From print to pitch: Supporting the Saints season after season

As the new Rugby League season kicks off, here’s a pass to a partnership we are really proud of.

We have proudly supplied membership cards for St.Helens R.F.C. for the past decade – our home team and a club that knows the value of doing things properly. COYS!

Now, full disclosure… while we back the Saints as a business, there may be a few quiet rival allegiances among the team in the Swype office. We’ll keep names out of it, but let’s just say derby days can get interesting…

Each season, we pre-print full-colour membership cards, ready for the club to personalise later. This gives Saints:

✅ Full control of member data
✅ Flexible distribution
✅ A smooth, stress-free start to the season

In a world where digital passes and mobile wallets are becoming the norm, it’s easy to assume physical cards are on the way out. But the reality tells a different story.

A physical membership card is more than just access – it’s a keepsake. It lives in wallets, gets saved from season to season, and becomes part of the matchday ritual. It feels official. Tangible. Personal.

Digital certainly has its place. But for many supporters, nothing quite replaces holding their club in their hand.

We also support membership renewals with printed mailers, because it’s about more than just producing cards; it’s about supporting the full membership journey.

We’re proud to continue supporting the Saints with membership cards that fans value, season after season.

Here’s to another big year on the pitch.
