Business cards are ubiquitous but there always room for improvement – Company Cards discuss plastic business cards.

Every business needs them and every professional carries a handful with them at all times – company business cards!

Regardless of the type of business or organisation that you are involved in, you will have a need for a business card. Take a moment to think about what your business card says about your company? Usually this is the first piece of branded material which you hand over to a new contact, does it give them the impression that you want it to?

Plastic business cards are becoming more and more popular. The quality of material and resemblance to a plastic credit card gives the card a sense of value. At Company Cards we supply a number of plastic business cards options in various weights and finishes – from a full colour standard glossy plastic card to a silk-finish frosted plastic business card. With a plastic card, you can guarantee durability and quality.

Naturally at Company Cards we have been using plastic for our own business cards since the company began and the feedback we receive when presenting our plastic business cards is always positive.

Over the years we have incorporated other features on to our business cards including an annual calendar printed on the reverse, a list of products and services which we provide and a profile photograph. Recently we all really embarrassed ourselves by having one of our own baby photographs printed on our cards (glad we don’t do that anymore)! Although some of these ideas are a little quirky, they invariably prompt a reaction when you hand them over. This is invaluable for occasions such as trade fairs when your new contacts will meet new people and exchange business cards with many times during the day.

Our plastic business cards can also be produced with a Braille option, QR code which links to your company website or can even be cut to a bespoke shape.

Plastic ID cards can incorporate extra benefits such as Braille for the blind and partially sighted – Company Cards takes a look at how they can help.

Since investing in the technology to offer a Braille option with our plastic cards several years ago, here at Company Cards we have seen more and more organisations now incorporating Braille on to our plastic cards, particularly plastic id cards.

Braille is a writing system used by the blind and the visually impaired which was created by Louis Braille in 1824. It can be found in books and, more commonly in the modern world, on signs, menus, elevator buttons; indeed anywhere that public information is shared. It has proven to be an invaluable tool of learning and communication for the blind and a key factor in equal opportunities.

Braille characters are small rectangular blocks called cells that contain tiny palpable bumps called raised dots. The number and arrangement of these dots distinguish one character from another.

Company Cards began to offer Braille services several years ago after a surge of companies requested this as a feature on plastic cards. We found that a number of organisations which require representatives to visit people within their homes were seeking to incorporate Braille on their plastic id cards; in this way, when making home visits, they could confirm their identify to reassure those that they are visiting of their authenticity.

Other Braille incorporating plastic cards that Company Cards have produced include plastic information cards and plastic business cards. If you have a requirement for Braille or plastic id cards, please contact our sales team on 01744 815475 to discuss further.
