Plastic Card Manufacturing
Over 80% of global credit cards, government IDs, driver's licenses, and phone cards pass through Spartanics high-speed optical card counters and punching systems.
Engineering Superiority Since 1963
Our Company
Pioneering Industry Standards
60+ Years of American Engineering Excellence
Founded in 1963 in Rolling Meadows, Illinois (suburban Chicago), Spartanics has engineered, manufactured, and perfected high-precision converting equipment for more than six decades. We specialize in laser die cutting machines, automated card counters, roll-to-roll screen printing lines, and heavy-duty mechanical presses.
While consumers may not see the Spartanics brand directly on retail store shelves, our technology touches products in nearly every household across North America, Europe, Asia, and emerging markets. From pressure-sensitive labels to secure financial cards and membrane switches, Spartanics provides the critical speed and micron-level accuracy that global converters rely on.

Industry Impact
The Unseen Hand Behind Global Industrial Brands
Leading international manufacturers consider Spartanics machinery their proprietary production advantage to increase line yield, reduce waste, and accelerate throughput.
Digital Label Finishing
Tool-free laser die cutting systems configured for high-speed kiss-cutting, intricate contours, and immediate SKU versioning without die spend or plate lead times.
Printed Electronics & RFID
Roll-to-roll screen printing equipment engineered for heavy conductive ink deposits, flexible RFID antennas, electroluminescent panels, and photonics film.
Membrane Switches & Overlays
Micron-accurate registration cutting and optical shearing of polycarbonate, PET, and durable films for appliance graphics and automotive panels.
Proven Capabilities
Engineered for Micron Accuracy & Production Scale
Laser Die Cutting Platforms
Eliminate rotary tooling spend and storage space. Spartanics software-controlled laser systems achieve spot sizes down to 0.004 in (0.1 mm) with optical camera registration, enabling on-the-fly shape changes directly from print vector files.
Automated Stack & Card Counters
The worldwide baseline for secure plastic card production. Accurately verifies counts of up to 500 cards in approximately 5 seconds using multilingual touchscreen control interfaces without scratching or edge abrasion.
Roll-to-Roll Screen Printing Lines
Designed for functional, decorative, and security printing applications requiring precise ink layer thickness, closed-loop web tension, integrated curing, and automated optical registration.
Mechanical Die Cutting & Shears
Heavy-tonnage mechanical presses and M255 optical registration shears engineered for repeat accuracy when processing printed sheets, rigid plastics, automotive decals, and gasket stock.
