Our Beliefs

We believe you should be able to order cards in any quantity.

Rather than focusing just on big batches, we designed our system to meet your needs on a day-in/day-out basis.  So you can easily order employee ID badges when new employee join your organization.

We believe you deserve straight talk on the tech best suited to your needs.

Whether large or small, your business might benefit from various card technologies. And, since most of us here are techies, we’re excited to bring those to you without a lot of mumbo-jumbo. We pride ourselves on giving unbiased advice as to what you do and do not need. We are constantly developing new APIs, and new uses of standard tech to help you get the most out of your cards. (It’s fun for us and cost-effective for you!)

We believe your satisfaction should be 100% guaranteed.

You are buying the finished product, not the process. The finished product should be perfect.

Our Story

Since 2007, InstantCard has been America’s first 100% cloud-based ID card service

Hearing about all the difficulties companies were having to produce professional ID cards, we realized that there must be a better solution. Emerging cloud-based technologies allowed us to take the hassle out of the process of creating Photo ID cards. The developments since have completely validated our belief that card production via the web is far more efficient than traditional card production using either a local print-shop or in-house printing.

At the core of our business is the desire to eliminate the hassle of producing a single ID card, which is common to businesses of all sizes.

Online card personalization is our ONLY business. For twelve years now, we have been constantly striving to perfect the process. We are totally committed to offering a superior on-demand service to our customers. We have a single-minded focus on providing fast, efficient, low-cost id badge printing services. Our starting point was your biggest “pain-point”: how could we quickly and efficiently deliver to you a single card when a single new employee is hired? Rather than focusing just on big batches, we designed our system to meet your needs on a day-in/day-out basis.

We have produced hundreds of thousands of professional ID cards over the last twelve years. Our thousands of regular customers, from multi-billion dollar corporations to small local businesses, are able to flexibly, cost-effectively meet just about any ID card requirement.

We are particularly well-versed in the use of advanced ID card technologies. We advise clients on how they can best use barcodes and magstripe technologies. But we also help them understand how RFID, smart cards, and QR Codes can help them achieve their organization’s objectives.

We do not sell card printers or systems. So we will never try to sell you a printer system you don’t really need. We can conclusively demonstrate that, except for the largest corporate sites, the low, variable costs of an online service far outweigh the high up-front fixed costs of setting up and running an in-house system. We’ll even help you quantify the cost savings—just ask for us to send you a outsource-or-in-house financial model!

We offer many options to help meet your specific requirements. We have APIs to allow integration with your website or back-office systems. We can drop-ship cards and accessories to individual addresses. We can print cards which allow online verification of training records and qualifications. We can set up web pages with your logo, allowing your members or staff to order cards directly.  We can provide a white-label service to key partners.  Please call us to discuss your unique needs. Together we can determine how we can adapt the service to meet your unique requirements, and help you decide if InstantCard is right for you.
