Working with our creative specialists starts with a detailed briefing to understand campaigns, brand guidelines, and security needs. We then provide proofs and prototypes that help stakeholders approve specifications before committing to large runs.

Prototyping accelerates decision-making and reduces rework, offering a tangible sample of the final product so design choices and functional requirements align with expectations and operational demands.

Encoding and testing are performed with calibrated equipment and documented procedures to guarantee compatibility with existing access systems. Each batch undergoes sampling and functional tests to detect defects before shipping.
