Do plastic cards have a standard size?
• YES, 3.375” x 2.125”. (Like a standard credit card)

Can I have images printed on both sides of my card?
• YES, we can print up to six colors on each side of the card.

Is there a minimum order quantity?
• NO, just call for pricing.

Can my colors be matched?
• YES, but remember – if your cards are laminated (which produces the most durable card), colors may vary slightly due to high heat exposure in lamination.

Can you add a hologram to my card?
• YES. Standard and custom holograms designed for visual impact or to provide security can be applied to your card via hot stamping.
Is there a difference between low- and high-coercivity magnetic stripes?
• YES. The data on a high-coercivity (2750-4000 Oersteds) stripe cannot be easily erased by a magnet as a low-coercivity (300 Oersteds) stripe can.

Is my plastic card really a marketing tool?
• YES! Your card is a personalized ad in the possession of your customer or member.
