Own Your Own Plastic Card Printer &
Print Your Own Plastic Cards — Learn Why

If you will be printing ongoing membership or I.D. cards, it's faster, less expensive, and easier to print your own cards.

Benefits of Doing It Yourself

We could print your plastic cards for you but, frankly, it makes more sense to do it yourself.  Why?

• Less Expensive Cost Per Card (compare pricing)
• Change Card Designs whenever you want to
• Print card immediately, no waiting 4 weeks for your cards
• Quality control -- No mistakes on your cards
• Complete control of the printing process

If you print them, you will not have a 2-4 week delivery time, and won't be charged a service fee for having a manufacturer print smaller quantities of plastic cards (you are charged a service fee for any quantity less than 4,000 cards.) Plus you maintain control of printing changes, quality, and delivery times.

What Else Should I Consider?

QUESTION:  How long will it take until I get a return on my investment (ROI) when I buy a plastic card printer?

In most cases, printing your own cards with your new plastic card printer will be more expensive on the first order than letting us handle the printing for you, but as you continue to order, the cost per card will drop dramatically. So, having your own card printer will pay off in the long run.

QUESTION:  I tend to need a small number of cards printed at a time.  Is it cost-effective for me to have the printing outsourced?

No, it is not cost-effective.  Why?  The minimum order for outsourcing is 1,000 cards.  The cost per card for 1,000 cards is almost 8 times the amount than the charge for 10,000 cards.

So, if you only need 4,000 cards or less printed, your money is better spent buying your own plastic card printer.

QUESTION:  Are there any printing press "set up" charges, when outsourcing, that I need to be aware of?

Yes.  When you outsource your printing, you are charged a flat fee, regardless of your order size (1,000 or 500,000 cards), for taking the necessary printing press time to get your cards exactly like your artwork.
