Hi All,

We have a customer at the moment who submitted terrible artwork for the full colour cards, he received his postal proof and was not happy with a number of things. My colleague very kindly agreed to wrestle with this artwork, free of charge and sent a proof over by email for him to approve prior to production of his 2nd postal proof.

He approved this email proof so we started production on the 2nd postal proof however the very next day the customer contacts us saying there is a typing mistake which our spell check department had not picked it up. My colleague was a little upset by this as it had taken him a long time to sort this customers artwork out and obviously he did not even bother to check the email proof properly. We do not have a spell check department, as a lot of our customers provide there own artwork (as this customer did!).

We are currently in the process of stopping production of the 2nd postal proof and yet again for no cost changing the customers own artwork.

I am not sure what the moral of this story should be, it could be for us not to fix customers artwork, make customers wait for 24 hours to approve an email proof, don’t bother at all the email proofs as they are not checked properly! Or should we just put this down as experience and try to to taint every customer with the same brush. Personally I think the latter is the best option however it is difficult!

Please please please, if you are placing an order with us, could you double and triple check all email proofs before approving them. Thank you!

Bye for now

Hi All,

We are now offering metallic gold and silver base cards (for the full colour plastic cards) on a solid PVC stock.

This product offers a really professional image, either for membership schemes or business cards.

There is one limitation with this product, we can not offer any white text/images (as there is not white base to show through the CMYK printing). Don’t let this put you off through as anything you have within your design with is white will simply show as the metallic base colour, This effect can look very good.

At the moment we can only offer this product in the 760 micron thickness, We are trying to source thinner stock but at the moment we are struggling. For most people this isn’t a problem with this product as they usually want the thickest possible product to give a professional look.

Place your order now!

A metallic plastic card

We have a special offer on which is 100 x 760 micron full colour solid plastic cards for £85 + VAT or the quantity of 200 for £105 + VAT – the prices include delivery to one UK mainland address. This offer is not available with a postal proof or optional extras and is based on print ready artwork being supplied.

The idea is that this is a way to provide small runs of cards for a great price to customers but with minimal production time spent on the order hence how we can offer such good prices.

Unfortunately some customer’s do not appreciate that we want finished print ready and final artwork to quality for this offer and submit copious amounts of artwork to the wrong specification after we have spent time reviewing it and sending an email proof back. This really is not the way the special offer is meant to work!

If you want to take advantage of this truly wonderful offer please send your artwork over to the correct specification and we will be pleased to process it your order for you.

Bye for now.

Today we have received more repeat orders than normal, one which was from 6 years ago.

Repeat orders are great and as time goes on we do receive more and more of them.

If it is an exact repeat plastic card order then we can usually turn it around a little bit quicker than if it was a brand new order.

We also often find that we are able to charge repeat customers the same amount for their re-order as we did many years ago, good to see that unlike a lot of things in life, plastic cards don’t have to cost more money!

We have new galleries on our business cards website to hopefully give our customers some inspiration.

The two new galleries can be found on the links below:

We are going to add more business cards galleries over the next few weeks to assist our customer further with ordering creative business cards.

The interface that we have used for the galleries is very easy and great fun to use

Over the last few days we have been working hard to implement a new frosted clear business card example page found here.

We hope that our customers will like the new way the cards are displayed in a fun fashion.

We are amazed at how many people per day come to our website looking for club penguin cards.

Is it because club penguin cards when shortened becomes cpcards?

Who knows!

What is club penguin – is it a kids thing, is it kids that are coming to our website looking for a penguin?

All we know is we have nothing to do with it – we just print plastic cards and business cards.

We offer metal looking business cards which are very effective and eyecatching

.

They are available with a gold or silver finish and can be printed on one or both sides with either a single colour or multiple colours. We are also able to print sequential numbering and signature strips allowing the cards to be used as membership or loyalty cards.

We recently printed a black plastic card with a large gloss black pattern in the background.

When we received the artwork from the customer, we thought it would look good when printed but not this good!

The gloss black ink when printed on a satin black plastic card gives a very subtle watermark type effect. It can be seen more clearly as the card is angled in the light.
