Blank PVC Card Buying Guide
Blank cards are the foundation of every print job, and the right card determines both how the finished ID looks and what it can do. All our cards are CR80, the standard credit-card size (85.6 x 54mm), so they fit any direct-to-card or retransfer printer. The guide below explains the card types, how to match them to your printer, and how to buy efficiently.
Choose your card type
Plain white PVC cards are the everyday choice for printed photo ID and membership cards. Magnetic-stripe cards store swipe data for access and loyalty, while MiFare smart cards and 125kHz proximity cards hold encrypted data for contactless access and cashless payment. For credentials that must survive years of heavy use or resist tampering, polycarbonate cards are the most durable option.
Printer compatibility
Because every card is CR80, it will physically load into any ID card printer from HID FARGO, Zebra, Entrust, or Evolis. The difference is quality: genuine, branded cards have a smooth, clean surface that produces sharp prints and protects the printhead, whereas cheap, uneven cards cause faded images, jams, and premature printhead wear. For warranty-safe printing, match genuine HID or Zebra cards to those printers.
What will you make?
The same blank cards become staff and employee IDs, student and school cards, access-control and visitor badges, and membership and loyalty cards. Match the card technology to the job: plain white for printed identification, magnetic-stripe or smart cards where the card also has to open a door or carry a balance. Getting the card right is what separates a professional credential from a flimsy one.
Buy in bulk and save
Cards are sold in packs of 100 to 500, and ordering in larger quantities lowers your cost per card noticeably. Every card we stock is manufactured to ISO standards and tested for consistent thickness and surface quality, so a bulk order prints as reliably as the first card. Buying a box at a time also means you are never waiting on stock mid-print-run.
