Recently we have been receiving more orders for our clear plastic cards.

The increase in clear plastic card orders is from a combination of repeat plastic card orders, referral plastic card orders, our website being more prominent on the internet so more customers can find us and also because we have recently updates the clear plastic card galleries showing various examples of our work.

A clear plastic card will always be eye catching, even if printed with just a single ink colour, rather than a more complicated and expensive multi colour plastic card.

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.

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.

We often have customers asking for frosted and satin black cards with a very short time period.

The standard turnaround time for this product is 7 to 10 working days.

This time frame builds in time for the printing plates to be ordered, produced and received. This can at worse case scenario take 3 working days.

The timeframe also includes time to actually print the cards and some room for any problems occurring. For example occasionally the printing plates may be damaged in the post / during transit.

We can offer rush order, which may sometime but subject to an additional charge to cover ordering express printing plates and paying staff to work overtime.

I just wanted to very briefly explain why this product does take a little time to produce.

Please contact us if you have any order you need really quickly.

A repeat customer who places regular orders for frosted plastic cards with three ink colours got in touch last week, as they urgently required some cards for an event.

The order was for the total quantity of 1250 cards but split between 3 different names/designs.

As this order involved different names and therefore different  printing plates the pressure was really on with this order.

Luckily we managed to juggle things around a little and managed to dispatch with time to spare,

The customer comments are as follows:

“The business cards have arrived a whole day early and they look fantastic,
thank you very much.”

We managed to dispatch this order in  three working days.

I can’t promise that this turn around time will always be achievable however if you need your plastic cards in a rush please contact is and we will try our best for you.

Since we have started calling our frosted plastic cards, clear plastic cards or clear business cards we have already started to receive more enquiries for them.

We offer free design service for our clear business cards, alternative the customer can supply the artwork if they prefer.

We have made a few tweaks to our website recently to make it easier to navigate and find the information.

One important change we have made to the clear plastic card page is adding the navigation buttons to the top of each page in addition to the bottom.

An example of a clear plastic card order

Hot foil printing has been around for a long long time however unfortunately the products we offer via this printing method (frosted plastic cards, satin black plastic cards and some metallic plastic cards) are just not selling as well at the moment as they have been in the past.

We have recently discovered that our frosted plastic cards are often referred to by customers as clear business cards or clear plastic cards so we are now calling them this instead.

We have tried different ways to promote these cards including re-designing the web pages, including artwork in the price and just generally promoting them as a professional yet contemporary plastic card. However this has surprisingly not really increased the sales in this area.

We will try our best to think of other ways to promote this excellent product however if anybody out there comes up with any ideas for us, please drop us a line.

Its not a product we are looking to stop selling as we appreciate that customers do want the choice.

Catch you soon

Another loverly clear plastic card example

We have recently added information to our artwork specifications page for our clear plastic cards to help people to design the cards. It lists the printing limitations for the clear plastic cards.

The page is only a couple of weeks old and we have already received lots of positive feedback.

All I can say is we are glad that the information we have provided is helping people to design their own cards.

Alternatively, we are able to crate a card design free of charge. All you need to do is email the wording/details you require on the card and pay a £50 deposit and our design studio will create your clear plastic card design and email a photo-realistic proof to you to check.

This is another nice looking clear plastic card design that we printed this week for a customer.

It is a clear plastic card printed with red and black ink.

Our design studio created the design for the customer based on their input and once approved we printed and delivered the cards within 10 working days.
