Before you commit to a card program, hold the product. CUCU Covers offers complimentary samples to decision-makers at banks, credit unions, and transit agencies — people in marketing, product management, or C-suite roles responsible for card customization. Test the covers on your own cards and terminals: feel the thickness, tap it, swipe it, run it through an ATM.
What’s in the sample kit
- Full-cover and clear covers in both chip layouts, so your team sees exactly how the chip stays exposed.
- Print quality up close — the same production line that runs our licensed NBA, DC, and Sanrio programs.
- Packaging examples — digital previews of institution-branded packaging, the unboxing your members would get.
How to request samples
Email wholesale@cucucovers.com with three things:
- Your role and institution (e.g., Director of Marketing at a credit union)
- Your shipping address
- What you’re exploring — member personalization, a campaign, a collectible drop, or full custom issuance
We’ll confirm and ship your kit. Complimentary kits are reserved for institutional decision-makers; if you’re a consumer looking to try a cover, our card skins collection starts at just a few dollars.
What happens after samples
Most teams do three things: pass samples around the marketing table, test on a branch terminal, then reply with questions about rates and rollout. From there we’ll share wholesale pricing, program models (member-funded with no MOQ, or institution-funded campaigns), and — if your project needs it — full custom card issuance options. See how programs ran at Island Federal Credit Union and TransLink.
