Have us print and deliver your ID cards, print them on your own printer, or do some of each. The prices for cards we print and for printing your own are published on this page, with what each one includes set out beside it.
What costs nothing Both price tables are further down this page.
Send your orders to us, run your own printer, or do some of each. Pick the plan closest to how you work. Two of the three have published prices, so you can work out your own figure before you talk to anyone.
For organisations with no card printer, or no wish to run one. We print your cards and courier them to you.
For a business or institution that keeps its people in CardOffice and prints on its own card printer, or on one we supply.
For large or multi-site organisations: cards encoded for an access control system, a need to host the platform yourselves, or support terms of your own.
Need the printer as well? We can supply the card printer, ribbons and card stock with the Print your own plan, quoted for your volumes. Or leave the printing to us: the cards are printed at our site and shipped to you.
On the bureau-only plan we print and deliver your cards and there is no platform fee, so this is the price: per card, by the size of the order.
| Cards in the order | Price per card |
|---|---|
| 1 to 24 | $15.00 |
| 25 to 99 | $14.00 |
| 100 to 499 | $13.00 |
| 500 to 999 | $12.50 |
| 1,000 or more | Ask for a quote |
New Zealand dollars, before GST. The whole order takes the price of the band it reaches. Delivery is charged per parcel: $12 by tracked courier, $25 overnight to the main centres, or collect from us at no charge. A rush fee, if you ask for one, is shown on the order form before you submit.
Two working days covers printing and dispatch, and the clock starts when the order is submitted. The courier's one to three days, or overnight, is on top. Orders of 1,000 or more are given a date with their quote.
On the Print your own plan, an order you send us is charged at these prices too. On Enterprise, it is part of your quote.
One subscription covers the platform and every card you print on your own printer. There is no charge per card. The price follows the number of people you manage, not how often you print.
| Active cardholders | Per month | Billed yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 100 | $80 | $960 |
| Up to 250 | $125 | $1,500 |
| Up to 500 | $200 | $2,400 |
| Up to 1,000 | $300 | $3,600 |
| Up to 2,500 | $600 | $7,200 |
| More than 2,500 | Ask for a quote | |
New Zealand dollars, before GST. The subscription is invoiced once a year, in advance, on account. An active cardholder is a person with a live record. People who have left and been made inactive are not counted.
Your band is set on your billing date. Grow past it during the year and nothing changes until the next one.
Fewer than about 70 cards a year? It costs less to have us print them, with no subscription. See the price per card.
Setting up. Do it yourself from the guides in the portal at no charge, or have us do it for a fixed $750: the print agent installed on your PC in a remote session, your first card design built, your first cardholders imported and a test card printed.
Not included: the printer, ribbons and card stock, which we can supply and quote. Encoding cards for an access control system, and connecting a directory or database, are quoted as fixed sums.
The two prices that are the same for everyone are published: the subscription for printing your own cards, by the number of active cardholders, and the price of a card we print and deliver, by the size of the order. An organisation with more than 2,500 cardholders, cards encoded for an access control system, systems to connect or Enterprise terms gets a written quote, because one published figure would be wrong for most of them.
No. On the Print your own plan the subscription covers every card you print on your own printer, including replacements and misprints. You provide the printer, ribbons and card stock, or we can supply them.
As a rule of thumb, below about 70 cards a year it costs less to have us print them, because there is no subscription and no printer to buy. Print your own when a card has to be in somebody's hand the same day, or when you issue cards in volume. You can do both: a Print your own customer can send any order to us at the published card price.
Not if you set it up yourself: the guides in the portal cover importing people, designing the card and installing the print agent. If you would rather we did it, assisted setup is a fixed $750. A bulk record load, directory sync or a database bridge is quoted as a fixed one-off sum and agreed in writing before you commit, not discovered afterwards.
No. Operator accounts are unlimited. Give the front counter, the security office and the enrolment-week casuals their own logins; it does not change the bill.
On the bureau-only plan there is none: you pay for the cards you order. On Print your own, the subscription is the whole fixed cost. Where a quoted agreement includes an annual minimum, it is a figure in your quote, and any shortfall is a single line at the end of the billing year. There is no minimum that is not in writing.
Your band is set once a year, on your billing date, from the number of active cardholders. Growing past it during the year does not trigger a bill and nothing is switched off; the new band applies from the next billing date, and if your numbers have fallen, so does the band. Cards we print for you are charged as you order them.
Yes. A wallet pass has no card stock, no ribbon and no courier, so it costs less than plastic. On the Print your own plan a digital ID is included for every active cardholder, and with a card we print for you on the bureau-only plan it is included too. On its own, with no subscription and no printed card, a digital ID is charged per credential, per year. Plastic can be added later from the same cardholder records, and nothing is re-platformed.
Yes. The order form totals the cards, any rush fee, delivery and GST at your agreed prices before you submit. Nothing is charged until you accept that total, and the price is then fixed for that order.
The free trial is the whole platform with sample people in it, and no card details are taken. If your organisation is outside the published prices, tell us about it and we will quote it in writing.
