PVC Card
High-Quality PVC Card
Blank PVC Card
A blank plastic ID card made from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the foundation for most identification solutions. These cards feature a smooth, glossy white surface on both sides, ideal for vibrant full-color printing using dye-sublimation or thermal transfer printers.
Standard size (CR80, 85.6 mm × 54 mm) and 30 mil thickness make these cards compatible with most card printers and badge accessories. Whether you’re creating ID badges, access control passes, membership cards, or gift certificates, these white cards provide a high-quality, professional look.
They are also suitable for barcode printing, magnetic stripe encoding, and RFID integration. Each blank card is manufactured with precision for consistent print quality and durability, making them a go-to choice for offices, schools, retail stores, and more.
10 Mil & 20 Mil Blank PVC Cards
Our thin-profile white cards are available in 10 mil and 20 mil options, offering flexibility for specialized applications. The 10 mil card is the thinnest format and is commonly used as a printable overlay on thicker proximity or clamshell cards. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for temporary use or ID badge updates.
The 20 mil version offers a more substantial feel while remaining lighter than traditional 30 mil cards. It’s popular in schools, event management, and low-budget ID programs where flexibility and cost-efficiency matter.
Both variants are made from high-quality materials that support excellent image quality through standard printing methods. Their slim profiles reduce material bulk while maintaining reliability in visual identification systems.
Adhesive PVC Card (Overlay)
Adhesive ID overlays are specially designed for use with cards that can’t be printed directly—such as clamshell proximity cards. These overlays consist of a printable white surface with a peel-off adhesive back, allowing users to apply custom-printed labels to existing access credentials.
Commonly used in organizations where reissuing proximity badges is costly, this option provides a smart workaround. Simply print your card design using a card printer, then peel and stick the overlay onto a clamshell or unprintable card.
These overlays support full-color printing and ensure compatibility with dye-sublimation printers. A cost-effective, versatile solution for updating ID badges, visitor passes, or event cards.
Magnetic Stripe PVC Card (HiCo/LoCo)
Magstripe cards are widely used in point-of-sale, hotel keys, transportation, and access control. These standard-sized CR80 plastic cards feature a black magnetic stripe on the reverse side, designed to store and transmit data securely.
Available in both HiCo (high coercivity) and LoCo (low coercivity) versions, they offer flexibility based on durability and data retention needs. HiCo stripes are ideal for long-term use, while LoCo is perfect for temporary or low-security applications.
Made from premium materials, these cards support full-color printing, personalization, and barcode encoding. They’re commonly used as payment cards, membership IDs, room keys, or loyalty cards.
MIFARE Contactless
MIFARE cards are contactless smartcards operating at 13.56 MHz and conforming to ISO/IEC 14443 standards. Available in variants like MIFARE Classic, DESFire, and Ultralight, these cards store data securely and support read/write operations.
Each card contains an embedded chip and antenna that allows it to communicate with a reader wirelessly. They’re ideal for public transportation, secure facility access, student ID systems, and payment solutions.
Constructed from high-grade plastic, these cards support high-resolution printing and long-term durability. MIFARE cards offer a secure, multi-functional solution for digital identification and smart access.
Proximity Access Cards (125 kHz)
Proximity access cards are RFID-enabled identification cards that transmit a unique read-only ID number to a compatible reader when held nearby. Operating at 125 kHz, these cards are designed for basic security and access management.
With no internal data storage, they are used in low-security environments where fast and reliable entry is needed. Applications include office buildings, schools, parking lots, and gated communities.
Made from durable materials, they’re compatible with badge printers for adding custom graphics, logos, and text. These cards are a staple in cost-effective access control systems.
Contact Smart Cards (Chip-Based)
Contact smartcards include an embedded microchip that stores encrypted data, requiring physical insertion into a reader for use. They comply with ISO/IEC 7816 standards and are widely used in banking, national ID programs, healthcare, and enterprise security.
Each card allows secure exchange of information, storing personal data, biometric credentials, or cryptographic keys. Unlike contactless cards, these require direct contact, providing added protection for sensitive information.
Designed to withstand heavy use, they are printable and support full personalization. Their advanced functionality makes them ideal for secure transactions and authentication.
ID Card Printer Cleaning Kit
Maintaining your card printer is crucial to extending its life and ensuring consistent quality. Our cleaning kits include alcohol-based swabs, cleaning cards, and lint-free wipes designed to remove dirt, ribbon residue, and dust from rollers and printheads.
Using a cleaning kit every 1,000 prints—or as recommended by the manufacturer—prevents misfeeds, faded prints, and hardware damage. This simple maintenance step boosts printer performance and helps preserve the quality of your custom ID cards.
Compatible with major printer brands, this kit is essential for organizations printing high volumes of ID badges or access cards.
