4.5 Working with Card Manufacturers

If your card programme requires printing of physical cards, you can use one of our many pre-integrated card manufacturers in the region where you are issuing cards.

For a list of currently supported card manufacturers, see the Web Services Guide: Card Manufacturers.
If your preferred card manufacturer Company that prints newly issued physical cards and sends to cardholders. is not on this list, please contact your Thredd Implementation Manager to discuss.

For details of the steps required in setting up your printed cards with your card manufacturer, see the Getting Started Guide: Stages in a Project.

4.5.1 Instructions for Card Manufacturers

Thredd provides an XML file interface which allows card manufacturers to accept card generation files from Thredd. Card files are sent on a daily basis, or at a frequency that can be customised for your service. The card manufacturer prints the cards and sends these to the cardholder or to the requested delivery address. For details, see the Thredd Card Generation Interface Specification.
