Plastic Card

Unlike the old cut-and-paste ID cards of yesteryear, today's photo IDs are printed on durable PVC plastic. The cards are typically about the same size as a credit card, but come in several different widths and forms, and can include special features for varying security needs.

Printing Plastic Cards

In order to print on PVC plastic cards, an ID card printer is required. These printers are designed to work in harmony with the plastic cards, and are capable of producing crisp and detailed photo IDs that can range from the very basic to the highly advanced, depending on the security needs of the organization issuing the cards.
