Corporate Bulk Card Order Guide

Short answer: For a bulk card order, first decide on the card type (chip or chipless, depending on your reader), prepare the design and the name list (Excel), and place the order according to the quantity tier. After ordering, you upload your design and approve the print proof; production starts after approval. For high quantities and custom production, you can request a quote.

Ordering staff, student, member or customer cards in bulk is more like a small project than a one-off purchase. The steps below help your order go smoothly.

1. Decide on the card type

If the card will be scanned by a reader, find out your reader's frequency and card type (compatibility guide). If it will not be scanned, a chipless PVC card is enough. For a link to be read by phone, choose an NFC card.

2. Prepare the design and the data

• Prepare the design at card size, with bleed and a safe area (PVC card printing guide).
• Collect the information that changes on each card (full name, employee no., photo) in a single Excel list; name the photo files so that they match the names in the list.
• If you will use different designs for different departments, add each design as a separate cart line.

3. Quantity and price

Prices are tiered by quantity; the unit price falls as the quantity increases. Quantities of different designs in the same product family are counted together for the tier calculation. For high quantities, custom production or dealer prices, you can request a quote, and for regular purchases you can submit a dealer application.

4. Approval and production

After ordering, you upload your design and your list; the print proof is presented for your approval and production starts after approval. Checking the spelling of names and the photo matches at the proof stage prevents misprints.

5. Accessories

You can order printed lanyards in the same design language together with the cards. For ready-made sets that include both the card and the lanyard, see the card and lanyard sets.
