Tactile Impression

Use the tactile impression feature to impress an easily verified design onto the card laminate and substrate to help make alteration attempts immediately evident. Choose from a set of generic designs, or create a custom design that impresses your unique logo or seal to elevate security as well as your brand.

Choice of Overlays

Take security and durability to new levels with near, or full edge-to-edge lamination. Choose from a variety of options including the budget-friendly Datacard® DuraShield™ clear overlay that’s virtually impossible to remove intact. It’s four times the strength of basic topcoats at nearly the same price. Plus, get the ability to apply serialized laminates, which lets you bind each card you print to a specific identity in your database to help deter counterfeiting.

Single-Pass Printing, Encoding and Laminating

Print vibrant cards with high-resolution, edge-to-edge printing. Encode smart chips, magnetic stripes to meet the needs of your existing service and security infrastructure. Apply the security and durability laminates you need to protect your people, facilities and assets. Do it all in one pass for incredible efficiency.

Cards that are this secure, advanced and attractive should not come out of the printer bent or bowed. Our unique de-bowing feature flattens cards after lamination to meet ISO standards for quality.
