Composite CardsThese cards are only available in composite material, making the cards more durable so they can withstand higher heat; if you need to laminate your cards or print on them with a reverse transfer printer, we recommend composite cards.
Slot Punching CardsDisplaying your ID cards with accessories including lanyards or badge reels improves building security and keeps them easily at hand for frequent use during the day. To use the cards with a lanyard or reel, you will need to slot punch the cards.
Please note that if you plan to print on the cards in-house with your ID card printer, you should not order pre-punched cards. The rough edges of the slot punches can tear the ribbon and damage your printhead.
If you choose to punch the cards yourself, order your cards with vertical slot punch guides – it is incredibly important that you slot punch your cards in the correct spot. Slot punching cards in other spots can damage the internal parts and break your cards.
Printing on Your CardsIf you want to print on your HID iCLASS smart card, it is recommended that you only use reverse transfer ID card printers. Technology cards like iCLASS smart cards can have uneven surfaces because of their embedded chips or antennas and using a reverse transfer printer will help prevent damage to the printhead.
If you do not want to print your cards in-house, contact us today to discuss your options for ordering pre-printed cards from the manufacturer. Pre-printed cards have an additional lead time, minimum order quantity, and additional fees.
