Card Technology Services (CTS) manufactures plastic cards in South Africa and has served customers since 1989. We supply custom printed cards, RFID smart cards, desktop ID card printers and consumables, helping organisations plan both card production and ongoing personalisation.
Manufactured locally. Built around your application.
From our facility in Isando, Gauteng, we produce cards for businesses, educational institutions, government departments and public transport operators. Our in-house capabilities include printing, lamination, card punching and security finishes, giving us control over the production process from artwork to finished card.
We help you choose the card construction, printing method and security features that suit its intended use. Whether you need staff identification, a membership programme or transport ticketing cards, the starting point is the same: understanding how the card will be issued, used and replaced.
Cards, printers and supplies that work together
Our range brings card manufacturing and desktop personalisation together. We can supply preprinted cards carrying your common artwork and branding, while your team adds names, photographs and other cardholder details on site.
- Plastic card manufacturing — custom printed cards, plain cards and security options for institutional and commercial use.
- CIPURSE and public transport cards — locally manufactured cards and programming to SANRAL specifications.
- ID card printers and consumables — explore printer brands, ribbons and cleaning supplies for ongoing card issuance.
Practical support from planning to repeat orders
Our team helps you assess artwork, card quantities, printer compatibility and consumables before you place an order. We discuss production requirements and delivery expectations with you, so you can plan a new project or maintain an established card programme.
For bulk supply, dealer enquiries or recurring requirements, speak to us about your expected volumes and specifications. Clear communication and consistent supply are central to the long-term relationships we build with our customers.
Responsible production
We use solar energy as part of our production power supply and work to reduce waste through recycling and the repurposing of production materials and returned cards. Read more about our environmental approach.
