“We’ve used NU:eCard on many occasions and find that it prints very well, laminates very well in fact performs just the same way as PVC does, if not better. We are delighted to work with Nuco International in the development of the product”

“The Allpay client list contains many high profile banking and security organisations who have expressed in the past a desire to move away from PVC based card products”

Marshall Haldane - Card Services Director - Allpay Ltd

95% of Plastic Cards are made from PVC

And the industry has tried for decades to find an alternative but failed…
