Be cautious of sites offering "next day delivery." As our cards are bespoke, custom-printed items, a 24-hour turnaround including payment and postal services is not realistic.
Because the postal system can be slow and unreliable, we cannot guarantee delivery by a specific date. For this reason, we advise customers not to order for a special occasion or deadline, as final delivery times are outside of our control.

If you submit a photo that our system flags as very low quality, we may contact you to request a better one. To avoid delays, please follow our photo guidelines and submit a clear, well-lit picture.
Customer Errors (e.g., Typos, Wrong Photo)

To prevent this, we have a two-step verification process:
1. Live Preview: You will see a preview of your card before you finalize your order. Please double-check all names, dates, and photos for accuracy.

We use a state-of-the-art UV DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing process to ensure the highest quality for every card.
Preparation: Your custom details, photo, and signature are digitally integrated with our original card design. We start with a durable, high-quality PVC or Polycarbonate card base.
UV DTF Printing: Your complete card design is printed in stunning high resolution onto a special transfer film using vibrant, UV-cured inks.
Application: This film is then permanently bonded to the card surface, creating a flawless, edge-to-edge image that is sharp, vivid, and exceptionally durable. This advanced method often produces a unique tactile feel with slightly raised elements.
Finishing: Finally, a hard-wearing overlaminate is applied. On our premium designs, this layer includes visually impressive holographic patterns for an enhanced look.
Our total investment in design, equipment, and processes exceeds £250,000, ensuring you receive a top-quality novelty product every time.
Our cards are created using professional printing techniques to produce a high-quality, impressive novelty item. Depending on the design, features may include:

Holographic Overlays: Visually impressive, multi-layered holographic patterns that enhance the card's aesthetic appeal.
Realistic Prop Elements: Many cards include elements like barcodes, QR codes, and magnetic stripes to look authentic for film or prop use. The barcodes and QR codes are scannable with smartphone apps.
Premium Card Stock: We use durable PVC or Polycarbonate materials for a solid, high-quality feel.
Advanced Printing: Our UV DTF process creates a vibrant, durable finish, often with slightly raised text elements for a unique tactile feel.

Both of these premium features are included as standard on all cards at no extra cost.
