Composite Card Material

AlphaPass composite cards are made from a combination of PVC and polyester. This blend enhances durability and can withstand higher temperatures, making them ideal for laminating.

Printing on Your Prox Cards

Customize your prox cards for use as employee IDs, staff ID cards, security passes, and more. 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 your cards in-house, you can order them professionally printed. This option is suitable if you lack an ID card printer or need a large quantity of cards.

You will need to provide the card artwork. Need a design? Our card experts offer a custom card design service.

Additional Details for Pre-Printed Cards:

• Lead time after final approval: 2-3 weeks
• Minimum order quantity: 250 cards
• Additional costs: $0.75 per side for full-color printing, $0.25 per side for monochrome printing

Printing In-House

If you prefer to print on-demand, use an ID card printer. Ensure it is a reverse transfer printer to avoid damage due to uneven card surfaces.

Slot Punch Options

Enhance security and convenience by displaying your ID cards with accessories like lanyards or badge reels. To use these accessories, you'll need to slot-punch the cards.

Ordering Cards Pre-Punched

Choose vertical or horizontal punches when ordering pre-punched cards. Each slot punch adds $0.20 per card.

Note: If you plan to print in-house, avoid ordering pre-punched cards to prevent damage to your printer.

Slot Punching the Cards In-House

If you prefer to punch cards yourself, use punch mark guides provided with the cards. Ensure accurate placement to prevent damage.
