Some cards have photo ID, some with barcodes, some simply signifying a VIP pass to a wine tasting. The calls come from all over the world. Bangkok, the Middle East, Bally's Casino's in Atlantic City, perhaps a local bus company needs transit passes, or government officials in Guadalajara are planning a summit meeting. They call, we create what they want. Our small shop services 2,500 regular clients in Canada, the U.S.A., Mexico and other countries, supplying identification systems, supplies and accessories.
