It is time to upgrade your identity card to polycarbonate

RealSmart Polycarbonate ID Card

PVC has long been the dominant material in the card industry, thanks to its low cost. But have you ever received complaints about the user experience of PVC cards? Do you want to offer your valued customers something fresh and innovative?

Polycarbonate (PC) cards not only meet today’s higher expectations – they deliver benefits that may go far beyond what you imagined.

MORE DURABLE

No deformation risk. PC offers excellent thermal performance with a high heat deflection temperature. Its dimensional stability ensures low shrinkage and high stability even under temperature fluctuations. PC also resists chemicals, moisture, and skin oils, keeping the document legible and functional throughout its entire validity period.

Not turn yellow over time. Thanks to its inherently stable molecular structure and superior UV resistance, PC does not yellow easily – even after years of use – unlike traditional PVC materials.

MORE SECURE

Laser engraving makes it more secure. PC is optimized for high-definition laser engraving. The laser beam reacts with carbon particles within the core layers, “burning” the data deep inside the card body – not just printing on the surface, where it could be worn off or removed without laminate protection. This enables high-resolution, high-contrast personalization that is extremely tamper-resistant.

No delamination risk. During lamination, PC layers fuse at the molecular level to form a single, seamless, solid block. This unified structure provides superior security. Other materials often rely on additional adhesives or special glues to prevent delamination – a compromise PC simply doesn’t need.

MORE SPECIAL

Various design options. Do you want to make your card more attractive to your customers? Do you want your card users to feel proud carrying it? PC is definitely the better choice. With a wide range of advanced features – including holograms, open windows, optically variable inks, fluorescent inks, and more – your card will truly stand out from the crowd.
