PVC Plastic Cards & Printing

Ecardz can offer some unique solutions when extra security is required for staff ID cards. As a reseller for HID Global, we can provide specialised Trusted NFC cards which will send an authentication signal back to our Proof of Identity software. This allows fake ID cards to be notified immediately to the administration system.

For a completely digital solution please contact us for more information about our Digital ID Wallet.

Custom printed plastic id cards can be printed to your own design and specifications. Full colour photographs or art will be reproduced faithfully and Pantone colours will be followed if supplied. We can include metallic inks and holographic stamping to add authenticity and to achieve the look you are wanting. Smart cards are included in the range, we supply a number of commonly used contactless cards, including Mifare Classic 1kb and Mifare DESfire 4kb. Other chip types may be supplied on request. Our ISO standard ID cards are also used to overprint colourful and on–brand identification cards for many companies and organisations, as well as for local and central government departments. Functionality can be enhanced by adding barcodes or magnetic stripe encoding data to the basic cardholder data and photograph which appear on the front of the card. Security can enhanced by adding a secure holographic overlay.

Depending on your requirements, an ID card can include multiple features such as a photo, barcode, QR code, magnetic stripe, smart chip or RFID or a combination of these features depending on what you require. Printing ID cards is simple and painless, but we suggest to think through the future of your business and add the features to your ID cards while we print.

We always suggest to future proof your business and avoid future costs by thinking ahead. With the right technology, ID cards can be used to access your in-house systems, examples include payments at the cafeteria or checking out items from your store/library. We work with you to design, print, activate and deliver ID cards for any business type and size. To know more about our standards read below. We supply ID cards NZ wide, so if you need ID cards or ID badges, get in touch today.

To protect your printer and to minimise wastage, always keep your supply of cards in a clean dry place and protect your cards from dust and dirt at all times.

We have supplied cards to beekeepers to use as bee landing platforms to help bees find their way home to their hives. This is an initiative supported by Ecardz to reduce our carbon footprint and act in an environmentally responsible way. Plastic cards CAN be used to clean ice off your windshield in winter, we just don’t recommend you use a card that you then need to use for another purpose!

Plain cards conform to ISO Standards 7810-1995 (E) and 7810-1990 (E). The cards are made of PVC plastic and have a sheer gloss laminate overlay on both sides which allows for cardholder details to be added. In appearance the cards resemble banking cards in size and shape with rounded corners. The base stock colour is white. Ecardz can design a card for you or work from your supplied artwork to create an attractive card which represents your brand in the market. Our cards can be printed up to full colour on both sides and can include additional features such as metallic inks, foil hotstamping, magnetic stripes and signature panels if required.
