According to your need for security we offer different possibilities to make your plastic cards secure: holograms, optical variable ink, laminates with security issues, ... All this can also be produced custom-built with specific details for the cards of your project.
Sublimate-printed cards are protected by overlays which prevent the cards from bleaching. Generally, cards with overlay can be used for two years.
Our recommendation: IDs in form of plastic cards that have to be defended from copying or that have to be in use for more than two years should get a laminate. But also the type of use can demand a lamination for the card, e.g. when the cards are exposed to strong UV-radiation (taxi drivers cards) or if the cards get in touch with chemical dissolvers (cards for laboratory or cleaning services).
