Plastic Card Production

The gift card market is bigger than ever and it is growing every year. Every store has a large display of all kinds of gift cards and many billions are spent every year. Printing these cards has become a great niche for some in the industry and new machines have been created just for this purpose.

Plastic card printing is not just imaging. Plastic cards typically have a magstripe or an RFID chip embedded within so that information can be stored. Large card printers will often do the programming of the card at the same time as the printing.
