EcoTough Plastic Card Printing

We can print EcoTough Cards for any type of business of use complete with a range of optional extras if required like sequential numbering, barcodes, QR codes, etc.

The majority of our work is from repeat customers as our quality, customer service and prices are second to none.

All our EcoTough Plastic Cards are printed in England and are very high quality and just 360 microns thick (0.36mm).

Our EcoTough Plastic Cards are printed in vibrant full colour (CMYK) on each side for no extra cost.

We can help you by creating your artwork for you, or if you are supplying your own artwork we can check it for technical issues and fix them so they will print perfectly.

EcoTough cards are built for durability as well as reduced environmental impact — a common choice for cards that get heavy daily handling, such as gym entry passes or staff ID badges, where a card is expected to last several years rather than being replaced annually. Clubs choosing this option are usually balancing a sustainability preference against needing a card that still survives frequent scanning and pocket wear.

Can I get eco-friendly membership cards printed?
Absolutely. EcoTough cards are popular for membership schemes, sports clubs, leisure centres, charities, and more. We can add sequential numbering, barcodes, or QR codes for membership tracking.
