ID Card Printing

Here at Universal Smart Cards, we can print and customise the ID cards that you need for your business or your team. Whilst most cards can be issued straight from the manufacturer in their generic state, some solutions require plastic card personalisation services, identification services and/or authentication services before they are suitable for use. 

 There are two main categories when it comes to personalised plastic cards, this is what they mean: 

Types of Plastic Card Personalisation

Physical Personalisation

When it comes to exactly the kind of services we offer at Universal Smart Cards, we have a range of card customisation and plastic card personalisation services to suit a rang of industries.

The type of things we do can include printing text, barcodes, QR codes, photographs, logos and numbering. We also aren’t limited to printing on ISO-sized cards.

• Larger card formats
