Description
Our weight loss surgery restaurant card has grown in popularity and is recognized by many restaurants.
The new and improved Bariatric Patient Restaurant Special Menu Request Card 2.0 is now professionally printed on a durable and waterproof Teslin card.
If you don’t already know what Teslin is, you probably have seen and used it without realizing it. Teslin is an eco-friendly plastic substrate that is used for gift cards at top retail stores, loyalty cards at national pharmacies, key tags at your favorite fast-food chain, even driver identification cards and more. This flexible and porous material prints beautifully, provides extended durability and is environmentally responsible.
