Colour Plastic Cards Blog

Hi All, we are just packing up our final frosted plastic card order before we close for the evening. I hear something interesting on the radio just now….we may be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights tonight! How amazing, I will keep my eyes peeled.

If you see any please try to take a photo and email it to us as I would love to see it: sales@cpcards.co.uk

Bye for now and happy sky gazing!

Hi all and happy Wednesday, what does the day have in store for you?

I have a meeting with my colleague in relation to promoting a new special offer of 250 full colour plastic cards for £95 plus delivery and vat, so far word of mouth has been a great advertiser for this offer but as always new business is wonderful to try and achieve.

I then have to sort out some new cards for our sample packs.

Last but not least I need to put together a quote for a University tender who would like an ongoing contract for the supply of full colour plastic cards.

Bye for now and hope you enjoy the day.

Hello,

I hope you all have a marvelous break over the Christmas and New Year period, I had a lovely relaxing family Christmas but may have eaten one too many chocolates! Ah well its only a once a year indulgence.

I would like to wish you all the very best for the upcoming year .

As always fantastic service and fantastic value for money.

Hope you all have a great Christmas

Many thanks

Many thanks to this customer for his kind comments

Hello All,

I must be honest with you and say that we do not often get chance to answer the telephone, we are all so busy work on orders and printing. A lot of time has been spent on the website to try and ensure all questions are answered on there to maximise efficiency for everyone. I thought I would summaries a few of the phone called from today

Call from a car servicing company wanting 760 micron full colour cards
Reason for call: would like prices for full colour cards with no optional extras
Response: politely refereed to website for prices
Additional question: can I have a sample of my design printed. Answer: yes once your order has been placed and paid for

A customer has received the postal proofs for a key card order and is asking about artwork specifications as they need to supply new artwork
Response: Politely refereed customer back to the website where the artwork specifications are located (the same location as they have always been)

A phone call was received from someone whos colleague posted an SAE to use for a generic sample pack (they think they are interested in the frosted plastic cards) however as far as they knew samples had not been received
Responce: I will look in to this and get back to you. It turned out we had not received the SAE and the customer was advised this via email. I am not sure whether the SAE was sent or not as as the person who was meant to send it is off work I suggested they posted it again.

A phoned call from an existing customer regarding prices for 680 micron plastic cards, full colour, no optional extras
Response: politely refereed to website for prices

Our website is great, please take the time to look at it!

Hi All, you are probably aware that a few years back we took the decision to ask for a SAE for sample packs as research showed that the majority of people who ordered one did not place an order with us.

Just now I received a phone call from a nice lady saying that she had receive our sample pack and wondered if we do biodegradable plastic cards, thanks I wont be placing an order she says – this exactly highlights our reason for asking for a SAE, as we could of told the lady this before she sent the SAE!

Just thought I would share that one with you

Hi All, I read a funny article in the news today regarding a fire station in Preston, they had some wording painted on the ground outside the premises, it was meant to say keep clear but unfortunately was painted as keep klear!

Oh dear, someone will be in trouble.

We occasionally have cards where customer have spelt words incorrectly, whether down to a typing mistake or just incorrect spelling who knows. This seems to happen more on the full colour cards than the frosted or anything else, probably as customers generally have more information on the full colour cards. Quite often the customer asks us to change it for them but they don’t realise that they sent the artwork to us in an format we can not edit (not always the case).

Bye for now and make sure you keep important access areas klear

a stunning design

Hi all,

I recently mentioned about our new product, the white plastic cards.

Sorry to mention them yet again but they really are a great product. If you have experiences problems with scuffing on the frosted cards perhaps the white cards would be the next product to order, as they are opaque they do not show scuff marks as much as the frosted.

Order a sample pack if you would like a look at them, for details of how to request a sample pack please see http://www.cpcards.co.uk/samplepack.html

Hello all,

We have recently started a new range of white plastic cards, they are printed the same way as the frosted and satin black cards. We have printed quite a few test designs on the white plastic cards and personally I think they look really good, sometimes I would go as far as saying better than the frosted!

We have put together a whole new webpage for the white plastic cards – see http://www.cpcards.co.uk/white_plastic_cards.html

This webpage shows examples, artwork specifications, prices. Please note for a limited time we are offering free design on this product, you can order online and list your requirements.
