CardLogix works with customers around the world every day and personalizes millions of smart cards every year. Over the past ten years of production and personalization experience with cards, we have developed an extensive portfolio of services and solutions for issuers. CardLogix is unique in the way we help align the individual needs of each customer to the requirements of accurate and timely matching of data and printing.
We realize that many projects are required to be in-country or in—field for immediate card issuance. We supply many of the infrastructure components (printers, couplers and software) from inventory in our webstore to speed your time to market. For complex projects, CardLogix offers consulting services to companies that are interested in bringing in-house, all of the functions of smart card personalization. We can help you in this transition with a managed handover of skills through training.
As part of our smart card mass customization services, we routinely personalize most cards. Our mass smart card customization capability is backed by years of experience. We have developed powerful databases that track all information on card data profiles, collateral matching, Chip IDs, generated card images and the complete card life-cycle history of each personalized card. Our disaster recovery program ensures continuity of service in any circumstance. Our personalization software manages the data and imaging across an array of machine types such as Datacard, Matica, M&Z, Evolis, and Mühlbauer to insure a continuity of service.
