ID Services Blank and Pre-Printed Plastic Cards |
|
ID Services carries 27 standard colors of blank stock, so even when you need an uncommon color, such as cranberry or brown, we have it on hand. ID Services premium stock includes a clear PVC laminate that adds a brilliant surface finish. It is formulated for maximum print receptivity, vibrancy and wearability. ID Services stock is available in three different finishes, polish/polish, polish/matte and matte/matte. We carry .012, .015, .020, .024, .030 thicknesses and CR80/CR50 sizes. Graphics quality cards are in high demand for use with thermal dye-sublimation printers. ID Services ensures that our customers receive only the highest quality cards. We can inspect graphics quality cards in two ways. First, we can individually hand inspect them in our quality control room. Second, the Louda Kis II Visual Inspection Machine can check the cards. The choice is yours! For those applications where the card needs to last a long time and withstand harsh situations we recommend our TAC1 and TAC2 cards. They are a blend of polyester and PVC and will extend the total life of the card substantially. Blank crease-white and super stress cards are available in over 17 stock colors, three finishes, several sizes (CR50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100) and three thicknesses (.020, .024, .030). CR50 - 3.5" x 1.75" * not available in all colors |

| Security Options For more on Card Security Click Here | |
| Holograms | |
| We've all seen
them on credit cards and drivers licenses. Angle the card one way and to
view the image, angle it another way and the image changes. This security feature
is commonly used to prevent the reproduction of ATM/Bank cards, credit cards,
drivers licenses, and any card that requires counterfeit protection. ID Services
has a variety of holograms to choose from or will apply your own custom
hologram. Various types of holograms are available; from single angle
views to multiple angle views. The more viewing angles in the
hologram the harder it is to counterfeit. Desktop card printers are unable to print true holograms; however, custom clear overlays with high quality holograms can be created and applied by these printers. |
|
| UV Inks | |
|
UV Inks are most commonly used to put
hidden graphics and text on a plastic card. The inks are invisible
until the card is subjected to a certain colored light (for instance, when
placing a California drivers license under a black light the image of the
California flag will become visible in green and orange.) UV inks are
used as an aid in detecting counterfeit cards. They come in a variety
of colors and can react to different colored lights.
Desktop card printers are unable to print UV ink. |
|
| Micro Printing | |
|
Micro-printing
is very small text printed into the plastic card and generally look like
thin lines to the naked eye. The text is printed at 9600 dpi (dots per
inch) and require a magnifying glass to view the micro-printed text.
Again, I will use the California drivers license as an example. On the
top of the license are the letters DMV with what appears to be horizontal
lines through it. The top lines are actually the words CALIFORNIA DMV.
You will need a strong magnifying glass to be able to read them.
Desktop card printers print at 300 dpi and can not reproduce micro-printing making micro-printing a very handy feature when checking for counterfeit cards. |
|
| Other Options | |
| Consecutive Numbering | |
| Consecutive numbers with up to 7 digits can be printed anywhere on any color of card. The numbers are applied with heat and are offered in two sizes. | |
| Bar Code Blocks | |
| Bar code blocks are applied to cards as a security feature. They are printed with special silk-screen non-carbon inks. The bar codes are then applied on top of the blocks to prevent the bar code from being copied. Blocks are available in black or red to any size dimension. | |
| Scratch-off Panels | |
| Scratch-off panels are applied through hot stamping or silk screening. Typically they are used to cover pin numbers on pre-paid phone cards. | |
| Writable Panels | |
 Both printable and signature panels are offered in white. We recommend
that customers test sample printable cards in their printers before
ordering, as each printer performs differently. A reasonable amount of
sample cards will be provided for testing upon request. Signature panels may
be applied both as a hot stamp and a screen printed process. Signature
panels must be screen printed when the card thickness is less than .020,
when multiple panels are required, or the panel size is other than standard.
Clear panels are available by silk-screen method only.Hot Stamping: Panels are available in standard, short, slim, and slim short. Silk-Screen printing offers a wider variety of sizes than hot-stamping. |
|
| Pin Numbers | |
| This security feature will activate usage of the card. Once the numbers have been supplied from our customers, ID Services can apply them to the customer cards. | |
| Control Numbers | |
| Control numbers can measure card usage and be used as a tracking device if the card is lost. ID Services will print these on cards after the numbers have been supplied. | |
| Adhesive Backed Cards | |
|
Our Adhesive backed cards are graphics quality white PVC plastic cards with
a high adhesion material on the back. These cards are designed to run
through direct-to-card printers and then be applied to proximity cards.
All adhesive cards have a removable protective backing. Card sizes are as follows:
