Hey guys,

This is an odd question, but does anyone have a plastic card printer? These print on 30 mil PVC cards.

I need one card printed for a trick I'm working on, and all online websites have a minimum of a few hundred. I couldn't find any local businesses that do this, either.

If you're able to help me for a reasonable price, please PM me. I have the card designed in a PSD file with bleed and 300 dpi. I need to print full color on both sides of the card, but extras like a magnetic strip AREN'T needed.

Thanks for your help,

Jeff

This is an old thread that I just discovered.

The issue at hand is easily, and cheaply solved. Design the card and print it with enough bleed (picture going past the final cut edges), on your color printer, aligning the front and back sides on the page. When all of the art and/or wording falls into place, cut out the card to just under the final size, then take it to a print shop such as Staples or Office Depot to have it laminated, similar to a diver's license. Trim to final size as needed.

To have the cards printed, especially on plastic stock such as Teslin, is expensive, unless you are having hundreds or thousands made at once. It is better to go with the cheaper, more labor intensive means described above.

Another option, if having under 100 made is to go to Vistaprint and see if they have a plastic or laminated option. If not, then just have them laminated as you need them.
