HELPFUL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Questions about the plastic card production process?
Can we start before every card detail is finalised?
Yes. Start with the purpose, quantity, artwork and any system the card must work with. We’ll identify the remaining decisions needed for quotation and approval.
Who manages the project?
PlasticCard.nz remains your point of contact and coordinates the approved job through production, checks, packing and dispatch.
Who approves the artwork and visible content?
The customer or its authorised approver checks the visible content, layout and agreed versions on the final proof before production begins.
Who is responsible for variable data?
The customer supplies accurate, authorised data and approves how names, numbers, photographs or codes are applied.
Who confirms compatibility with POS, lock or access systems?
The responsible system provider confirms the card technology, encoding, data and testing requirements. PlasticCard.nz works from those confirmed details.
When is production timing confirmed?
Timing is confirmed once the card specification, quantity, artwork, data and delivery requirements are clear enough for quotation.
Can changes be made after proof approval?
Changes after approval may affect artwork, production, cost and timing. Raise any change immediately so its impact can be assessed.
