Blizzard Starcraft II 60-day card
Available in retail stores, this 60-day card allows online gamers all the StarCraft II that they can handle. The environmentally-friendly paperboard cards ship with active codes, making them equivalent to cash. This required tight security measures throughout production, fulfillment and shipping.
Effective data management and security checkpoints paved the way for this project that involved multiple components, multiple partners, international design requirements and quick turn times.
To execute this complex project quickly, MPS and Blizzard worked closely to finalize package design and establish full supply chain traceability.
