The Old Way to Make ID Cards

People have been creating and using identification cards since before the turn of the century. Prior to the early 1990s, the most common method of producing an ID card was known as the composite or Film-Based method. This simply involved taking a person's photo, cutting it out, and laminating it to a card-sized piece of paper containing the person's name, ID number, and any other personal information.

Although the initial investment for a film-based system was relatively low, the time, labor, and individual cost per card was high. Moreover, these cards were easily counterfeited. As a result, a new method called digital printing began to arise during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The New Way To Make ID Cards

Today, Digital Printing has become the technology of choice for the majority of organizations issuing identification cards -- and with good reason.The plastic card printing technology is vast. The choice of technology depends on the graphics required and quantity. We have the necessary competence and experience in producing all types of plastic cards. A Digitally Printed Card is a single layer of plastic card. The photograph as well as all the other matter is digitally printed. This process has  highly advanced options of multi colour graphics - upto 16 million colours. As the photo is also printed, it makes the card almost impossible to duplicate. Digital ID Card Systems are growing increasingly affordable, are easy to use, and offer a host of benefits including...

•    Ultra-fast production times (complete full-color photo ID badges in as fast as 25   
     seconds do!)
•    Low cost per card
•    Unlimited color options
•     Automatic magnetic stripe, bar code, proximity, or smart card options (for access  
     control, time and attendance, etc.)
•    Powerful database options (for employee, student, or membership records or 
     reporting)  
•    Highly durable cards
•     Difficult to counterfeit
•     Faster, easier badge replacement
•   Far less labour

... Moreover, the list goes on and on. We look forward to helping your organization become as safe, secure, and efficient as possible.
