Technical expertise

Professional PVC card printing specifications

Our PVC cards are commonly produced in CR80 format (credit card size) with a standard thickness of 760 microns, which is the most widely used specification for professional applications. We also offer alternative materials and formats, including thinner cards, transparent PVC, and premium paperboard options depending on the intended use. A wide range of finishes is available, such as matte or gloss lamination, hot foil stamping and spot UV varnish, along with advanced personalization including barcodes, QR codes, magnetic stripes and chip integration.

Our production process ensures accurate color rendering, consistent cutting and reliable data encoding for professional applications including retail, hospitality, access control and corporate identification systems. We also provide paper card solutions when a non-plastic format is more relevant to the project or to specific environmental or budget considerations.
