FAQs - Recycled Plastic Cards
Are your prices for single or double-sided print?
All of our prices include full colour printing on both sides.
For wooden and cork cards, laser engraving and printing are included in the price as a standard feature. We only charge for one side because we enjoy giving back, and we give the other side away for free.
What are the available finishes for your recycled plastic cards?
Whether you want glossy or matte plastic cards, we have the best options for you:
- High Gloss: accentuates colour and gives depth, making images more vibrant.
- Smooth Matt: a velvety feel that tones down colour to give a modern feel. Best for dark colors such as black.
- Textured Matt+: extremely tactile, pair with spot gloss to give a striking and lasting impression
Are your recycled plastic cards recyclable?
Yes, although only by specialist recycling companies. PVC is classified as No.3 on the plastic recycling code which means our recycled plastic cards cannot be thrown into normal kerbside waste.
We reduce our use of virgin plastic through the reuse of our PVC offcuts and by promoting mindful recycling. Recycled plastic, biodegradable plastic, and compostable plastic cards have to be recycled by specialist recycling companies. They will not breakdown in a landfill or your compost heap.
Only PETG plastic cards without a magnetic stripe or RFID chip are 100% recyclable through all UK kerbside waste programs. We can offer this material, talk to us today.
What card sizes do you offer?
You can choose from three sizes, available in all our materials:
- Original (54mm x 86mm)
- Midi (70mm x 100mm)
- Maxi (90mm x 130mm)
Can I add any special finishes to my recycled plastic cards?
You can add customizable gloss, matt, or metallic accents to your recycled plastic cards to make them even more eye-catching.
