Buyer guidance
Approve wood by range, not by one perfect grain
Species, natural variation, sealing and marking method shape the final result. Agree an acceptable tone and grain range with real samples, then validate engraving or colour print and the finished credential in its reader environment. Material documentation is confirmed only for the construction and batch quoted.
Compare natural and recycled card materialsSpecification questions
Before choosing the material.
Will every card look identical?
No. Natural grain and tone vary. We agree an acceptable range using physical samples.
Can wood carry full-colour artwork?
Yes on suitable sealed constructions, but colour response differs from PVC and must be approved on the selected wood.
Is certification automatically included?
No company-wide or range-wide certification claim is made. Any material documentation is quoted and supplied for the selected batch where available.
