How a card gets made

Six steps between your data file and a finished, laminated ID card in a student's or employee's hand.

  1. 1

    Card stock

    0.76mm PVC — the industry-standard thickness for ID cards, thick enough to resist bending in a bag or wallet.

  2. 2

    Print

    Full-color dye-sublimation printing direct to the card, from your submitted data and photos.

  3. 3

    RFID embedding

    For access-control or library cards, the chip is embedded before lamination — no visible seam or added bulk.

  4. 4

    Lamination

    Edge-to-edge lamination seals the print layer so it can't be scratched or peeled off.

  5. 5

    Quality check

    Every batch is checked for print alignment, color consistency, and lamination seal before packing.

  6. 6

    Dispatch

    Bulk batches ship directly to your city — see Service Area for coverage across the Northeast.
