Refers to a clear ink that is applied over areas of the card to make those areas stand out.

SCRATCH OFFS

Scratch offs are applied to prevent seeing what is underneath the scratch off, such as a pin number or special code.

SIGNATURE PANELS

This creates an area which allows you to write on the cards with a regular pen.

UV LIGHT INK

This ink is not visible to the human eye, however when put under a black light you will be able to see the UV ink glow on the card.

VARIABLE DATA

This refers to data that changes from card to card, like a name or account number.

Plastek Cards is one of the leading manufacturers of magnetic stripe cards. In addition to magnetic stripe encoding, we also offer a number of other plastic card printing options, including barcodes, die cuts, embossing, foil stamping, scratch offs, variable data, holograms and more.

Note: Some print options or print option combinations are not possible due to card thickness and other factors. Please contact us to verify which print options will work for you.
