The Plastic Card Hub is designed for shorter run orders
Plastic Card Services (PCS) has launched www.plasticcardhub.co.uk, a web to print service for short run orders.
The Plastic Card Hub allows customers to choose the exact quantity of cards they want (from 50-5000), see an instant price for their cards, upload or create a design from scratch (including variable data) and buy online, with the option of receiving their printed cards within three working days.
The Hub is the result of a £1 million investment by PCS to create a brand new digital print production facility at the company’s existing manufacturing campus in Macclesfield, Cheshire.
Adam Unsworth, managing director, commented, ‘We knew the demand for shorter-run work was there from our existing customers which is why we started to look into creating our digital production facility, but we also wanted to streamline the ordering and production process. Rather than restrict the options available to customers by sticking with a set platform, we worked with developers to create something that was exactly what we wanted.’
As well as standard CR80 plastic cards, customers can also choose from the increasingly popular card and fob format, three up fobs, hotel key cards with either magnetic stripe and DDA notches or contactless Mifare 1k chips, RFID shielding cards and contactless smart cards incorporating Mifare 1k or Mifare 4 chips.
