Company History

In fact, IntelaCard colleagues have nearly 200 years combined experience in the identification and card personalization market, and our office has been located in the Los Angeles area for over 20 years.

Since February of 2000, IntelaCard has provided superior service and support to over 10,000 users. While the majority of these users joined us when we became an authorized Datacard dealer, many more have become satisfied customers using one or more of the product lines we represent.
