cardPresso
cardPresso is a desktop application for designing and printing custom ID cards, employee badges, membership cards and other plastic card products. It includes a visual card design editor where users can place text, images, graphics and database fields, integrated support for importing and managing data from spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX, CSV, TXT), and tools for managing large databases with or without embedded photos. The software is targeted at businesses, educational institutions and organisations that need to produce professional ID cards in-house or at volume.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results show that cardPresso receives updates — version 1.7.65 was available as recently as November 2025 — but we could not find any evidence that a native Apple Silicon build has been released. The vendor continues to ship the application, but there is no clear public information about architecture support or Apple Silicon compatibility. Given that this is May 2026 and Apple will remove Rosetta 2 in September 2028, you should contact the cardPresso developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon (arm64) build is in development or planned for release before the Rosetta 2 deadline. If the vendor has no timeline for native support, you may need to evaluate alternative card design tools that offer native Apple Silicon builds, or consider whether you can transition your card production workflow to a different platform in the next 28 months.
