Frequently Asked Questions

How tough are these cards?

Very. Our cards have been rigorously tested for durability with no degradation whatsoever. They're built for a full season of match days, turnstiles, and daily wallet use, and real-world results back that up. FC United of Manchester has used our cards for three consecutive seasons, across 30+ home games per year, with zero complaints about card quality or durability.

Are they actually plastic-free?

Yes, genuinely. Unlike "green plastic" or recycled PVC, our cards are made from FSC-certified Invercote paperboard, sourced from sustainably managed forests and produced at one of the world's most environmentally responsible paper mills. They are fully compostable to EN13432, biodegradable, and recyclable through normal household recycling streams. No specialist processing required. Our environmental credentials are independently verified by Carbon Quota, and we carry the Plastic Free Trust Mark from A Plastic Planet.

What is the minimum order?

Our minimum order is just 1,000 cards, making us accessible to clubs and organisations of any size. We offer an average turnaround of 20 working days on most orders, so whether you're planning ahead or up against it, we'll get you ready for kick-off.

What about the cost?

At around 40p per card, the cost is a rounding error compared to the price of a season ticket. And unlike plastic, our paperboard cards can be up to 40% cheaper than traditional PVC, so switching isn't just better for the planet, it's better for your budget too.

Will our fans notice the difference?

In terms of functionality, no, the cards perform identically to plastic. In terms of what they say about your club, absolutely. A plastic-free season ticket is a tangible signal of shared values. At community and fan-owned clubs, where the relationship between supporter and club is personal, that matters. Saracens Rugby Club found that the switch reinforced their ESG commitments and resonated strongly with their fanbase. When your season ticket holder carries your values in their wallet every day, that's meaningful brand building.

How does this demonstrate our sustainability commitment?

A card every supporter carries in their pocket is more visible than a policy on your website. It's a tangible, daily reminder of your club's environmental commitment, and the numbers back it up. Switching from plastic to paperboard cuts carbon emissions by up to 91% per card. Saracens' 2025/26 season ticket run alone saved 107 kgCO2e. That's something you can report, promote, and be proud of.
