A brief overview of each printing method.

Lithography: One of the most common methods use by plastic card printers, this method uses the principle that oil and water don't mix as the basis of the printing process. A metal plate is treated so that the image area attracts oil based inks and the wet non-image areas repeal the oil based inks. In lithography, the printing surface is flat with both image and non-image areas at the same level on the printing plate.
Lithography uses a traditional printing press and traditional plate printing methods; sheets of PVC are printed and then the finished cards are cut from the sheet using a die cut method. The finished product quality can be very tightly controlled and spot color matching is possible.

Screen Printing: One of the oldest forms of printing, screen printing involves forcing ink through a mesh stencil. The stencil openings determine the form and dimensions of the imprint that is produced. Screen printing is often used by plastic card printers for smaller runs.

Dye Sublimation: Another form or printing common with plastic card printers is dye sublimation where the print head of the card printer prints directly onto the card material through the printer ribbon. Many customers like this printing method as it is efficient and inexpensive and well suited for security badges, gift cards, loyalty program cards and more.

From wherever this service you get you must insure that the card should be designed in a professional manner and must perfectly fulfill advertisement needs and share required information.
