CPI also received top honors in the Best Secure Payment Card category for the BMW Card, created in collaboration with US Bank and BMW Financial Services NA, LLC. The BMW Card was designed to evoke the same emotion, performance and premium quality that has defined the BMW brand for decades. Printed on a blue core, the card prominently features the iconic BMW Roundel in full color, while a layer of spot varnish and raised digital-metal ink punctuates the company brand on the card surface. Through CPI’s innovative print technique, the BMW Card brings a tactile, physical quality to the Roundel and an elevated look overall – eliciting the excitement, performance and sophistication that is emulative of BMW itself. Additionally, the Company was named a finalist in the same category for its work with Barclays and RCI, the world’s largest vacation exchange company, in developing the RCI Ocean EMV® Card. The card, which features an aerial beach photograph, brings the shimmering surf to life, creating an undulating, almost holographic look that appears to move in three dimensions.
This year, the Élan Awards also introduced Best Secure Metal Payments Cards as a new award category. CPI was named the winner in the category in its inaugural year, for the PSCU Corporate Card, created in collaboration with PSCU, the nation’s premier payments credit union service organization.
