Do you print cards for organizations that are not libraries?
Yes. Although our card printing operation is collateral to our library automation support services, we do also print cards for other types of organizations and businesses.
Note that we operate on a very low profit margin. Therefore we nearly always request approval of a proof card before doing a print job and we expect you to take responsibility for the result which you have approved of (as long as there is no error on our part).

I am interested in purchasing cards for our club and I was wondering if the card could have a hole so that the members could wear the card around their neck.
Yes. We can punch holes in the cards after printing them for an additional charge (depending on quantity). Contact us for quote on this.

What is the estimated wait time from time of order?
After we receive your artwork and printing info (and payment) we usually email you a scanned image of a proof of the card within one or two business days. After we receive your approval, it usually takes another one or two business days to run off the order and ship it to you.

Can I get mini keychain business cards made without barcode.
Sure. We can print image and/or text on both sides as you wish (B &W). If both sides are monochrome there is no issue. If one side is color and the image on the reverse side is B & W then we would charge our regular B & W card printing charges. However, if you need both sides in color then there would be extra charges.

Can you print full bleed?
If, by full bleed, you mean can we print from one edge
of the card to another edge, the answer is "yes".

What is your return policy regarding library cards?
There's not much we can do with cards that have
already been printed. However if there is an error on
the cards (which is our fault) we will, of course,
re-do those cards. Please be careful to check your spelling when submitting your order. We cannot be responsible for spelling errors which are not our own.

As far as what barcode standard to use, I need some guidance.
Code39 (which is our default symbology) is an all purpose symbology which should work with whatever program you are
scanning into (unless that program has some special
requirements). Almost any barcode scanning device
will scan it. The question is what software you are
using to work with the data after it has been scanned.
Also - apart from the symbology - you may have need
for certain numbers or characters. For example the
barcode field in your software may be 8 characters in
length. Then you would want a number such as
"00000101". Some people want a letter in front, eg,
"W0000101" so that the software gives an error message
if there is no "W" (so that an Office Depot or Staples
customer card isn't inadvertantly scanned into your
system). Your system may also require a checksum digit. All of these considerations depend on the
software you are using.
