Frequently Asked Questions

What is a plastic combo card?

Our plastic combo card is a single PVC sheet with a standard wallet card and a detachable key tag, joined by perforation lines. Users tear off the small tag for keyring carry while keeping the main card in a wallet.

Can the main card and key tag have the same barcode/QR code and number?

Yes, we print matching serial numbers, barcodes or QR codes on both parts so either one can be scanned to access the same account.

Can the key tag also have its own barcode or NFC chip?

Yes. The detachable key tag can be fitted with its own barcode, QR code, magnetic stripe or NFC chip, so it still works standalone on a keyring for fast scanning.

Is the perforation line easy to tear?

Yes. Precision perforation ensures clean separation without cracking the PVC.

What printing options are available?

Full CMYK colour printing on front and back. You can design unique or coordinated artwork for the main card and tag.

Can I get samples before bulk production?

Yes, samples are available so you can test the tear line, print quality and scan performance.
