CardLogix can build the card that’s right for your application(s). Card options include a variety of card technologies, security graphics, custom design and printing services, and card substrates. All CardLogix cards can be developed as hybrid cards with both a contact and contactless interface. They can be combined with additional card technologies such as CPU or memory chips, magnetic stripes, 1D/2D barcodes, and MRZs (Machine Readable Zones). Combination cards and hybrid cards expand application possibilities for an infinite number of ID card solutions. This versatility also enables the integration of newer card technologies into legacy readers and systems to protect existing technology investment and lifespan.
Add a memory chip or UHF chip/ tag to your smart card for legacy applications, such as payments for catering, vending machines, parking, or transportation; or for physical access systems. CardLogix can provide many chip options, including HID Prox® and 1125mhz proximity. These chips use RFID, NFC, and UHF technologies that follow the ISO/IEC 14443, ISO 15693, and ISO 18092 standards. Add a contact chip card, such as one of CardLogix M.O.S.T. Card® C5 or C7 microprocessor chips, for applications that require a secure contact interface. Combine with a M.O.S.T. Card C6 or C8 microprocessor chip for highest-security, high-speed, contactless applications.
CardLogix offers a full lineup of magnetic stripe card (magstripe) options. Magnetic Stripes are a useful feature to add to your cards so that they continue to work with existing legacy card readers and software programs. Magstripes are a good option for Loyalty Card programs or Gift Card programs. CardLogix can pre-load custom data on the magnetic stripe or it can be customer-encoded. The magnetic stripe card works in conjunction with the promoter’s software in order to provide the cardholder with special offers, credit toward purchases, and marketing incentives. It s also used in building databases that help analyze buying habits of customers. This information is useful because retailers can better serve their customer base by stocking the products they are most interested in buying. It also has many more uses that offer a wealth of valuable marketing applications.
Magnetic stripe options:
CardLogix can print sequential or custom numbered barcodes using barcodes such as 2D, PDF417, 3 of 9, HIBC, code 128, etc. Barcoding is a popular option that can be added to any card. Most modern retail cash register systems read barcodes at the checkout stand so this is the perfect and fastest way to gather information about customers and to see what they are buying. It is also a great way to manage memberships in facilities and operations that have many cards to flow in and out. Each card is capable of carrying a unique barcode on either the front or reverse side. Another advantage of an ID card with a barcode printed on it is that it can be scanned extremely quickly to identify the user.
The same background artwork that you see on every card for a specific program? That’s the primary card artwork. The background artwork gets printed and embedded at the point of card manufacturing. As card layers are stacked together, so is your artwork.
CardLogix offers graphic design, artwork preparation, and consulting services for your primary card artwork. Send what you have, and we’ll do the rest.
This is what gets printed after your cards are in their final shape. Secondary printing usually involves variable data; that is, data that is different on each card. This includes serial numbers, photo IDs, cardholder data, and more.
Depending on the size of your project, CardLogix can do this for you. Services include printing unique ID card numbers to each card, serialized laser engraving, and more. For smaller runs or for applications that involve distributed, instant card issuance, we recommend purchasing one or more ID Card Printers with ID Card Printer Software, such as CardLogix’ Card Encoding Engine
Security graphics are usually applied to cards at the point of manufacture. They use very specific, high-end printing and engraving technologies that make cloning and fraud extremely difficult for perpetrators.
Customers have the option of including a signature panel on the reverse of the card or a digitally scanned signature on the front of the card. Adding a signature panel to your card gives makes it possible to add information on the card at a later time.
Tipping refers to coloring tip of the raised or embossed letters with certain colors to make the numbers or letters stand out from the card. Gold and silver colors are available.
This option can be added to any card order to help in the identification of a card holder or special program that the number may be referencing.
Add your company logo or symbol to your card to increase security or brand awareness. You can also laser engrave a unique or sequential number and/or barcode.
These can be pre-printed on cards for purchases off-shelf, or they can be combined with other artwork.
CardLogix Holofoil Cards are a cost-effective and non-peelable alternative to holographic laminates for increasing a card’s physical security. The holofoils are embedded within the card substrate, providing a smooth surface with no damage to print heads. CardLogix Holofoil Cards can be purchased off-the-shelf with several designs to choose from, or they can be built to order with your custom designs.
ReadyStart Secure Cards are a family of pre-printed ultra-high resolution 2400 dpi security background plastic cards that enable a rapid start in the physical security, personalization and issuance of smart card and eID Credentials. ReadyStart Secure Cards are available off-the-shelf in many popular and industry-specific ID card designs. They significantly reduce the time and expense of custom graphic designing and card printing. Corresponding ReadyStart background templates can be found in CardLogix Card Encoding Engine™ Card Personalization software.
CardLogix’ standard card is constructed with white, commercial grade PVC substrate and a mirror-mirror finish for use with desktop printers. Other, higher-end card substrates are available.
Commercial Grade Cards are general purpose card bodies for applications such as loyalty and libraries. The majority of PVC cards in your wallet today are made with Commercial Grade substrates, and they are the most cost effective option.
PVC is the most widely used material for plastic cards, and has been used for photo IDs for more than 10 years. Low in cost, the smooth surface of photo quality PVC material accepts dyes for high quality ID image printing and is compatible with most laminate materials.
PET is a polyester material that was used for many years for the punch laminate style of IDs. It is a crystalline plastic and has higher heat resistance than PVC. Durable and resistant to moisture and chemical attack, the material is typically used as an outer laminate for PVC, composite and Teslin cards. PET is more expensive than PVC, and is generally used as part of a multi-part card construction.
These eco-friendly, biodegradable cards are manufactured from corn and based on the (NatureWorks® PLA) material. They look and feel identical to traditional plastic PVC cards.
Precision Identity Grade Cards should be used when dimensional tolerances are critical and when the cards will be printed with additional graphic imaging (such as an employee badge).
Government Certified Cards are uniquely built to meet ongoing card body certifications and requirements for different governments. CardLogix can help you come through with the toughest cards certified today.
Molded ABS SIM Cards are designed for the specific demands of the Telecommunication industry. These cards have a higher Vicat softening point, and are best suited for the high temperatures in mobile devices and are rarely handled by the consumer.
Polycarbonate is an extremely durable thermoplastic polymer resistant to high temperatures and impact. Used in items like DVDs and CDs, it is receptive to offset security printing. PC is not compatible with variable printing, such as resin transfer or dye diffusion. When constructed with a very thin transparent laser receptive layer, PC cards can be laser engraved with very high definition graphics. Cards can be assembled with RFID, IC and contactless technology. PC is more difficult to manufacture, and is more expensive to produce than PVC or composite cards. PC cards are primarily used with laser technology to produce black images/text. PC or PC composite cards are typically used for the longest life and/or highest security IDs.
