CREDIT CARD DESIGN TDHI

The Art of Card Design – From Concept to Production

We design extraordinary cards. We know how to produce them. We connect visionaries with manufacturers.

WHO WE ARE

Your strategic partner in card design and production.

CREDIT CARD DESIGN TDHI is the specialised TDHI GROUP service dedicated to graphic design, technical development and production assistance for credit, debit, loyalty and gift cards, as well as exclusive customised solutions.

Drawing on the combined expertise of the TDHI CREDIT CARD, TDHI PAYMENT SOLUTIONS, TDHI FUTURE and TDHI FINTECH Divisions, we bring together creativity, international market knowledge and technical expertise to deliver a service that goes far beyond traditional graphic design.

Designing a card is easy. Designing a card that is attractive, technically feasible, commercially effective and economically viable requires experience.

This integration of design, production, and commercial strategy sets our approach apart.

We understand the materials, technologies and main stages of industrial production. We work with manufacturing partners and, from the earliest design stage, consider the technical characteristics that can influence the final result and its cost.

Our objective is not simply to deliver a graphic design, but to help create a card that meets the client’s expectations, strengthens their brand, and makes the best use of available resources.

WHAT WE DO

From the first design to the finished card.

We design customised solutions for different categories of cards:

PVC Cards – Functional, innovative and customised designs for payment, loyalty and gift card programmes.
Metal Cards – Premium projects that showcase materials, finishes and exclusive details.
Precious Cards – High-end solutions developed with special materials and specialised manufacturing techniques.
Unique & Special Cards – Original designs and unconventional projects created for distinctive requirements or innovative applications.

We approach every project with three essential factors in mind: visual identity, manufacturing feasibility, and economic viability.

A particularly sophisticated design may require materials, processes and technologies that significantly affect costs. Understanding these aspects from the outset enables better-informed decisions and, where possible, helps avoid costly changes during production.

We do more than draw what the client imagines. We help them understand how to turn that vision into a tangible product.

OUR SERVICES – FIVE MODULES, ONE PHILOSOPHY

Choose only what you need.

One of the defining features of CREDIT CARD DESIGN TDHI is the modular nature of its services.

Not every client has the same requirements. A bank may already have its own manufacturer but need a new design. A startup may require a professional mockup to present its project to a potential partner. An Asian manufacturer may need ongoing support to communicate with European clients.

For this reason, we have structured five specialised services that you can purchase individually or combine into a complete programme, from initial concept through production support.

01 – CARD DESIGN

Eight creative proposals. Different opportunities. An informed choice.

We prepare a professional PDF presentation containing 8 different design proposals, developed to present alternative graphic interpretations of the project.

The client, or their consultant, can review the alternatives and select one or more solutions for further development.

This service lets you assess different creative directions before moving to the next development stages, reducing the risk of investing in a solution that isn't fully defined.

The added value: creativity supported by knowledge of production technologies and costs.

02 – PROFESSIONAL MOCKUP

Do more than show a card. Present your project.

An attractive image is not always enough to convince a bank, a client, a business partner or a potential investor.

Our service includes the preparation of two complementary professional documents:

Graphic Presentation: illustrates the design, colour choices, visual appearance and key details of the card.
Technical & Commercial Presentation: highlights the value of the project, describes the card’s characteristics and explains its distinctive features, from design and materials to its technical structure.

These tools communicate the project’s value and support commercial negotiations and presentations to decision-makers.

The added value: transforming a graphic proposal into a professional communication and business development tool.

03 – DESIGN & PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION FILES

From the approved design to professional production files.

Once the client selects and approves the desired solution, we develop the professional graphic files needed to communicate the project to the manufacturer.

We produce vector artwork in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format, enabling precise detail representation and enlargement without losing vector quality.

Careful file preparation makes it easier to communicate graphic specifications and helps reduce misunderstandings between the designer and manufacturer.

The added value: providing professional artwork that supports the transition from design to industrial production.

04 – POST-DESIGN & PRODUCTION ASSISTANCE

Our work can continue even after the design has been approved.

A well-designed card must be manufactured with equal care.

For this reason, we offer assistance throughout the subsequent production stages, from the first samples through to manufacturing the finished cards.

We work with both the client and the manufacturer to monitor the project’s graphic and technical aspects, assess any differences from the approved design, and help resolve issues that may arise.

This service is particularly important for premium cards, products made with special materials, and projects involving complex manufacturing processes.

The added value: continuity of support between the approved design and the manufactured product, without having to purchase all the other modules.

05 – TIME ZONE, LANGUAGE & INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT

The missing link between European clients and Asian manufacturers.

This is one of the most distinctive and strategic services offered by CREDIT CARD DESIGN TDHI.

Differences in time zones, languages, working practices and specialist expertise can make collaboration between a European bank and an Asian manufacturer particularly complex.

An apparently simple graphic issue may require numerous exchanges, technical clarifications, file revisions and discussions between people working in different time zones.

We provide a dedicated assistance and coordination service that can be organised around the European client’s time zone and language requirements, facilitating communication with international manufacturers.

Our support goes beyond translating messages: it also encompasses understanding and resolving commercial requests, graphic issues and the technical characteristics of the production process. We work for both the buyer and the supplier, providing immediate responses to the manufacturer and prompt solutions to our client.

The added value: a specialised point of contact who understands the client’s operational needs and can facilitate the relationship between those commissioning a card and those manufacturing it, or manage the issue end to end.

While you sleep in Europe or start your day in Asia, we are already at work.

Remember: we are part of the world’s largest remote consultancy group.

EUROPE AND ASIA – A PROFESSIONAL BRIDGE BETWEEN TWO MARKETS

A solution to an international challenge.

Card production frequently involves companies operating in different markets and on different continents.

On one side are European banks, financial institutions, FinTech companies, startups and businesses seeking innovative products, quality and timely assistance.

On the other are Asian manufacturers with industrial capacity, specialised technologies and competitive production facilities.

The issue is not necessarily product quality. Often, it is the operational distance between those commissioning a product and those manufacturing it.

A European designer may be unfamiliar with the machinery and techniques an Asian manufacturer uses. The manufacturer, in turn, may struggle to interpret the client’s commercial, aesthetic and design requirements accurately.

Language differences, time zones, and fragmented communication can slow project development, lead to misunderstandings, and complicate revision management.

OUR SOLUTION

CREDIT CARD DESIGN TDHI – Your European Design & Production Support Partner.

We provide a professional liaison service that integrates graphic design expertise, production knowledge, commercial consultancy and international coordination.

Our aim is to facilitate both parties' work, improve communication quality, and make the production process more efficient.

A service designed not to replace the relationship between client and manufacturer, but to strengthen, simplify and improve it.

FOR EUROPEAN and LATAM BANKS, FINTECH COMPANIES, STARTUPS AND BUSINESSES

Your Card Design specialists, whenever you need them.

Why bear the ongoing cost of a specialised department when you can access the expertise you need only when you need it?

CREDIT CARD DESIGN TDHI provides access to external specialists who work alongside the client’s internal resources on card design and development.

You can request a new design, a commercial presentation, professional vector files, or help dealing with your manufacturer.

You can purchase a single service for a specific requirement or establish an ongoing collaboration programme.

You do not need to entrust us with the entire project to benefit from our experience.

Gain specialist expertise, operational flexibility, and customised services without necessarily establishing a dedicated in-house department.

FOR ASIAN MANUFACTURERS

Your commercial and graphic design point of contact for the European market.

Do you manufacture cards for the European market? We help you stay closer to your clients.

Through cooperation agreements with TDHI INTERNATIONAL or TDHI ITALIA, Asian manufacturers can access dedicated representation, coordination, and European client support services.

CREDIT CARD DESIGN TDHI can assist manufacturers in managing graphic requests, technical clarifications and project-related commercial communications.

European clients thus benefit from support better aligned with their working hours and language needs, while manufacturers can improve coordination of their activities and communications.

A service designed to create value for both parties: better assistance for the client and a more effective commercial relationship for the manufacturer.

MORE THAN A DESIGN SERVICE – A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Creativity, technology and industrial expertise.

What sets CREDIT CARD DESIGN TDHI apart is not merely its ability to create original graphic designs.

It is our ability to combine creative vision, technical knowledge, cost assessment and support across the production chain.

A card may look extraordinary but be too expensive to manufacture. A project may be technically sound yet fail to communicate the brand’s value effectively. A manufacturer may possess excellent technologies but struggle to understand the client’s expectations.

Our work is to help overcome these difficulties by finding the best balance between design, quality, feasibility, and commercial objectives.

Thanks to the multidisciplinary expertise and resources of TDHI GROUP, we can approach each project from a broader perspective than graphic design alone.

We do not simply sell a design. We provide specialist expertise to contribute to your project’s success.

LET’S START WITH YOUR PROJECT

A single service or comprehensive assistance. The choice is yours.

Do you already have an idea? A defined project? A card to produce? A problem with your manufacturer?

Or would you simply like to explore how to improve the design and presentation of your cards?

Tell us what you need.

Together, we will assess which services best suit your project, without asking you to purchase activities you don't need.

You can start with one of the eight designs, request a professional mockup, develop the graphic files for production, or entrust us with coordination and support in your relationship with the manufacturer.

Five modular services. One specialised partner. A solution built around your needs.
