Explore gift cardsHow we work with corporate teams
From brief to multi-site distribution in four clear steps
1. Brief & access system
We map the programme: employee headcount per site, encoding format (Mifare, HID, DESFire, magnetic stripe), brand guidelines and the rollout calendar.
2. Design & proof
You send your visual identity or we adapt it to all the card formats in scope. A digital proof is approved before production, with two revisions included.
3. Production & QC
European production with centralised quality control and reader testing on encoded batches. Standard PVC cards in 6 to 10 working days, paper business cards in 4 to 6.
4. Multi-site dispatch
Delivery to one HQ or split shipments to multiple offices and countries across Europe. Files kept on file for new joiners, replacements and annual renewals.
Why corporate card programmes matter
An employee card is worn all day, every day
A corporate badge is the most visible piece of branded material the company hands its employees — worn around the neck or clipped to a pocket from the moment they arrive at the office to the moment they leave. It opens doors, identifies the wearer to colleagues and visitors, sits on desks during meetings and travels with the employee to client sites. The way it feels, the way it works at the reader and the way it represents the brand all matter. Lumacards specialises in producing those everyday-worn objects with the consistency multi-site organisations rely on.
Corporate card production across the European union
Corporate teams from SMEs to multinational groups across Europe rely on Lumacards for the production of PVC employee ID cards, NFC and RFID access cards, premium executive business cards, standard team business cards and supporting visitor badge holders and lanyards. From everyday operational ID supports to recognition programmes for top performers, projects are calibrated to the brand, the access system and the headcount per site.
High-volume corporate programmes typically combine photo personalisation, employee data, encoding (Mifare, HID, DESFire, magnetic stripe) and consistent brand finishes (hot foil, spot UV, gloss or matte lamination) across all sites. Production runs through our European partner network with centralised quality control. Indicative lead times are detailed on our delivery times reference; for a sector-specific recommendation, the fastest path is to share your brief through our quote form.
Multi-country corporate rollouts
Card programmes for multi-site and international organisations
When the same company employs people in five offices across three countries, the card programme has to do two things at once: stay perfectly consistent across all sites, and arrive at each office at the right moment. Lumacards supports multi-country corporate organisations with centralised production, split shipments per country, file archiving for fast new-joiner production and a single point of contact for the whole programme.
HQ + branch rollouts
Centralised design and production, with split shipments to HQ and each branch office — same artwork, same finish, tracked per delivery.
New-joiner programmes
Project files kept on file for fast new-joiner production — small follow-up runs (10 to 50 cards) for monthly intakes, without redesign.
Executive premium cards
Premium PVC business cards for C-suite and senior leadership — hot foil stamping, spot UV varnish and rigid presentation card holder available.
Visitor & contractor badges
Reusable PVC visitor badges with lanyard and clip — for client visits, contractors, audit teams and one-off site access.

Corporate FAQ
Frequently asked questions from corporate teams
What is the minimum order quantity for employee ID cards?
PVC employee ID cards typically start from 100 cards. For an SME pilot, smaller runs can be discussed. For multi-country rollouts of several thousand cards, pricing scales favourably.
Which access control systems are your cards compatible with?
We produce cards for the main corporate access standards — HID Prox, Mifare Classic, Mifare DESFire, iCLASS, Legic and magnetic stripe (HiCo / LoCo). Encoding is validated against your reader specifications before dispatch.
How do you handle employee photos and personal data?
Employee photos and personal data are processed under signed confidentiality terms, stored on encrypted servers, used only for card production and either deleted or anonymised after the project. Full details are in our privacy policy.
How long does a corporate card programme take to produce?
Standard PVC employee IDs are produced in 6 to 10 working days, including encoding and quality control. Paper business cards are produced in 4 to 6 working days. Express options are available for urgent rollouts.
Can each card carry the employee's photo, name and role?
Yes. Provide a structured CSV or Excel file with one row per employee (name, role, department, photo reference, encoded data), and we will produce cards with unique variable data perfectly aligned with your directory.
Can you ship cards to multiple offices and countries?
Yes. Multi-site distribution is a frequent use case for corporate organisations. We can ship to a central HR office for batch distribution, or send split shipments directly to each office and country, with tracking per delivery.
Can you produce new-joiner cards monthly without redesign?
Yes. Project files (artwork, encoding parameters, finish specifications) are kept on file. Small follow-up runs for monthly new joiners, internal moves and replacements can be launched as routine reorders.
Do you offer matching badge holders and lanyards in the company colours?
Yes. Badge holders, lanyards (flat, woven, tubular, bamboo) and reels can be produced alongside the cards in matching Pantone colours, with one-colour or full-colour printing.
