What about <$1 for exactly this printed and laminated at a library or stationery shop?

If that's not fulfilling 'nice', it's a pretty simple job for someone that can laser engrave, I wonder what Shapeways or similar would charge for a credit card sized sheet of something, engraved with the info for example.

Not OP, but it’s cheaper in terms of time to just order it online and have it shipped to your house. One interaction and it shows up, vs going to a library or stationary shop, transferring the data or filling it out there, etc.

I know we’re on a tangent, but this seems to go against most (all?) design decisions that the original author intentionally made. By that, I mean specifically, that the data doesn’t leave the user’s browser, isn’t stored, no tracking, etc. To order something like this online, you’d effectively be sending all of your most sensitive and important information to a 3rd party. Food for thought.

OK, sure. You can do that with standard printing and laminating too though (just not for under a pound/dollar of course) - my point was the process, not the venue.
