- Help you comply with distribution and mail fulfilment requirements
- Keep the Z-CARD®s closed during transportation and handling
Flow Wrapping
We can flow wrap all of our Z-CARD®s using various substrates from normal flow wrap film to food grade packaging. Flow wrapped Z-CARD®s are ideal for inserting into magazines and for distributing in or on pack, delivering your message directly alongside your product.
Benefits include:

RFID
We can add an RFID cover to your Z-CARD®, to provide a combined ticketing and information solution.
RFID technology uses radio waves to exchange data between a reader and a slim electronic tag, which can be contained within a Z-CARD®.
This is ideal for events or transport companies that want to deliver an all-in-one compact, portable solution combining a ticket and user information.
Benefits include:

QR Codes
We can help you to bridge the gap between print and digital by incorporating a QR code into your Z-CARD® artwork and tracking its success.
QR codes are 2D barcodes that can be scanned using smartphones. The phone translates the code into a web address, directing the customer to the chosen mobile site. QR code scans are easy to measure, allowing businesses to track customer interaction and assess effectiveness.
Features include:
- Measurable interaction
- Colour options to reflect branding
- Links to online content such as videos, e-business cards, or mobile sites
- Report packages available

- Engage a younger target audience
- Encourage higher levels of brand engagement
- Create additional impact for your campaign
Augmented Reality can be applied to any Z-CARD® format, leading the user to an online experience that can deliver high levels of engagement, interaction and ROI.
Using Augmented Reality and a web camera, a printed picture on the Z-CARD® is transformed into a 3D or moving image on-screen.
