Various plastic cards examples

We find most of our plastic cards orders are for membership cards or loyalty cards rather than normal business cards.

We can produce business cards / business card printing by offering any of our plastic cards products or our matt laminated business cards (card rather than plastic)

If you are interested in having business cards printed, email your requirements to us at sales@cpcards.co.uk

Example of business cards

Although our main business is printing plastic cards, such as our clear plastic cards or full colour plastic cards which are mainly used as loyalty cards or membership cards we also do business card printing.

Almost every business uses business cards, many not in huge volume, for example maybe they order just 250 or 500 cards which will last them for several years.

Some companies however orders 1,000 or more business cards for each employee and as employees leave and new ones arrive, new business cards are required.

On our full colour matt laminated business cards, we offer a free design service.

We often have customers requesting email proof after email proof with very slight changes to their artwork. The email proofs we provide are basically just the customers own artwork sent back to them.

We provide email proofs to ensure that the artwork has not become corrupt and that we have the correct files for them (e.g. we have not by accident selected the wrong one from our printing files). Customer seem to use them to proof read there own artwork! This really is not the point of them and basically causes unnecessary work for both the customer and for us.

We obviously want customer to be as happy as possible hence providing email proofs to ensure the artwork is correct. However we do really need to receive only the finished final, print ready, signed off artwork. Its such a shame that some customer consume so much of our time meaning that we can not help more customers in a quicker space of time.

We had a customer today who requested a 3rd email proof to show round a meeting they are having on Friday and they can not even confirm there embossing requirements which may mean a 4th submission of artwork.  We are wondering why they can not show their own artwork around the meeting? Surely this wold be easier for all concerned!?

Any comments would be welcome. We do not want to upset customers but we simply do not have enough time in the day.

Hello all,

Week in week out we receive compliments from customers who purchase our plastic cards, recently we have received a lot of positive feedback surrounding our response time to plastic card quote requests. We do try our very best to reply to all quotes very quickly.

The best way for a customer to request a quote if via our online quotation forms. This way we can fully understand the optional extras which are required.

I think that some customers may be put off completing the form as it asks for a contact telephone number. I would like to assure everybody that this telephone number will only be used should an emergency situation exist, for example if a customer has placed an order for plastic cards and the courier is struggling to delivery the order and this is the only phone number we have not tried, then we will use it as our mission is to ensure your order is delivered as timely as possible.

We are not the kind of company to phone up and pester potential customers as we do not think this has any advantage for anyone.

We may occasionally email to ask if there is anything we can do to assist with any order, if a customer replies to this email saying they are not interested then we simply do not contact them again. We just ask for a little courtesy and for customers to keep us informed, if for any reason they do not wish to proceed with their order – it’s not a problem, just keep us informed!

Anyhow. this blog started off on a positive note and has ended off in a little bit of a rant! We respect all our customers and hope they will return this to us. We welcome any constructive feedback.

Thank you for reading!

Our design studio recently created this design for a customer.

It is a frosted plastic card printed with black and white ink, doesn’t it look lovely?

It just goes to show you that black and white ink can indeed look stunning.

I think one reason that the design looks so good is because there is very little information on the card, it has a nice clean look, rather than having lots of information crammed onto the card such as various phone numbers or email addresses etc.

This is a lovely design that our design studio created

Wow today the enquiries for satin black plastic cards has been huge. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the great example we posted on the blog the other week or maybe thats just a coincidence. There are so many great ink/foil colours we can offer with this product. My personal preference would be for the metallic silver as this stands out so well and provides a great contrast against the black plastic. I also quite like metallic purple although the contrast against the black is not so prominent.

We can also offer optional extras on this product such as signature panels.

Oh I nearly forgot, we also offer a holoprint foil which is a lovely effect, similar to the back of a CD when it is moved around in the light.

Ah well better get on with some work, we will post any further news or updates on our plastic cards next week.

a stunning design

Business cards come in many shapes and sizes, but to make the right impression they do need to conform to a pre conceived image of quality. The tried and tested plastic business card will usually stand out from the crowd in it’s own unique way, If the design is of above average quality the plastic business card will actually float into the air and perform a loop the loop, followed by a barrel roll then even allow it’s lesser paper based business cards to “wing walk”. It is really quite amazing the tricks Mr plastic business card can perform. Business cards may be semi transparent, which can lead to wondrous sleights of hand and unbelievable manipulations one would not believe possible. Business cards are so amazing that they can even appear on Facebook, which is now believed to be the latest advertising tool to pop up on the interweb. Colour Plastic Cards business cards would really benefit from news blogs, then they could witter on about all sorts of nonsensical ideas just for fun. The Business card is a very strange beast, but one which Richard Attenbrough hasn’t yet filmed.

I always love it when we get repeat work for business cards from customers. Especially like the customer today who last ordered his business cards from us in April 2003 – blimey 6 years ago and they remember who they ordered their business cards from!

We get repeat orders of business cards every day of the week from our many happy customers but usually, the last time they ordered business cards is within the last 12 months or so.

Luckily, we keep the business card artwork on file for all our customers which makes it as easy as possible for customers to make repeat business card orders.

Recently we have experienced more orders for plastic cards to be used as business cards. Plastic cards do generally cost more than a normal card based business card but the image it portrays is worth every penny.

As well as plastic cards we print more normal business cards which are our full colour matt laminated business cards.

We offer a fantastic design service, which on some of our plastic cards, is included free of charge.

All you need to do is email the details you would like on your card with any specific requirements.

You can even email a rough design you have created to us for us to base the final design on.
