The options for the PVC card mate­r­i­al are vari­able. The main options are stan­dard white PVC, clear PVC and coloured PVC.

1. Standard white PVC

White PVC is the most com­mon PVC mate­r­i­al. It is a pop­u­lar choice for plas­tic print­ing, such as gift cards, key tags, card and key tag com­bos, busi­ness cards, event and ID badges and more. The price is rel­a­tive­ly low and suit­able for mass pro­duc­tion. White PVC has good wear resis­tance and water resis­tance, suit­able for dai­ly use. Can be per­son­alised as need­ed to suit var­i­ous brands and events. Bar­codes, QR codes or oth­er infor­ma­tion can be added to the card.

2. Transparent PVC

Trans­par­ent or translu­cent PVC mate­r­i­al has a unique appear­ance, suit­able for mak­ing win­dow cards or badges. Print­ing results may be affect­ed by trans­paren­cy, which usu­al­ly requires print­ing on a spe­cif­ic part of the card. The trans­par­ent design gives the card a unique appear­ance and can reveal inter­nal infor­ma­tion or graph­ics. Clear PVC is a great stock for cre­ative designs. Can be com­bined with oth­er design ele­ments to cre­ate attrac­tive effects.

3. Colored PVC

Col­ored PVC has col­or added dur­ing the pro­duc­tion process. They are usu­al­ly sup­plied from the fac­to­ry in a spe­cif­ic col­or with­out the need for sub­se­quent print­ing or coat­ing. Com­mon col­ors include black, red, orange, yel­low, green, blue, pink, pur­ple, etc. Although the PVC is already col­ored, it can still be print­ed on the sur­face, suit­able for adding a per­son­alised mes­sage or pat­tern. Like stan­dard PVC cards, pre-col­ored PVC cards offer good dura­bil­i­ty and resis­tance to wear and tear. Not eas­i­ly fad­ed, suit­able for long term use.
