Cards & Materials
Composite card
A blend of PVC and polyester that withstands higher heat, ideal for retransfer and durability.
Composite (PVC/PET) cards resist warping under the heat of retransfer printing and lamination, making them the choice for long-life credentials.
More on this in our guide to picking a printer.
The polyester in a composite (PVC/PET) card lets it take the heat of retransfer printing and lamination without warping, so it is the right stock for long-life, high-security, or technology cards. It costs more than plain PVC, spend it where durability matters.
