  • Select the material and thickness from the pull down menu. The most common material for plastic cards is 30 Mil Plastic which is a standard credit card thickness, The 20 Mil Plastic is thinner and used where a less rigid final product is desired. EconoBrite is our 120 Pound Card Stock coated with UV Liquid Lamination which is good for shorter term less durable applications..

  • We can imprint each card differently by merging fields from a supplied spreadsheet. This can be used for numbering, barcoding and personalization. Check the Variable Data Tab for additional information. If you sequentially number your job, you can select Random Pack or Sequential Pack. The least expensive is Random pack where the numbers are not in order but have no duplicates. The alternative is Sequential pack where we have to manually ensure that each card is in order which increases the cost.

  • You can select HiCO or LoCo Mag Stripe. HiCo is intended for most applications as it is more durable. LoCo is less expensive and intended for shorter term uses. Examples of HiCo are Credit Cards and LoCo a hotel key card that only needs to last for a few days and then be rewritten. The Signature panel is white stripe receptive to pen. All Stripe cards need to reserve the upper 13/16" for the strip meaning no information, text or logos should be in that area. A background color is OK in that area.

    PVC versus Polyester Material

    Our Cards are Polyester Core - NOT PVC

    Our cards use a polyester core with laminate on both sides while a credit card uses a PVC core with laminate on both sides. Both Polyester and PVC cards are 100% plastic and fully waterproof. Typically a PVC card is used for high volume applications like a credit card while polyester cards are used for shorter runs. Both are the same 30 mil thickness and are technically equivalent although PVC is slightly more rigid than Polyester. Our polyester core is a more expensive material than PVC and our process typically produces a higher quality image, permits very high quality variable data including photographs, is faster and more economical at lower volumes.
