PVC Card Material
AlphaPass PVC cards are constructed from durable white PVC, commonly used in ID cards. They can be printed on and are suitable for various applications.
Printing on Your Prox Cards
Customize prox cards for employee IDs, staff ID cards, security passes, and more. Custom printing enhances card identification and eliminates the need for additional ID badges.
By default, the cards will have a small brand logo and reference number printed in the lower left-hand corner.
Ordering Pre-Printed Cards
If you prefer not to print cards in-house, order professionally printed cards. This option is suitable for those without an ID card printer or needing a large quantity of cards. Provide card artwork, or utilize our custom card design service.
Pre-printed cards have an additional lead time (2-3 weeks after final approval) and a minimum order quantity of 250 cards. Full-color printing adds $0.75 per side/card, and Monochrome adds $0.25 per side/card.
Printing In-House
Print cards on-demand with an ID card printer, especially useful for printing individual cardholder information or photos. If printing in-house on AlphaPass cards, use reverse transfer ID card printers to prevent damage to the printhead.
Slot Punch Options
Display ID cards with accessories such as lanyards or badge reels for enhanced security and accessibility.
Ordering Cards Pre-Punched
When ordering prox cards pre-punched by the manufacturer, choose from vertical or horizontal punches. Adding a slot punch incurs an additional cost of $0.20 per card.
Note: If planning to print in-house, avoid ordering pre-punched cards to prevent damage to the printhead.
Slot Punching the Cards In-House
If opting to punch cards yourself, use provided punch mark guides and ensure correct slot punching to prevent damage to internal parts.
