It’s that time of the year; the chill is in the air. Winter is near. If you haven’t already, it’s time to get started on revamping your ski-passes for the 2021-2022 ski season.
Issuing colorful, high-quality ski passes is a great way to reward your loyal skiers and riders while speeding up lift lines. They deserve it, that’s why most resorts now offer high-quality photo ID cards to those that hit the slopes regularly. Another benefit to well-designed photo ID ski-passes is they prevent cardholders from sharing their passes with others.
Professional looking photo ID cards for season passes also help enhance customer loyalty further. By using the ski passes to extend ski resort branding, make your IDs distinctive and memorable. If the cards are seen around town, new riders will be drawn to your resort. Pair your ski passes with our Black Ski/Sport Pass Badge Reel and have ski passes displayed in style!

• Issue professional-looking ID cards to season pass holders and frequent riders

Cargo delays, supply shortages, and production disruption have officially hit the identification market.
 
What does this mean for you?
 
Many manufacturers are reporting delays and shortages in ID card printers, replacement parts, ribbons, cleaning kits and PVC cards and delays in proximity and smart card production. Some desktop printer models are delayed for as much as four months from the time of this post. If you are preparing for an upgrade to your desktop printer solution, please reach out as soon as possible to lock in your request at the front of our order queue. It is strongly encouraged to get your orders in now. Demand is steadily increasing in this industry in conjunction with supply shortages and production disruption.
 
At this time, most of our badge accessories are available and well stocked throughout our distribution channels. However, it is still recommended to order before your stock runs low and/or consider substitutions for your requested items.
 
Card Tech does have a large selection of items already on order, stocked and available through our distribution channels in planning for such shortages. With shortages and increased demand, it is expected associated cost will increase. 
 
Plan ahead, request a quote on items which will lock in your price for 30 days or place your order now, ahead of price increases.
 
Our goal is to lessen the ongoing effects of these shortages for our valued customers. Our customers mean EVERYTHING to us!
