Inkjet PVC Cards

Inkjet PVC Cards (often referred to as printable PVC cards or CR80 inkjet cards) are specially coated plastic cards engineered for high-resolution, direct-to-card inkjet printing. Designed with a micro-porous receiving layer, they absorb and lock in ink instantly, producing vibrant, photo-quality identification cards without the need for expensive thermal transfer printers.

Key Features

• Instant Dry & Water Resistant: Advanced nano-coating technology ensures that dye or pigment inks dry immediately upon printing and resist smudging, bleeding, or fading when exposed to moisture.

• Vibrant Photo Quality: Delivers ultra-sharp text, rich colors, and high-definition photo reproduction that rivals professional commercial card printing.

• Standard CR80 Size: Manufactured to ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standards (Credit Card size), ensuring universal compatibility with standard badge holders, slots, and punches.

• Dual-Sided Printable: Features an optimized ink-receptive coating on both the front and back surfaces for versatile multi-sided ID production.
