3M Payment Components

CPI has partnered with 3M to help you distinguish your cards and your cardholders with Payment Components Business (PCB) technologies. With advanced materials and technologies from 3M, your card becomes the card everyone wants to use. 

Non-Metallic Foil

The non-metallic foils incorporate a first of its kind technology that gives all colors a metallic, mirror finish that changes color when held at an angle. The technology contains no metal layer, so it offers a foil look and is safe to use in contactless cards. Cards can accept traditional 4-color printing in addition to a wide range of translucent inks, opening up a new world of design and marketing possibilities. 

Clear Card Technology

You can create fully transparent designs that make yours cards and customers stand out. As the first and only entirely transparent card, proprietary optical film blocks infrared light. This technology allows your cards to be stylishly different, while providing full functionality in ATMs, POS scanners and other LED-related devices.
