Digitally Printed Cards for Sunderland University

December 2010

The University of Sunderland is now in it’s second year with Burall InfoSmart and their unique mix of long term and short term courses means they have a regular requirement for staff and student cards rather than just the traditional start of year ‘big-bang’. This means the digital print process is ideally suited for their needs.

Christina Gales, Head of Business Applications for Student and Learning Support at Sunderland University, says "For our 2009/2010 intake of students we reviewed our campus card requirements and decided to move away from production of cards on-site. This led us to engage with Burall after seeing their presentation on Digital Printing of campus cards and they now produce all of our student and staff cards.

"I’m impressed with the ease with which Burall understood our business and technical requirements and the speed with which they respond to our needs. We have been using Burall since August 2009 and we are continuing to receive a flexible and efficient service. I feel this move has provided us with tangible benefits. We have dramatically reduced staff resources required to sort and distribute the cards, eliminated the cost of on-site consumables, enhanced the student experience and improved our green credentials."

The student experience is a strong theme at Sunderland and they beat five other shortlisted universities to the title of the most continued improvement in the student experience in the Times Higher Education (THE) awards for 2010.
