Plastic Card Manufacturing
Printing and Assembly
 The lithographic printing presses used are specialised for the printing of plastic. This ensures that the quality of print is second to none. Many manufacturers make do with presses intended for paper and light gauge plastic which can lead to inferior print.
Specialist UV lithographic printing equipment facilitates the processing of materials ranging from 150 to 800 micron. Additional varnishing and spot colouring is undertaken on any one of four silk-screen printing machines.
The card factory boasts the latest card assembly equipment, which includes Louda, Kurz and Spartanic punches, tape layers and collators. Additionally an automated laminating system has been installed. Several hologram and block foiling/ signature panel application systems are also used.
 Bureau Facilities
For the expanding Telecommunications market both post-paid and pre-paid telephone cards are available. PIN/batch numbering, flow wrapping and scratch-off paneling (with outer-bagging if required) are fulfilled using camera verification technology, therefore ensuring all processes are controlled
For carrier and match mounting work, we utilise a variety of new Xerox and Océ high-speed volume laser printers, and 4 fully automatic high speed match mounting systems.
