Standard 30mil PVC Card Construction
At approximately 0.030 inch / 0.76 mm thick, 30 mil is the familiar thickness commonly associated with standard credit-card-size plastic credentials. The CR80 / ID-1 format measures approximately 3.375 inches wide by 2.125 inches high, providing a compact card size that fits standard wallets, badge holders, card sleeves, and many common card accessories.
The rigid PVC construction provides a more substantial and professional feel than paper or lightweight temporary credentials, making these cards well suited for programs where appearance, durability, and consistent branding are important.
Professional Custom Printing
Pre-printed PVC cards allow your organization to maintain a consistent appearance across every credential without having to reproduce the complete card design individually.
Add company branding, logos, graphics, program names, instructions, membership information, background designs, or other fixed artwork to create a polished card that reflects your organization's identity.
Ideal for 500-Card Programs
The 500-card quantity is well suited for organizations that need a consistent supply of professionally printed cards for ongoing issuance or a planned credential rollout.
Ordering cards with the primary design already printed can simplify card distribution and help organizations maintain consistent branding across departments, locations, events, or membership programs.
Custom Artwork & Card Design
Custom printing transforms a standard white PVC card into a finished credential designed specifically for your organization. Artwork may include logos, brand colors, text, identification elements, graphic backgrounds, membership information, or other fixed card content.
For the sharpest reproduction, provide the highest-quality artwork available. Vector artwork is generally preferred for logos, text, and line graphics because it can be reproduced cleanly at card size.
Why Choose Custom-Printed PVC Cards?
Consistent Branding
Maintain the same logo, colors, artwork, and card layout across your entire card program.
Professional Appearance
Upgrade from paper credentials or generic cards to a finished plastic card designed around your organization.
Convenient Volume
A 500-card order provides inventory for larger programs, recurring issuance, membership distribution, or future card needs.
