Can I copy a card design for another cardholder?

What size are your ID cards, and what are they made from?

We use high-quality Fotodek cards made from white, premium-grade 760 micron PVC plastic. They are the same size as a standard credit card and conform to the ISO/IEC 7813 standard. Each card is 0.76 mm thick, has rounded corners with a radius of 3.18 mm, and measures 85.60 × 53.98 mm (3.370 × 2.125 inches).

How should I clean and care for my ID card?

Your ID card is intended to be seen, so wear it on your upper torso using a breakaway lanyard or clip and a suitable cardholder. Our cards are laminated, but when your card isn’t in use, keep it away from sharp or abrasive objects. Clean it with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. For physical roles or harsher environments, we recommend a fully enclosed cardholder.

Do you deliver outside the UK?

Yes, we do. International orders are sent using a Royal Mail tracked or signed-for service. Please allow up to 7 working days for delivery.

How do I create a professional ID card?

Our Design Help gives you practical advice on creating a professional ID card. If you’d prefer us to prepare the design for you, our Design Help service includes one printed card and instructions showing you how to create more.

Can you print ID cards in full colour?

It is indeed. You can upload full-colour artwork or use the drawing tools in our online card designer to create a coloured background and add your text, logo, photograph and other details.

What are your opening hours?

We’re based in the UK and are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm UK time. We’re closed at weekends and on UK bank holidays.

When will my order arrive?

UK standard delivery normally takes up to 2 working days after dispatch. Priority and guaranteed next-working-day options are also available at checkout.

Will I see a proof before my card is printed?

Yes. We display a proof of your finished ID card in your basket, and you can also find it in My Cards. Please check the name, photograph and other details carefully before placing your order.
