Datacard
Reliable and secure, Datacard printers consistently yield exceptional quality when it comes to printing and encoding personalized photo ID badges, membership cards, and smart technology cards. The Datacard printer line-up is scaled to serve a wide variety of needs for businesses and organizations of all sizes. We offer the broadest range of desktop printers, from high-speed systems that apply customized security laminates and personalize smart cards completely in line to low-cost, low-volume models for basic needs.
In plastic card printing, lamination is a clear protective layer that is applied over the top of your printed cards by a printer with lamination capability. Primarily this is used to extend the life of your cards (the additional layer adds protection from physical wear, rubbing, etc as well as fading from the sun) and to increase security. The additional layer makes it more difficult to tamper with cards, and when coupled with holographic laminates, makes cards almost impossible to duplicate.
