Q. How long will my order take to be completed?

A. Most orders will be printed and shipped within 2 days after receiving your approval.

Q. Do you have foil business cards?

A. Yes we do! We create the highest quality and most realistic foil badges available!

Q. How is my order shipped?

A. All Code 3 Products business card orders are drop shipped from point of production via UPS. UPS does not ship to P.O. Boxes so please enter an actual street address when completing order.

Q. What agencies do you have foil cards for?

A. As of now, LAPD, NYPD, US Secret Service, FBI, Port Hueneme Police, Phoenix Police and San Francisco Police.

Q. What are the standard business card order sizes?

A. As shown on the pricing page, we officer 100, 250, 500, 1000 and up quantities.

Q. What if I want foil business cards for my agency but you don't have them available?

A. Smaller agencies have to cover the initial start-up costs of producing the dies necessary for a quality foil business card. This runs anywhere from $1000 to $3000 depending on number of dies needed, paper type, etc.

Q. Can I have part of my order with a mobile number and part without?

A. Yes but you will have to select a package special to do that.

Q. Do you do letterhead and other types of stationary?

A. Yes. We are a full service design company that has access to the best printing of stationary and specialty items.

Q. Can I write on front of my cards?

A. You can write on the front of the FOIL and RAISED INK cards only. You CAN NOT write on the front of the FULL COLOR cards as they are coated with a special UV finish. You can write on the back of the full color glossy cards.

Q. Can you create a custom logo for our agency or unit?

A. Absolutely! We have experienced and very creative artists and designers in our network that specialize in Police, Fire and Military graphics. We will work with you every step of the way to create an awesome design for your unit.

Q. Does the LAPD require all of that extra information on the cards?

A. Unfortunately yes. The Los Angeles Police Department requires the TDD number on front as well as a recruitment advertisement. On the back there is a short paragraph at the bottom and Date, Time and Inc # on top.

Q. Can I customize or change the layouts that you have for business cards?

A. Of Course! Except for the foil business cards, all layouts and designs are fully customizable.

Q. Can I order my cards without all the LAPD mumbo jumbo?

A. Yes of course! We work for you and will print to your specifications.

Q. Is there any set-up charges or hidden fees that aren't shown on the pricing page?

A. NO! Code 3 Products does not charge any set-up fees unless we agree to it ahead of time. This would only be needed if we are creating custom foil work or other art that is not a standard item that we produce.

Q. Can I get my own badge or shield number on my business card?

A. Yes in most cases. Foil cards are the only card that you cannot get a specialized badge number.

Q. Wait! I want a business card for my wife. She is a hair stylist. Can you do that?

A. Absolutely! Although we specialize in Police, Fire and Military graphics, we have experienced designers that are skilled in all types of occupations. We have millions of pieces of artwork available or we can create a custom piece.

Q. Can I use my own artwork and supply it to you?

A. Yes. We can use any of your artwork that is rightfully yours. We cannot accept copy written art or photos.

Q. Hey!  What happened to the magnets?

A. We had to stop adding the magnets over a year ago.  Now that all of the shipping is done from the point of production, it is near impossible to add a magnet into the box and still have fast turn around times and low prices. If you want magnets, run over to your local Office Depot or similar and purchase adhesive business card magnets.  That is how we did it.  Make as many as you want.  You will still be getting the clear plastic wallets.  Upgrade to the awesome metal laser engraved wallet holder!  These are produced by a Florida copper and he would love the business!  Thanks!

Q. What if you don't have my agency's badge/patch on file?

A. This is the most difficult part of the ordering process. We have many badges and patches in our archives. In fact, we have hundreds! Many we can use for other departments that use the same type of badge. We will change all the lettering and colors if needed. If your agency's badge is unique, the best way is to send your badge to use for photographing. Code 3 Products has specialized digital photographic and lighting equipment to do just that. Our images come out perfect and are the best for your business card. We do this regularly with other departments and having a flat badge makes it even easier! You don't need to go without your duty badge. The process works like this: You "overnight" ship your badge to us via USPS or UPS. We get it the next day and photograph it immediately. Even on weekends! We ship it right back the same day and you would get it back the next day. The whole process usually takes only 3 - 4 days! You will get the absolute best results this way!

Q. I am a police officer or firefighter who is starting our own business. Can Code 3 Products help in creating a logo, business cards and web site?

A. Absolutely! We have done this before for other officers and firefighters that wish to branch out and try the private sector out! We can help you out every step of the way by calling in our specialists in each area: Logo design, typesetting/printing, clothing, web site development and deployment and on-line services!
