emnify can provide customized branding for customers looking to order SIM and eUICC with their own graphical artwork. This is ideal for corporate SIM cards, where additional information can be included on the back of the SIM, while the front can display company branding such as a logo.
emnify can offer several branding options with customized artwork with the cooperation of our SIM/eSIM suppliers.
In order to enable our customers to order branded SIMs, there are a few requirements which are outlined in this article.

PDF or PLASTIC proof
Instead of a high-resolution PDF printing proof, customers can also receive plastic samples to better evaluate the actual rendering of the graphic artwork.
This is because the PDF printing proof, even in hi-res quality, is always slightly different from the actual rendering of the artwork on the plastic of the SIM/eUICC.
In case plastic samples are requested, the total lead time must be increased by two weeks, resulting in a total delivery time of 16 weeks.
Customized QR code
If customers want to include a QR code embedded with the company's information (e.g., website URL) and other required data, this is also possible considering the following conditions:
-
The QR code and its embedded information (e.g., an URL) is the same for all SIM cards or
-
If variable data (e.g., the BIC) is being requested, then a complete product development would be needed with four months for developing and testing, plus production, shipping and delivery. For this development, a Minimum Order Quantity of 50.000 units is needed.
Artwork constraint
The graphical artwork must be compatible with the SIM laser-engraved data (BAR codes, ICCID, PIN, PUK, MSISDN), without obstructing readability.
