2. Programmed printer with key board and screen. Required information is key entered, such as member's name, expiration date and account number.

3. Labels are printed upon command. Programmed data such as name, expiration date or other personalized data (including bar codes) print out on clear film pressure sensitive label.

4. Label is ejected from printer and manually affixed to card within the Instant Issue protective zone. Result is a very durable personalized card, with optional data-matched name and bar codes or encoded magnetic stripe.

5. Now personalized card is ready… ready to be given to member and ready for immediate use, even in automated POS systems. It's that fast; that easy.
