Dual-sided card printers are your best bet for printing large volumes of dual-sided cards, as they are able to print on both sides of a card in one pass. A little known secret is that single-sided card printers can be used to produce dual-sided card as well.

To print dual-sided cards with a single-sided card printer, you must flip the card and reinsert it into the printer to print the other side. This requires you to have separate card designs for the front and back, but it’s a great way to integrate barcodes or other information on the back side of a card.
While this is a cumbersome process, it can benefit those that need to produce just a few dual-sided cards but have already invested in a single-sided printer. If you have a large-volume card program, you may want to consider other options before you start hand feeding hundreds of cards into your card printer. First, many card printers are capable of being upgraded to dual-sided capability. Second, you may find that saving the time and effort it takes to print dual-sided cards with a single-sided card printer is well worth investing in a new dual-sided card printer.
