Card Innovations


Placard’s Research and Development team regularly meets to look at ways to enhance not only card features but also pack alternatives. The team is made up of our Art Director, Engineering Manager, Print Manager and Operational & Production staff to ensure Placard is able to offer our customers a variety of cards and packs with that unique point of difference.

The Placard R & D team have introduced a variety of techniques to Placard’s core operations. These developments have seen Placard win the prestigious ICMA Expo Badge Competition Award, with a special multi Dimensional Substrate.

Some of Placard’s major card innovations include:

  • Environmentally friendly card products (Biodegradable & Recycled cards)
  • 3D & Lenticular cards
  • Foil base & stamp cards
  • Pearlescent treatments
  • Gloss and Matt Varnishes
  • Glow Edge cards
  • Alternate Shaped cards
  • Custom made products

Any new ideas are always welcomed to be discussed to see if we can make it happen.
