What is at the Core?

When looking for something new, a new computer, a new car, or even a new pair of pants, I am always trying to figure out what it's made from.

Does this computer have dual core processing that will handle the work I need it to run?

Does this car have a sturdy engine that will give me many long happy years without malfunction?

Is this pair of pants made of material that will suit my lifestyle?

I always want to know what is at the core of the product I am purchasing. If it counts what's inside, I want to know about it.

Same is true for a plastic card supplier. We want to know what is at their core. What are they made out of?

So CardsPlus, What are you made out of?

At our core we are a plastic card solutions company. We facilitate the printing of cards or implementation of plastic card systems.

This means:

- We know our stuff. It's our core business! Want to know something about your plastic card application? We can help! Need software to print cards or to implement your cards in real life? We can help!

- We have really great quality. Because we have no 'plan B'- you can be assured that your cards are going to be manufactured with only the best materials and equipment. Cutting corners is cutting out our livelihood- and no one wants a cut up livelihood.

- We can give really good service. Without all the extra goodies to support and supply, we are able to ensure that you receive one on one attention and care. Plus, once the sale is closed and you are thrilled with the card system, we can provide you additional support and assistance.


But does this mean CardsPlus is a small little business?

Hardly! Being focused on our niche has helped us overcome the small business pitfalls and become South Africa's leading Short-Run plastic card manufacturer. With over 4.2 million cards printed in the last 8 months, CardsPlus is well equipped to handle your next order.

At our core, we are a plastic card solutions provider.

At our core, we are committed to serving you!

Help me help my client!

In today's market place, where businesses are slashing budgets and dissolving projects that once seemed very promising, we understand that our re-sellers have a tough job ahead of them.

Communication can be so difficult as a reseller with a manufacturer, can't it? They don't typically seem very interested in ensuring that you have what you need in order to keep your client's happy. Typically, they only seem interested in getting the job done.

Well, CardsPlus isn't the typical manufacturer.

We refuse 'good-enough' and 'oh well, maybe next time'. Instead we strive for excellence, especially in communications with our resellers.

We are continually working on establishing the ideal parameters for retailers- so that you always know what to expect and when to expect it.

It's not just our quick quoting processes, or speedy order processing that we utilise to ensure you have the tools to provide excellent service. There are digital documents available to all our resellers and clients with specialty tips and tricks to ensure your card order flows smoothly in the order process. We have dedicated account managers to ensure that you always know who to talk to when an issue arises.

If you are looking to partner with CardsPlus, we would love to have a chat with you! Schedule an appointment by calling: 086 16 CARDS (22737) or by email: moreinfoplease(at)cardsplus.co.za
