Standard Plastic Card Order
Dieline / Template
Dielines are used to assist graphic designers prepare artwork for any print jobs that require die cutting. Dielines aren’t printed, and should be placed on a separate layer in the design file. They’re mainly used to assist designers setting up the artwork and placement of design elements.
If you’re after something other than a standard credit card size plastic card, then check out our library of different plastic card templates available. Or talk to us about creating a custom shape plastic card for your next project.
Bleed
Bleed refers to the artwork that extends beyond the finished size (or trim). If there are elements in your design that you want to be printed at the edge of your plastic card, then the element should be extended past the trim line and into the bleed area. For most our plastic and paper printing products, we suggest a 3mm bleed.
Type
Our plastic card order allows you to choose between 3 types of plastic cards: gloss, matt and frosted. Please contact us for orders and pricing for other plastic card types (including recycled, black core and more).

There is no minimum order QTY, however the price per card is more cost effective the higher the QTY you print. We suggest starting from 100pc.
Yes, you sure can. Please let our team know at quoting stage and we can include this in your quote. It is usually more cost effective to print multiple kinds together than ordering separately.
We work with a variety of Point of Sale (POS) software solutions. We recommend to reach our to your POS supplier to see what tracking method will work best with your system.
Yes! We have 2 eco-friendly options available.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Recycled plastic is made of 100% recycled material. This process is to use the excess waste that is left over when creating standard PVC cards. These cards cannot be recycled in standard kerbside recycling bins.
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is one of the most environmentally friendly raw plastic materials. It’s used in beverage bottles and takeaway food containers and features a “1” on the packaging. PET cards can be recycled in standard kerbside recycling bins without creating any harmful gases.
Both options exhibit the same characteristics as PVC plastic cards when printed.
We have 5 options for Gift Card tracking:
- Barcode (random or sequential)
- Numbering (random or sequential)
- Writing Panel for a hand-written code
- QR Code
- Magnetic Strip
For random non sequential barcode/numbering, we require these numbers to be supplied in an Excel spreadsheet.
Still unsure? We recommend you speak with your Point of Sale (POS) supplier first to see which method will best work with your system.
Only for small runs of standard Gloss Cards 100pcs or under, otherwise it is the same cost to print 1 or 2 sides!
If we are designing artwork for you, we require your logo as a vector file (.ai, .eps or high-res PDF file).
If you have a .jpeg or .png, we are very limited with the design, sometimes these can be used however we would to have our design team check for you. Alternatively, we can re-create your logo and supply the raw-files for future use. An additional design fee will apply.
Standard Plastic Card delivery is approximately 12 to 14 working days from artwork proof approval and payment. Urgent 8 to 10 working day turnaround is available and incurs a $145.00+GST priority fee.
