Stock-Based Compensation	Jun. 30, 2026
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	. Stock-Based Compensation In October 2015, the Company adopted the CPI Card Group Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended and supplemented, the “Omnibus Plan”) pursuant to which cash and equity-based incentives may be granted to participating employees, advisors, and directors. Effective January 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Omnibus Plan to increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and available for issuance thereunder by 1,000,000 shares, resulting in a total of 3,200,000 shares issuable under the Omnibus Plan. As of June 30, 2026, there were 649,465 shares of common stock available for grant under the Omnibus Plan. In 2026, the Company granted certain executives two performance cash awards (PCAs) with a total grant date fair value of $3.1 million using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These PCAs will vest on December 31, 2026 and December 31, 2028 and are expected to settle in the first quarters of 2027 and 2029, respectively, subject to continuous employment and the achievement of certain Company performance goals including the Company’s relative total shareholder return of stock against the Russell 2000 index. As the awards are liability-classified, the awards are remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and at settlement, with changes recognized as stock-based compensation expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 165,235 restricted stock units at a weighted average grant date fair value of $16.29. As of June 30, 2026, there were 565,320 outstanding restricted stock units at a weighted average grant date fair value of $18.99. As of June 30, 2026, there were 570,166 options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $15.44. No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Options have seven-year terms and are issued with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. All equity awards are contingent and issued only upon approval by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors, or as otherwise permitted under the Omnibus Plan. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC 718, Share-Based Payments. All stock-based compensation is required to be measured at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period, generally defined as the applicable vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur and reverses previously recognized expenses for the unvested portion of the forfeited shares. Upon the exercise of stock options, shares of common stock are issued from authorized common shares.
