Frequently Asked Questions
What does CR80 mean?
CR80 is the standard ID card size: 3.375″ x 2.125″ (85.6mm x 54mm). It’s the same size as a credit card and is compatible with virtually all ID card printers and badge holders.
What’s the difference between 30 mil and other thicknesses?
30 mil (0.76mm) is the standard thickness that works with most ID card printers. Some specialty applications use thinner cards (20 mil for proximity clamshells) or thicker cards. If you’re not sure, 30 mil is almost always the right choice.
Should I use PVC or composite cards?
Standard PVC cards work great for most applications and are more affordable. Composite cards (PVC/polyester) are better for high-use environments, outdoor use, or if you’re using a retransfer printer. Contact us if you’re unsure which is right for you.
What’s the minimum order for bulk pricing?
