plastic cards special offer

Hi all,

It has come to our attention that a lot of American companies are advertising clear plastic cards on the internet search engines. I just wanted to point out that we are a UK based company and our cards are produced in the UK.

This means that the production and shipping time for your order is not delayed by the cards having to cross waters or potentially been delayed by customs.

Also remember that we your order goods from America you will also be subject to duty (which I believe is 5%) and VAT (which we would obviously have to apply at the current rate of 15%).

Please come and purchase our clear cards, they are great!

Bye for now.

A nice email from a happy customer


plastic cards special offer

Hi All,

We received a nice email from a customer today. He had received his order and emailed to say “Cards arrived this morning…perfect…thank you”

The order was for just 100 full colour solid plastic cards 420 microns thick, for a web developer.

Personally I think that the design of the cards (done by the customer) look very classy with a black background and a matt finish. I am glad he is pleased with them.

Thank you for your comments, as I have stated just a few times before, emails from customers thanking us are always nice to receive and more than welcome.

Bye for now.

A small clear plastic card order


plastic cards special offer

A small order for 100 clear plastic cards was placed on the 26th May, it just had one colour to the front and was quite a simple yet effective design.

We dispatched the order on the 2nd June which is 5 working days. The customer was very pleased that the cards arrived earlier than expected & sent us a lovely email saying:

“The cards arrived this morning

Thank you so much – they’re absolutely great! Speedy delivery too. I will be recommending CPCards!”

The customer originally wanted the cards for the 4th June and we advised that this may be a little tight which in the end we got the cards to the customer a day early.

Yet another happy customer


plastic cards special offer

A repeat customer contacted us recently as they have changed there company name and required new plastic business cards.

We based the design of there new cards on there past design as they were very pleased with this. The customer requested that additional logos be added and this was actioned for them.

The customer was in a little bit of a rush for the cards as the new company name was already in use and they needed the business cards to go with the new name.

We received a lovely email from the customer after they had received the order”

“Thanks for the cards, first day back in work today, so I hadn’t seen them, good job as always!”

I may have mentioned before that we are always grateful for any comments 🙂
