Card Design and Setup
Card design is the name given to the combined features of the printed cards. Cards are useful
only when all cards contain the required information.
Card design includes:
The different types of data such as name and ID number, images including company logo
or employee or other photos, and special features such as bar code or magnetic stripe.
The layout of the data.
Processes to improve card life such as topcoat.
Corporate style guidelines. For example, a corporate style guide can specify a particular
shade of red for the logo.
This section describes the card design components available and provides detailed information
about them.
Hints & Tips
An organization might have more than
one card design. For example, a
health club can use member cards and
employee ID cards.
Print several samples of your card
design and use them to evaluate the
quality of the design.
Use high quality (300dpi) photos and
graphics.
