1998
From humble beginnings and a dream to bring the best printing solutions to the world, this is when the magic started: The birth of Smart Five.
2002
Since the business’s humble beginnings in 1998, by 2002 Smart Five was printing cards as a bureau and offering pre-printed cards.
2007
By 2007 we’d developed our first website (way back in 2004 – we do love technology!), were exporting our products and services into Africa (Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Botswana) and had held our first public show!
2014
By now we had built our own premises (from which we still operate), were importing our own range of blank cards (since 2012) and had our own show stand.
We also became certified as support on all Datacard products and rolled out our second website to the world.
It was a busy few years!
2018
We move with the times and in 2018 introduced the third variation of our online home to the digital
world and welcomed the introduction of the long-anticipated proprietary Allegiance Program to you (find out more here).
As Smart Five we are in the best possible position to fulfill any card printing solution you might need. Try us.
2050
World domination! We can only imagine, but judging by our past, it’s going to be a hell of a ride. We’re excited for you to be a part of it with us.
