Holographic PVC Laminate

PVC for Card – The Industry Standard for Card Manufacturing

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a versatile thermoplastic polymer and the most widely used material for manufacturing credit cards, ID cards, loyalty cards, and access control badges.

Why Choose PVC for Card Manufacturing?
PVC offers excellent printability (offset, screen, digital, and thermal transfer), a smooth surface finish, strong dimensional stability, and reliable adhesion for lamination. It fully supports magnetic stripes, signature panels, and chip embedding – providing good durability and flexibility at a low material cost.

Which Card Segments Use PVC?
PVC dominates the card industry, including
Bank cards (debit and credit)
Government IDs (driver’s licenses, national IDs)
Employee badges
Hotel key cards
Membership and loyalty cards
Prepaid gift cards
RFID-enabled access cards

Why Do Card Issuers Choose PVC?
Customers choose PVC because it is the proven, cost-effective industry benchmark. It is reliable, widely compatible with existing card printing and personalization equipment, and fully compliant with ISO/IEC 7810 for ID-1 size cards. PVC delivers consistent quality for high-volume production runs.
