Plastic Cardz offers recycled plastic cards!

Recycled Plastic Cards Made from PETG
PETG, or polyethylene terephthalate glycol, is actually derived from polyester and is 100% recyclable and biodegradable without creating harmful gases. Widely used by leading plastic card retailers and credit cards makers, PETG exhibits the same characteristics as PVC and is the perfect material for your recycled business cards or other applications.

In addition to being an eco-friendly card, PETG offers a wide range of innovative, tailor-made specifications – thanks to its co-extrusion processing, high mechanical strength and excellent flex tests. Every design option you choose is guaranteed to look great on this plastic!

Recycled Plastic Cards Made from ABS
Each blank card that you purchase that’s made from ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) plastic will signify your commitment to reducing environmental waste. That’s because ABS is made from recycled plastic and is also completely recyclable. Even more durable than PVC, ABS cards are constructed using the same quality printing and personalization processes used on our standard PVC plastic cards.

As with PETG, ABS cards are compatible with all our custom printed products, as well as our many design options. Contact Chris Howell or Ryan Messmann to learn more or to get an estimate on using either PETG or ABS for your next order of plastic cards.

The trend of the world economy moving toward becoming more interdependent is globalization. Things such as oil, precious metals, & the need for cheap goods made in other countries contribute to the need for business overseas. This is much more accessible since the beginning of the internet, e-mail, & video conferencing, which creates the global village. E-commerce is a major example of this. The U.S. retail e-commerce sales were estimated at $4.2 billion in the 3rd quarter of 2011. Carried to its practical possibilities, that comes out to annual sales of $192.8 billion. An amazing American success story is about Jeffery Bezos. He left Wall Street in 1994 to launch an online book store called Amazon.com. He believed that with the proliferation of the internet, there could be a great deal of business interaction through electronic means. In 2011, Amazon.com reported net sales of $48.07 billion. That being said, electronic business is profitable, but does not take the place of a face-to-face meeting & a handshake when it comes to companies doing business. Both are very relevant in today’s world. Plastic Cardz is striving and thriving with local business in the greater Midwest.

Your business’s image is an important aspect of your company’s success. Your image can considerably influence a potential customer’s decision to use your products or services. Business cards are instruments that work as a first impression for your company. Business cards are one of the most useful ways of boosting a company’s image. Having a fresh, unique business card can help make the crucial difference when a possible customer is choosing between you and your competition.

PLASTIC BUSINESS CARDS

As far as unique business cards go, the payoff produced by plastic business cards is incomparable. Plastic business cards are durable, water resistance, far more alluring, and more dynamic than conventional paper cards. Along with a good design, plastic business cards will have clients holding on to your card, and even sharing it with others. This will give your business a greater probability for inquiries and deals from potential customers.

CLEAR CARDS

One of the best ways to benefit from the effectiveness of a plastic business card is to differentiate from the competition by designing a completely or partially transparent business card. This opens you up to a whole array of design choices not possible with traditional paper cards. Frosted clear cards will impress upon clients that you are a step ahead of the others in printing and communication trends.
