Product Overview

These multi-feature, premium PVC cards offer a dual-technology solution for high-volume deployments requiring both electronic data encoding and manual authentication. Manufactured from high-grade, graphic-quality PVC, each card features a bright, professional light blue core finish across the entire face and reverse.

On the back, each card is equipped with a high-coercivity (Hi-Co) unencoded magnetic stripe alongside a secure matte-white signature strip. Supplied in a bulk pack of 500, these cards allow larger organisations, universities, or service providers to align their security credentials, library cards, or membership tiers with lighter brand colours while maintaining full compatibility with legacy swipe systems and manual signature verification.

Key Features

• Dual-Technology Ready: Combines a High-Coercivity (2750 Oersted) magnetic stripe with a write-on panel to support multi-layered security or verification tracking.

• Bright Light Blue Finish: Provides a solid background that coordinates effectively with corporate or educational colour schemes and contrasts cleanly with dark print.

• Standard CR80 Dimensions: Measures 85.60mm x 53.98mm, matching standard credit and debit card sizing exactly.

• 760 Micron Thickness: Engineered to a standard 30 mil thickness, ensuring optimal rigidity and long-term durability under frequent daily use.

• Integrated Signature Panel: Features a rear-mounted write-on strip that allows cardholders or staff to sign and authenticate the card securely using a standard ballpoint pen.

• Bulk Pack Quantity: Supplied in a cost-effective wholesale pack of 500 cards, ideal for large-scale print runs and corporate issuance.

Compatibility

• Magnetic Stripe Encoders & Readers: Fully compatible with standard Hi-Co magnetic stripe encoders and swiping hardware.

• ID Card Printers: Compatible with all major direct-to-card (DTC) and retransfer ID card printers, including Magicard, Evolis, Zebra, Fargo, and IDP Smart. Note: Overprinting text or barcodes over the light blue surface is best suited to dark, high-contrast monochrome ribbons, such as black or dark navy.
