Announcing High Quality Quick-Turn Card Manufacturing Programs

INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN – Travel Tags, Inc., a worldwide manufacturer of unique card solutions, announces the debut of their streamlined programs for quick-turn card production. Two programs offer the benefits of quality production and competitive pricing: digital short-run for card orders between 500 and 25,000, and litho short-run for card orders between 25,000 and 75,000.

To print cards through the short-run programs, all that’s needed is a print-ready PDF built to the supplied guidelines. The customer then receives a digital proof and upon approval, the final product will ship within eight to 12 business days.

Standard orders are printed on gloss laminated PVC with the option of a two-track mag stripe. Additional services are available for personalization, packaging and shipping, providing the merchant with many customized possibilities for their gift or loyalty card needs.

“The integration of the short-run programs has expanded our ability to print small quantities of cards while maintaining very competitive prices,” stated Eric Pohl, vice president of sales for Travel Tags. “With our streamlined process the short-run programs are ideal for merchants with a regional store footprint, seasonal promotions, or changeovers that require short turn times.”

For over forty years, Travel Tags has held a passion for improving processes to maximize efficiencies while maintaining a high quality product for a variety of merchants, big and small. They do this by staying current on new technologies, developing applications, investing in new and improved equipment and listening to the needs of their customers. Contact Travel Tags to learn more about the short-run programs and the various printing and fulfillment options they have to offer.

Hotel Room Keys That Double as Gift Cards Are the Next Big Meeting Trend

An easy way to please hotel guests and meeting attendees is to give them free stuff.

But rather than make it notepads or pens that are quickly forgotten, the Sheraton Seattle is giving guests something that makes them happy and energized. Sheraton Hotels & Resorts turned room keys into Starbucks gift cards for the first time this week for its Global General Managers Summit at the Sheraton Seattle. In addition to opening room doors, each card was loaded with $10 to use at five Starbucks locations nearby the hotel. Sheraton is the first Starwood brand to roll out the new card, which suggests meeting attendees at W Hotels and Le Meridien could be next to receive the key card surprise. Although Sheraton partnered with Starbucks, likely because CEO Howard Shultz spoke at the event, the concept gives hotels the opportunity to develop relationships and send customers to local businesses.

The move is also good news for the room key, which some hotels want to get rid of in favor of smartphone apps that allow guests to bypass the front desk.
