Rush plastic card order with issues


plastic cards special offer

We received a rush order late yesterday for some plastic cards. The customer emailed the artwork over and said a usual it is a rush order.

We are very cautious with rush orders because if issues arise there is precious little (if any) time to fix them but we, as always do our best

The customers artwork was not sent to the correct specification. Our studio advised him of this and then proceeded to fix the issues as quickly as possible (exactly what we do not need with a rush order)

We then emailed a photo-realistic proof to the customer for approval.

He received it and approved it.

Today we received the following email – he approved the email proof on his mobile phone!

ARGH!

PLEASE USE A PROPER COMPUTER TO VIEW YOUR PROOFS ON

Hi,

Back home and on proper computer now.

I expect it’s too late in the day to do anything about it, but I just noticed on the proof mock-ups you sent over that the black boarder surrounding the front image and the back images appears larger than on the examples I sent through.

I sent through an example multi-image which showed how the cards should look when cut-out, and then individual “master” images where I had cleaned up the boarder and left a touch more bleed.

I just want to check that you are using the master images, and scaling them down in size to match the example cut-out images.

If it’s too late in the day, then don’t worry and I’ll go with what looks like the slightly wider boarder shown in your mock-ups. BUT, if we do have time then may be you could check this for me. (but if you need to fix slightly, please res-down from master files rather than expand the smaller files you may have created in order to preserve the crispness and clarity of the text and images.)

I hope the above makes sense !

Best wishes,

We are now trying to decide what to do with the order as we don’t want to print it and dispatch it to the customer if they won’t be happy with it.

He doesn’t have time for a postal proof due to his deadline which would ensure all is ok with his cards.

Do we proceed with the order or cancel it and refund the customers money in full?

Do research before buying plastic cards


plastic cards special offer

Before you decide which company to order your plastic cards from with your hard earned money, try searching for them on Google by doing the following:

Type into Google:

their company name review

e.g. cpcards review

or

their website address review

e.g. www.cpcards.co.uk review

or

their website address problem

This way you can see what other people say about the company.

Also try emailing the company with a question and see how quickly they reply.

We at colour plastic cards (cpcards.co.uk) pride ourselves with offering a high quality service combined with high quality plastic cards and cringe when we see other companies ripping off customers.

Please be wary especially if the price is very low – it will be for a reason – no matter what the website ‘promises’

ID cards


plastic cards special offer

Hi

I have been passed your details by one of my colleagues.

I have a request from one of my clients for the following:

· Plastic ID card (driving licence size)

· Between 10 and 20 cards

· Photographic image

· Name

· Position

· Company Logo

Could you kindly let me know if this small quantity is something you can handle, and if you can supply on off id cards on for new staff members, please supply a cost for 10, 20 and one off cards.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Kind regards

Graham Clarke

Unfortunately we were unable to help this customer as we do not produce ID cards as our machinery is for printed the same image multiple times, i.e. minimum of 100.

We could have quoted for 10 or 20 individual cards but the customer would have taken the quote as an insult, especially when they see we can offer 250 full colour plastic cards for just £995 +vat

There is so much work involved to setup and then print just one card then to do the same again with another ID card that we just hold our hands up and admit we cannot offer it.

Plastic cards deadlines


plastic cards special offer

Hello all,

Just a quick message about deadlines, we appreciate that sometimes cards are needed quickly, sometimes very quickly!

We had an enquiry today asking for both frosted plastic cards and satin black plastic cards for Wednesday this week. We said unfortunately this does not give us enough time as we would need to dispatch tomorrow. They came straight back saying Thursday at the very latest, our reply was yes this is achievable.

We experience this situation each and every week, where someone does have a genuine deadline but they take a day off just in case. Which sometimes means we can not meet the deadline we have been presented with!

Anyhow, I will get to the point…..if you have a deadline for an order, please can you provide the actual latest you can receive the cards, we do where ever possible dispatch the order sooner. You could even say, for example, absolute deadline to receive the cards is Friday however Thursday would be preferred (we would also prefer to get them to you sooner if we can).

Am I making sense!?!

Flooding & plastic cards orders


plastic cards special offer

Hello all,

I am glad to say that the adverse weather conditions over the weekend have not affected us and production times for all products (full colour plastic cards, frosted cards, satin black cards all remain the same as usual.

On a separate note, to any of our readers who have been affected by flooding etc, we hope that everything is back to normal for you as soon as possible.

If anyone has any particular queries in relation to time frames e.g. a tight deadline, please email letting us know your full requirements e.g. product, quantity, any optional extras and latest date you can receive them and we will get back to you asap.

Bye for now

Plastic Cards with QR Codes


plastic cards special offer

Hello all,

Just a quick message to let you know that if you require a QR code on your full colour solid plastic cards this does not cost extra. Some companies have been charging more for this but assuming you are supplying print ready artwork with the QR code as part of the artwork there is no extra cost to you.

People often use QR codes to give easy access to a website and are often used on business cards and membership cards.

You can see a little more information on QR codes on our optional extras list here

Any questions just pop us a line.

Beware of card core ‘plastic cards’


plastic cards special offer

Hello All,

It has been brought to my attention that one of our competitors is still offering “plastic cards” with cardboard in the middle known as card core and the advertising is not 100% clear that this product is produced this way.

Just to clarify, we do not produce card core cards, ours are plastic all the way through.

I have attached a photo of a card core card which shows you the poor quality after a relatively short period of time.

Ask yourself this question, would you want to give this card and bad impression out to a customer?

Please let us know if you have any experience of card core cards and what you thought of them and please be careful if you find some apparently low cost plastic cards and double check exactly what you are getting or better still order from us and have peace of mind.

Bye for now.

An unusual plastic card request


plastic cards special offer

Hello all,

We received an unusual email today:

Hello CPcards team,

I’ve on idea about business card but cant find any information if it possible to produce it technically.

The idea is to have plastic card with frozen finish and to have nothing on it , but details of the company appears only after you put the card under water or any other liquid.

Would love to hear from you asap.

We replied straight away, saying that unfortunately this is not something we can help with. Obviously we produce the frosted plastic cards but nothing like the above request.

I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of any unusual requests for business cards / plastic cards?

Bye for now

A polite request


plastic cards special offer

Hi All,

This is a polite request to all Universities, colleges and schools who need plastic cards for the start of term, please please please order asap. The full colour solid plastic cards are very popular at this time of year and I imagine that we may well reach capacity for production in the next week or so.

Each and every year in September we have people coming to us who have been let down by another company, forgot all about ordering them, just decided it would be a good idea etc – does this apply to you?! If so order asap!

Thanks and bye for now
