Scope of work

What the work includes

We shape every project around your goal. Choose a topic to see what it covers.

The membership programme and the physical card

Producing a card and running a loyalty programme are separate tasks. If a system connection is needed, its requirements are checked first.

  • Membership and VIP levels
  • Numbers, variable details and QR codes
  • Material, finish and agreed artwork

Member details and required functions

Define how the card is identified: a number, QR, barcode or another agreed feature. Levels and benefits belong to the programme rules. Specify variable data and any system connection before production.

How the work runs

From your choice to the card in your hand

  1. Step 01

    Choose the metal and finish in the configurator, or send your logo and details.

  2. Step 02

    We prepare the design free of charge: you receive the first draft within 24 hours, and we refine it until you approve it.

  3. Step 03

    Engraved or printed metal cards are usually made in 1–2 days; cut-throughs, etching and custom shapes take about 10–15 working days.

  4. Step 04

    Every metal card comes in a protective sleeve, with a logo gift box as an option. We deliver worldwide.

Questions and answers

Does the card include loyalty software?

Not automatically. The physical card, digital profile and programme system are agreed around the needs of the particular project.

How are price and timing determined?

By material, design, features and quantity. FDS Cards confirms the specification and production terms for your particular order.

Which chips can a card carry?

To the project’s requirements: NTAG213, MIFARE Classic, Ultralight or DESFire, as well as 125 kHz EM4100/T5577. We check compatibility with your access or loyalty system before production.

Can each card have its own name and number?

Yes. Variable data such as names, numbers and codes, plus a QR code or barcode, are prepared for each card from your list.
