Little thing I did

So I have recently been searching for SCP CB keycards on the internet, I found a lot of good options but unfortunately they didn't ship to Croatia.

I was pretty disappointed because I thought it would be pretty fun to have a keycard prop in my wallet (since I like putting cool stuff in my wallet for some reason ;_;), so I got an idea.

What if I designed my own keycard exactly how I wanted it?

So I booted up my Illustrator and made a front and back design.

The problem was printing it, unfortunately, PVC cards (ID, credit cards) are pretty expensive to print out since the print stores usually print them in batches of 50 and more so it ended up costing me 25€ for 1 keycard (50 of them for example would cost 80€).

If you want to get one for yourself, call your local print store first and ask for prices, or if they even print PVC cards. If you don't have design software or don't know how to design on vector software, it would be a pleasure for me to design other keycards (LVL 1, 2, 3, 4, and OMNI) and post PDF download links for them (although I don't know if I can post that here tbh).

When designing the keycard i made a 86mm X 54mm artboard and added 3mm bleed for printing (I'm not sure if you need bleed but better safe than sorry ig...). The SCP font I used is Bauhaus Demi, the other font I used for numbers and the bottom part is Acumin Variable Concept. (Of course, don't forget to use use CMYK, not RGB)

If you want me to share the PDF files I gave to the print shop I would be happy to do so, don't know how to do that safely so if you're thinking of doing the same thing I did feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
