Goldpac launches card issuance management platform

Goldpac Datacard Solutions Company Limited is rolling out Integrated Issuance Solution, a new platform designed to streamline card production for issuers and personalisation bureaus. The Hong Kong-based company is pairing the launch with its self-service issuance hardware as it pushes to make card issuance faster, more automated and easier to manage.

Why it matters: - Goldpac’s new Integrated Issuance Solution is aimed at cutting the cost and complexity of card issuance operations. - The platform is designed to help issuers manage ordering, manufacturing, personalisation and delivery in one system. - Goldpac says the move could speed up issuance, reduce mail delays and improve the consumer experience.

What happened: - Goldpac Datacard Solutions Company Limited launched Integrated Issuance Solution, or IIS, in Hong Kong on June 22, 2026. - The company describes IIS as an end-to-end card production management platform for personalisation bureaus and card issuers. - The platform is intended to cover application and order management, manufacturing and delivery. - Goldpac also highlighted its broader payment devices and card solutions business, which spans onboarding, personalisation, issuance systems, self-service kiosks and desktop printers.

The details: - IIS includes card order management, personalisation and profile management, key management, data preparation, device monitoring and digital process control. - Goldpac says the platform can be hosted in-house by issuers and bureaus, rather than relying only on an outsourced service provider model. - The company says IIS is built to manage instant card issuance network points directly and support faster turnaround. - IIS integrates with UMV Goldigital, Goldpac’s customer-facing card ordering platform. - That integration lets banks and other issuers place payment card orders through an ecommerce-style interface. - Order data is synchronized with IIS for real-time status tracking. - Goldpac says the setup reduces back-and-forth correspondence and connects sales documentation for compliance and consistency. - The company has more than 30 years of industry experience. - Goldpac says its card design work has won 53 ICMA Élan Awards. - The company lists design and finishing effects including foil, hot stamping, metal stickers, color core, magnetic ink, engraving, 3D printing, lenticular effects and materials such as mother-of-pearl, wood, art paper, embroidery, fabric, metal and embedded jewels. - Goldpac says it supports fintech capabilities in tokenisation and authentication. - The company says it offers environmentally friendly card materials including recycled PVC, recycled PET, PLA, wood pulp and coffee grounds. - Goldpac says its manufacturing operations carry a 5A Green Factory Certification.

Between the lines: - The launch targets a pain point in EMV issuance: maintaining certifications, security compliance, software and hardware compatibility across a fragmented production chain. - Bringing more of the workflow in-house could appeal to issuers that want tighter control over cards, data and service speed. - Goldpac is also positioning physical cards as a premium branding tool, not just a payment rail. - The hardware push suggests Goldpac wants to compete on both software orchestration and the devices used at branches, kiosks and other issuance points.

What's next: - Goldpac expects IIS to support multi-scenario card issuance management across banks, bureaus and other issuers. - The company is also pushing portable self-service issuance devices for branches, offices and unattended locations. - Goldpac says those devices can shorten application-to-issuance timelines and help drive card adoption. - The company’s PIE001 all-in-one card issuance printer includes a built-in PC, touchscreen and optional modules such as eKYC biometric registration, ID photo capture software, an external embosser and scanning components. - Goldpac’s self-service kiosks are aimed at government, banking, hospitality, retail and medical use cases. - More information is available at Goldpac’s website. - Goldpac also links to its LinkedIn page and YouTube channel.
