Integrated Products
Integrated Cards involve the application of laser printer compatible plastic laminates to the front, back or both sides of a carrier sheet which is then die-cut to produce a peel out card. Various laminates can produce either a Matt or Gloss finish. This means that there is no need to separately print and attach a card, hence the term “integrated”.
Whilst there are obvious cost savings using this technique, there are also advantages in colour matching the rest of the form to the card or label and no production delays for separate printing. It also leaves less room for error in the labelling of samples.
Integrated Labels are constructed in a similar manner to integrated cards, however an adhesive laminate is applied to the carrier and then die-cut. The result is a peel out label formed from within the printed carrier that is also laser printer compatible. Integrated Labels can also be made to adhere to the inside of windscreens and windows for the purpose of parking permits etc.
It is common for the card size to conform to standard credit card size to allow placement into a wallet, however just about any size or shape can be produced. Within limits, (eg. fold positions) the card or label can also be placed freely on the form and multiple cards or labels within the form are also possible. The laminates we use are laser and signature compatible, and we can also incorporate other features such as holographic foil, barcoding and numbering to enhance the security features. Numbering and barcoding can be done under the laminate, which make it tamper proof and resilient to wear.
Integrated cards & labels can be produced together on the same form, allowing for a wide range of design options.
