2 Cards in Action - Costcutter Local Saver Card When national supermarket chain Costcutter approached Company Cards back in 2008 for our assistance in launching a store loyalty card, we were only too happy to offer our services. With over 1550 stores in the UK Costcutter is one of the countries most established supermarket chains. Therefore it was vital them to have a card solution in place which ensured fast turnaround of the cards, high quality and ease of placing an order. Together we produced an efficient system whereby Company Cards hold the generic card artwork for the Costcutter saver card. When new batches of cards are required the client simply s over the data range for the magnetic stripe and variable barcode, along with the store name. These cards are then produced and proofed via a hard copy sample to Costcutter for sign off before the final production run. Company Cards are a fast and efficient company who always aim to achieve the highest standard of work. We have been dealing with them for a number of years and have always found they provide a high quality service and product with brilliant communication. Costcutter Each batch of cards are produced as and when required, which enables us to digitally print the variable barcode and store details as part of the artwork, protected underneath the laminate layer, ensuring high quality all the way!
