Overview

## Student cards for every academic year

Every academic year, hundreds or thousands of student cards to produce. Printags absorbs production peaks and delivers each individualised card directly to the institution or student.

Photo, name, programme, student number, library barcode, QR code — all data is customisable. NFC encoding provides access to the library, cafeteria and transport.

Individual photo

Each student's ID photo dynamically integrated on the card.

Variable data

Name, programme, student number, year, barcode — fully customisable.

Multi-purpose NFC

Library, cafeteria, transport, printers — one single card.

Back-to-school peaks

Our network absorbs back-to-school volumes with no additional delay.

Batch delivery

Batch delivery to the institution or individually to each student.
