Card Technology
Security and Innovation from a Single Source
Whether credit cards, customer cards, or prepaid cards - maximum security is always the top priority. We have joined forces to achieve this goal and are using state-of-the-art technology to create innovative card designs that impress with data storage, turnkey solutions, and tamper-proof features. Our global presence not only provides international customer service, but also offers support along the entire supply chain. Not least because we have implemented identical quality standards at all our sites.

Green Touch for Magnetic Stripes: NVLine Magnetics®
Environmentally-friendly plastic - a contradiction in terms? We’ve met this challenge and created the environmentally-friendly NVLine Magnetics®, the world’s first magnetic stripe that is applied to a substrate with recycled content. After application, the PET carrier is completely removed and can be recycled. What’s more, we produce our magnetic stripes using a hot stamping process that is particularly energy- and resource-friendly. We strive to continuously develop for a better tomorrow.
Sustainable Finishing for a Positive Environmental Balance
We take our ecological and social responsibility seriously and are always working on reconciling care for the environment with innovative technologies. Compliance with European standards is a matter of course for us. We can also look back on a number of successful developments that strengthen sustainability, starting with the selection of raw materials and ending with environmentally-friendly processes.
- No processing of toxic or carcinogenic substances
- Exclusive use of raw materials whose heavy metal content of cadmium, lead, mercury, and chromium (VI) complies with Directive 94/62/EC (packaging and packaging waste) and 2011/65/EU (RoHS)
- Strict compliance with our Code of Conduct
