…it´s quality which matters!
For nearly over a decade, Acarta is gaining customer‘s confidence in Germany and
Europe simply with the quality of the products.
We, as a plastic card manufacturing company, are not only giving much effort in the
quality of the product; which for us and our customers is self evidence. We also
understand to communicate openly, to offer fair services to all business partners
and to be flexibile and reliable. These are the main principles in our sense of
business. This goes hand in hand with fair working conditions, economic and social
responsibility for people living and working in our world.
We think quality goes along with the idea of our balanced environment and therefore we offer an environmental friendly product. Our newest development is a card
produced with renewable resources, carbon neutral and biodegradable.
Sustainability is innovation and obligation.

Card Production
Laminated plastic cards
We are producing plastic cards according to the ISO norm 7810 and ensure
consistent attributes for highest demands. The multilayer construction of the
laminated cards ( full or semi transparent, glossy or matt) is causing a high flexural
strength for best bending properties. It protects from abrasion of the printing ink.
We offer you optimal printing methods for every occasion and materials as PVC,
ABS; PC and PET, biomaterials or compound constructions by request and when
required. Of course, we are also offering alternatives to the ISO norm, from highly
thin cards of 0,2 mm to Cards with a thickness of more than 2 mm.

foil stamping or holograms, ID cards with magnetic stripe, contact chip or RFID
chip.

Special sizes
Plastic cards in sizes divergent to the normal credit card size are ideal, when it is
important to you to have an individual product: for unique objectives, special
products and product presentations, events - whatever you have in mind, we
realize the required card. Round hole, long hole, euro hole and even individual
shapes are no problem for us.
Keytags
Keytags or key fobs are cards with one or multiple minicards (up to 6 Keytags) to
break off. The tags can be used as an advertising medium or as a personalised
partner card. We recommend a durable Laser personalisation for many years in
use.

the corners. Many different shapes are possible - and however you can still use a
durable plastic card.

Foil hotstamping and holograms
With a metallic or glossy and coloured foil hotstamping plastic cards appear nobly
and valuably. Especially logos and letterings are often highlighted with special
matt/gloss effects. Holograms could be used as a security feature, but also give
the card a special exclusive style. Acarta offers a lot of standard designs, which
can be individualised. Letterings and logos can be embossed or lasered - a very
economically way of hologram-personalisation.
Extraordinary applications
An UV-check card with an included thermometer brings your sunny vacation to
perfection. Or a suitcase tag with your name on it makes sure that your luggage
won´t get lost. Your customers will surely appreciate it - hence you do.
Special printing inks and varnishes
Besides of design elements (glitter-pigments, metallic, irodine) there are also
perfumed cards or spot varnishes, interference-, IR- and UV-inks (colour effects
depending on the viewing-angle). With 3D-vanishes, surfaces are getting highlighted or special marterials are simulated.

only free as much climate-damaging carbon dioxide as the plant has taken out of
the fresh air before.
