Polycarbonate card bodies for driving licenses, ID papers, and even passport pages offer a tiered security approach to physical documents, making them more difficult to counterfeit.
A few distinguishing characteristics of polycarbonate card film make it ideal for physical identity cards, including:
Advanced and tamper-proof security measures.
High-quality personalized touches.
Stronger card material.
Longer document life.
Multiple Laser Image
While the most crucial feature of polycarbonate is its durability. Polycarbonate cards are constructed of many layers of plastic that fuse together to produce a mono (sigular) fused piece, making it almost hard for fraudsters to modify the materials or security measures without entirely destroying the card (unlike PVC),which makes the card body far more secure than other existing materials.
Another element of polycarbonate is the use of laser engraving techniques to incorporate personal information into the card's body. The laser engraving procedure adds deep lines to the document, making it even more difficult to fake.
Aside from laser engraving, polycarbonate cards have various tamper-proof components that are tactile, visible with the naked eye, or only visible with specialized equipment. The amount of security measures varies, but they may be easily identified by law police or other ID authorities. Once police officers or others understand how to spot security features, establishing the legitimacy of an identity paper becomes considerably easier.
