Identity cards and security cards are becoming more sophisticated and widely used for a number of purposes, including residence, healthcare, driver's licenses, and employment identification. A longer-lasting, more robust card is required due to the necessity for increased security in these identification credentials and the expense of the security elements included in the card.
These cards need to withstand a wide range of stressors. They have to withstand physical change efforts, years of "poor handling" by some careless users, and even bad weather. The most secure, robust, and climate-resistant cards must be produced by card producers. Polycarbonate is the preferred substrate that an increasing number of manufacturers are using.
For this kind of card application, polycarbonate films' many advantageous qualities are crucial. It features unique colors, tight gauge tolerance, minimal shrinkage, high temperature resistance, and excellent surface textures for printing. These characteristics enable polycarbonate to significantly outperform other materials, including PVC, in the three most important aspects of a secure card: environmental stability, life expectancy, and durability.
To meet the unique needs of this market, polycarbonate card films are developed, including polycarbonate white core, clear polycarbonate laserable film,clear polycarbonate overlay film.
We encourage customers who manufacture identity and security cards to ask our sales for customized size sample of the film and thickness for testing.
