All the answers ...
      to the questions you're contemplating

The DataCard is the ideal tool to enhance traditional 2-D (paper) promotions but what about ...

* What are they?
* How much do they cost?
* What about these labels?
* Do DataCards need to be protected in jewel cases?
* What about DataCard's quality control?
* Can others copy my software or copyright material?
* You want to do it yourself?
* Do you offer full-service?
* Other questions?

 

What are they?

* Physically, a DataCard is a thin, transparent piece of plastic with a media coating about the center.

* DataCards are recordable CDs (CD-Rs) which operate in the center of your CD tray (or fit on a CD spindle).

* A DataCard's capacity is 50.87Mb. Some of this capacity is required for the Autorun.inf file and any viewers required for the data content.
 

How much do they cost (xGST)?

 

For what?

* As noted on the Sales Page, all content development work is done at a flat $50/hr rate

* Labels are $30 for the simple design and $50 for photo quality

* Production rates (including printing and adhering labels and inserting the completed DataCards into sleeves) are based on quantity ordered and range from $2.50 ea for 9-99 down to $2.10 ea for 1000 or more

* DIY supplies are $47 for a box of 20 blank DataCards and labels are $1 a sheet (9 labels per sheet)
 

What about labels?

* DataCard labels are printed by a colour laser. This is the best technical solution as current inkjet and thermal print technology is not sufficient for photo-quality printing.

* DataCard labels do NOT smudge like injket labels do when touched by rain, wet hands or the inevitable coffee spill.

* DataCard labels stay attached! I've touched one to a CD in the wrong position and destroyed the label attempting to remove it.

* If you're providing your own label design (PSD or JPG, 300 or 600 dpi, CMYK), don't forget to add 2mm outside bleeds and keep print 2mm inside interior borders — and don't forget the spindle hole!
 

Do DataCards need to be protected in jewel cases?

* DataCards are provided in clear plastic sleeves to protect the media surface.

* Unlike the larger full-size (120mm) and mini (80mm) CDs, the sleeve is sufficient to protect the DataCard in the post withOUT the expense of a jewel case OR padded envelope.
 

What about DataCards' quality control?

* DataCards' computers are protected by the latest antivirus programmes (and the virus definition lists are kept up to date). You and your clients are assured of the most virus-free content possible.

* Every DataCard is created in a combined process of COPY and VERIFY to ensure that the content is an exact duplicate of the original.
 

Can others copy my software or copyright material?

* As with any digital file, your content can be copied (duplicated), however ...

* DataCards can add disk copy protection if requested.
 

You want to do it yourself?

For the Do-It-Yourselfer, DataCards offer:

* A small plastic box of 20 blank DataCards with sleeves.

* Blank sheets of labels (9 per sheet) on laser paper (high quality paper able to withstand the high temperatures of laser printing).

* A service of pre-printing laser labels and adhering them to blank DataCards for those DIYers who don't have access to a colour laser printer.

* Please note that DataCards cannot offer "how to" assistance to DIYers.
 

Do you offer full service?

* DataCards utilises the services of Data Koncepts, a professional content developer. The synergy of our team enables us to provide the full range of services from DIY to content (including digital photographs, screensavers, panoramas and label and icon graphic design) development to production.
