9 WHEN YOU NEED CUTTING EDGE SOLUTIONS ONCE IN A WHILE WE GET A REQUEST THAT IS SO CHALLENGING WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE IT ON. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE. WE USED UNTRIED TECHNIQUES AND HAND FINISHED HUGE VOLUMES. A STUNNING RESULT WE THINK YOU LL AGREE. At Bristol Card Solutions we are excited by new challenges. They give us the opportunity to pull together over 30 years experience and knowledge to create new, unique and innovative solutions. When a company gave us free rein to develop cards for their Diamond Membership scheme, we created new techniques to deliver our vision. The hand finished, luxury, diamond-studded cards we produced exceeded the client s expectations, and further extended the boundaries of possibilities for the plastic card industry.

10 WE VALUE YOUR SAFETY DON T LOSE IT ON THE SLOPES! OUR CARD TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS YOU TO LOAD CURRENCY ONTO CARDS TO BE REDEEMED THROUGH IN-HOUSE EPOS SYSTEMS SO NO NEED TO SCRABBLE AROUND ON THE PISTE FOR LOOSE CHANGE. With identity fraud on the rise, more and more people are using cash cards where they might once have used credit or debit cards. If your card is stolen the perpetrator cannot access your bank account or bank details. In fact the only money they will have access to is whatever is left on the card when they take it, and if you prefer to top up your card every couple of days, this won t be much. As well as security benefits, stored value cards such as these can help with budgeting. There is no fear of overspending as you can only spend what you have on the card. Most banks and some local authorities have set up cash card initiatives, and have found the uptake from customers to be very enthusiastic. It s easy to understand why: this is one simple, but highly effective, step that people can take to protect themselves, their money and their personal information.

25 Freedom to explore By employing different TECHNOLOGIES, Bristol Card Solutions can turn a plastic card into a travel pass, a cash card or even a local government PAYMENT card. More and more local government and transport bodies across the world are wising up to the benefits of travel cards for concessionary or regular travellers; allowing people to travel with ease across the transport network, below and above the ground. Some countries have taken this idea further still by creating one card that can be used both for travel, and to purchase goods in local shops. Whatever your project, by utilising the right technologies, plastic cards can be created for almost any purpose. We recently created a loyalty card for a forward thinking local authority in the UK. Our complete fulfilment service ensured that this, along with six items of peripheral print, was safely mailed to every resident, offering them discounts on local services and attractions, and serving as a parking pass in the city centre. By using techniques such as proximity technology, barcodes and magnetic stripes, one card can have many functions. Multi application cards make it easier for people to get around and access local services in a modern, innovative and hassle-free way. When coupled with good design, these cards can have real customer-appeal, as stylish but functional accessories. CASE STUDY > TRAVEL CARDS
