Europe’s largest capacity card manufacturer, Nitecrest, are pleased to announce two new Sales Directors will be joining the Group’s retail, commercial and banking divisions.
Barry Bevan and Kevin Friedrich both join Nitecrest, bringing over 30 years’ worth of combined card production experience. They will work with retailers and card issuing banks in the EMEA region.
Europe’s largest capacity card manufacturer, Nitecrest, have invested over £300k in new machine technology enhancing the company’s special finishes range.
The new machine, claimed to be one of the first in the UK card industry, changes the way special finishes are added to gift and loyalty cards. The new technology alleviates alignment issues when overprinting screen print finishes such as high gloss varnish on logos and text. Commonly plastic card printers experience distortion when laminating sheets which can cause registration issues when applying popular metallic finishes such as gold and silver – Nitecrest’s new high precision printing techniques eliminates the need to guillotine distorted edges by printing directly onto heat laminated sheets, providing market leading, high-quality finishes.
It was an award-winning end to this years UK Gift and Voucher Association Conference as Nitecrest won the UKGCVA’s Got Talent competition.
The industry event, hosted annually, concluded with the popular competition allowing contestants to showcase innovation during a strictly timed three minute pitch.
