Embossing | Production of plastic, magnetic and chip cards - BlackCard

Card personalization and customization

Thermal printing

This is an additional surface print of variable data, which we perform as a last operation on individual cards. Thermal printers are used for printing.
We reprint variable numbers, names, bar/QR codes, scratch pads, photos of people. At the same time we can encode the magnetic stripe on the card.

Inkjet printing

Inkjet personalization with only black colour, reprint of number, name, barcode, QR code, plus print of scratch pad. At the same time, the magnetic stripe of the cards can be coded for personalization. Suitable technology for higher card costs.

Digital printing

Digital printing enables high-quality customization of texts, numbers, bar/QR codes, colour logos and, above all, printing of people’s photos. We personalize in print sheets before laminating and cutting individual cards. An indisputable advantage is the high protection of the card against mechanical damage of personalized data.

Embossing

Embossing is a way of personalization using relief. After stamping, the numbers or texts are covered with coloured metallic foil, most often gold, silver, black or white.
