    Hi Chris,

    Now that’s alot of plastic :lol1: , If you need 50,000 cards, you want to be going to Thames Card Technology, there the biggest and the best in the UK. Here’s there web address http://www.thamesgroup.co.uk.

    For amounts around the 10,000 mark you could try http://www.e-printing.co.uk, never used them for plastic cards, only standard business cards, but there prices are good.

    And finally for small amounts up to 5000, just “pm” me 😀

    Hope this helps

    Regards AL

    Hi Chris,

    We have a local company who do a lot of plastic cards including credit cards and phone cards etc and are great for the larger quantities.

    Web address is : http://www.brydiancards.co.uk

    If you contact them tell them speak to Grahem and tell him that Terry from Lasting Impressions recommended them and you want a decent price.

    Cheers

    Have you considered obtaining a Hot-Foil-Printer? They can print to plastic as well as other card types and with an auto card feeder you could print 1000 per hour. Foils are cheap, a 2inch wide roll for cards would cost about £4 for a 400ft. roll. You could print cards as required and also offer this as an add on to your existing business.
    Cheers
