We, as a plastic card manufacturing company, are not only giving much effort in the quality of the product; which for us and our customers is self evidence. We also understand to communicate openly, to offer fair services to all business partners and to be flexibile and reliable. These are the main principles in our sense of business. This goes hand in hand with fair working conditions, economic and social responsibility for people living and working in our world.

We think quality goes along with the idea of our balanced environment and there-fore we offer an environmental friendly product. Our newest development is a card produced with renewable resources, carbon neutral and biodegradable.Sustainability is innovation and obligation.

Laminated plastic cardsWe are producing plastic cards according to the ISO norm 7810 and ensure consistent attributes for highest demands. The multilayer construction of the laminated cards ( full or semi transparent, glossy or matt) is causing a high flexural strength for best bending properties. It protects from abrasion of the printing ink. We offer you optimal printing methods for every occasion and materials as PVC, ABS; PC and PET, biomaterials or compound constructions by request and when required. Of course, we are also offering alternatives to the ISO norm, from highly thin cards of 0,2 mm to Cards with a thickness of more than 2 mm.

Card featuresWe are offering any desired feature such as signature panel, scratch-off areas, hot foil stamping or holograms, ID cards with magnetic stripe, contact chip or RFID chip.

PersonalisationWe can personalise and encode your plastic cards with every availablepersonalisation technology: embossing, thermal printing, DOD-UV-Inkjet or Laser. For every application, we have the most suitable technology.

Special sizesPlastic cards in sizes divergent to the normal credit card size are ideal, when it is important to you to have an individual product: for unique objectives, special products and product presentations, events - whatever you have in mind, we realize the required card. Round hole, long hole, euro hole and even individual shapes are no problem for us.

KeytagsKeytags or key fobs are cards with one or multiple minicards (up to 6 Keytags) to break off. The tags can be used as an advertising medium or as a personalised partner card. We recommend a durable Laser personalisation for many years in use.

Individual contours and special shapesPlastic cards don’t always have to be rectangular and with standardised curves in the corners. Many different shapes are possible - and however you can still use a durable plastic card.

Extraordinary plastic cards and special effects

Foil hotstamping and hologramsWith a metallic or glossy and coloured foil hotstamping plastic cards appear nobly and valuably. Especially logos and letterings are often highlighted with special matt/gloss effects. Holograms could be used as a security feature, but also give the card a special exclusive style. Acarta offers a lot of standard designs, which can be individualised. Letterings and logos can be embossed or lasered - a very economically way of hologram-personalisation.

Extraordinary applicationsAn UV-check card with an included thermometer brings your sunny vacation to perfection. Or a suitcase tag with your name on it makes sure that your luggage won´t get lost. Your customers will surely appreciate it - hence you do.

Special printing inks and varnishesBesides of design elements (glitter-pigments, metallic, irodine) there are also perfumed cards or spot varnishes, interference-, IR- and UV-inks (colour effects depending on the viewing-angle). With 3D-vanishes, surfaces are getting high-lighted or special marterials are simulated.
