• Magnetic Stripe - we can provide cards with either Hi-Coercivity (Hi-Co) or Lo-Coercivity (Lo-Co) depending on your needs.
• Hot Foiling - the application of holograms and decorative foils involves the use of a die, heat and pressure.

• Microtext and other security features
• Photo Identification - using digital card printing.
• Ink Jet Printing /Serial Numbering - we can either print a default batch reference number or serial numbering on the card body allowing manufacturing traceability.

Universal Smart Cards has the ability to programme personalised data inside the card memory using our encoding facility. Our standard pricing excludes electrical personalisation, this is available on request.
