Datacard

Secure ID and Card Personalization Solutions

Datacard Group is a driving force in virtually every major card program around the world. Our secure ID and card personalization solutions are used to issue millions of financial cards and identification documents each day.

More than 30 years ago, we made mass issuance of credit cards economical when we invented systems for high-volume plastic card personalization — forever changing the way consumers conduct transactions. Today, Datacard® high-volume card issuance solutions outsell all other brands combined. Datacard Group built on this heritage to redefine secure identity technology. We introduced our first digital photo ID systems more than a decade ago. Since then, corporations, governments and other security-minded organizations have made Datacard® the world's most popular brand of secure ID solutions.

From our strong leadership position in secure ID and card personalization, we see that the best is yet to come — as we continue to make cards, identification documents and personalized mailings more powerful by capitalizing on smart cards, biometrics, laser engraving and other advanced technologies.

Central Issuance Systems

Datacard® systems, software and services are standard elements in most high-volume card issuance programs. For customers who serve established economies, we provide advanced card issuance systems and productivity solutions that set industry standards for throughput, quality and cost-per-card. New inline card printing capabilities rival the quality of traditional lithograpy. For customers serving emerging markets, we offer value-priced solutions that leverage proven technologies from our most advanced systems. Datacard Group also offers complete solutions for personalization and post-issuance management of single- and multi-application smart cards — including special solution bundles for banks implementing EMV™-based (Europay-MasterCard-Visa) programs.

Card Delivery and Fulfillment Systems

Our inline and stand-alone card delivery and fulfillment solutions provide card issuers with powerful solutions for one-to-one marketing, cost reduction and efficiency gains. Our systems can print highly personalized messages for each cardholder on a form, then affix cards, assemble mailing components, insert them into envelopes and meter them automatically. New print finishing systems also allow you to create, attach and package gift cards, telecom cards and other consumer deliverables in a productive and modular inline operation.
