Similar to `PENDING_FULFILLMENT`, cards in this state can be used for e-commerce transactions or can be added to mobile wallets. API clients should update the card's state to `OPEN` only after the cardholder confirms receipt of the card. In sandbox, the same daily batch fulfillment occurs, but no cards are actually manufactured.
