Our Story
The family that still picks up the phone.
For over 40 years, Card Imaging has been a family-run leader in ID card printing. We're not just a vendor, we're the people who know exactly which ribbon fits your machine.
More than a reseller
A partner, not a vendor.
Anyone can drop-ship a printer. We repair them on our own bench, program the cards, print the batches, and answer the phone when something goes sideways. Four decades in, that hands-on approach is still what sets us apart.
As an authorized Fargo, Magicard, and Evolis dealer and service center, everything we sell is genuine and factory-backed, matched to your exact use case by people who do this every day.
