IDentiTech has an easy to complete online form that allows you to provide all of the information to be printed on the cards, upload a photo and a logo and order any accessories that may be required. Identitech will then provide you with a quotation and begin on your card design.

So, you have decided that Identitech is going to print your cards, now you have to decide how you would like to manage your orders. There are two options –
