Print your own cards or outsource ID cards?

Design and print cards yourself or outsource the production of ID cards? As a company or organization, creating a safe environment and an own identity for employees is a requirement these days. With an employee card your employees can identify themselves and gain access to a safe environment. Card Supply Nederland likes to help you make the right choice for you on the production of your ID cards.

Our advice depends on the size of your organization, the number of cards you need, what you will use the cards for, how often you need new cards and what your budget is.

Larger organizations or companies

For a large organization with multiple locations, such as a school district, where new school badges are needed every year, it is good to see whether you want to produce the badges yourself, partially yourself or completely outsource them. Do you want your employee card or student card to be multifunctional, so that it can also be used for access control and payment in addition to identification? Then we advise you to look for a card management system, such as CardsOnline.

With the online application CardsOnline, you can log in from multiple locations, design, manage and print cards. Automatically import the needed card data from your source system. Connect your smart card via CardsOnline to facility systems, like your payment system. When outsourcing the card production, you grant a service bureau access to CardsOnline via a secure connection.

Outsource

Outsource the production of your employee or student cards if you do not have the needed staff and/or material to produce a large number of cards. For a high quality card, let Card Supply Nederland take care of the complete print production of your cards.

Produce yourself

It is of course also possible to print the personal data and the photo on a pre-printed card yourself with your own card printer. Your own printer gives you more control over where and when you want to print a card for your cardholder. To print a large amount of double-sided cards, you need a reliable card printer, such as the SC7000 or the Evolis Quantum 2.

Smaller organizations or companies

To design and produce cards yourself, it is not necessary to be a large company with a lot of budget, it is also possible as a smaller company to make ID cards, business cards, access passes, invitations, gift cards or food signs. Take advantage of our card design & print software BadgeMaker and use a smaller card printer with your desktop computer.

Produce yourself

For example, when you need 200 single-sided cards used for identification, choose BadgeMaker Start and an efficient single-sided card printer. It is also possible to make multifunctional access cards with BadgeMaker, to encode your card choose BadgeMaker Pro and a card printer with the encode option.

Outsource

If you need a smaller number of cards only once, it is also possible to outsource this to Card Supply Netherlands, let us print the cards with our retransfer printer. Contact us for more information and quotes.
