The Process

From submission to permanent record.

Every card at CAL passes through the same seven-step workflow. Nothing is rushed, nothing is skipped — regardless of tier.

  1. 01

    Submit

    Book a submission via WhatsApp, email, or in-person drop-off in Dhaka. Every card is logged with photo evidence and chain-of-custody the moment it enters the lab.

  2. 02

    Authenticate

    Multi-point authentication under 30× magnification: print run, foil pattern, back registration, cut geometry and material composition.

  3. 03

    Condition Analysis

    Independent measurement of centering, corners, edges and surface. Every metric is documented and defensible against the CAL-10 scale.

  4. 04

    Photography

    Front and back captured under calibrated lighting in a controlled studio. Macro surface imagery for Premium and Express tiers.

  5. 05

    Encapsulation

    Sealed in a 35pt rigid, UV-filtered archival slab with tamper-evident label. Every slab is inspected for optical clarity before dispatch.

  6. 06

    Quality Check

    Independent QC review. Grade is finalised. Certificate is minted with permanent QR verification.

  7. 07

    Ready & Deliver

    Ready for pickup in Dhaka or nationwide insured courier. Your certificate is live on cal.bd/verify from the moment of dispatch.
