How to Select the Right CardRelyco’s ID and Membership cards are available in a range of styles, sizes, and materials. Simply choose the ID card that meets the quality, durability and cost requirements of your unique project. Unsure how to choose the best solution? We will help you make the right selection for your application. Here are some things to think about…

Types of cards available When choosing the right ID or membership card for your application and budget, there are a number of factors to consider.

Die-cut laser ID and membership cards are created by perforating or die-cutting the carrier sheet. A user simply punches out the card. Die-cut laser cards can be either paper or poly, depending on the specific application and budget of your project.

Integrated laser ID and membership cards use a carrier sheet with a plastic “patch,” which is positioned at the back of the card, enabling the card to peel away from the carrier. Since the back of the card is laminated, removal is easy, and lamination gives the card added durability.

In-laid poly ID and membership cards are made of 7-mil polyester affixed to a paper carrier sheet with a “debossed well” in which the card sits. Extremely durable, these ID and membership cards are heat, tear and water resistant, as well as toner and ball-point pen receptive.

Non-laser plastic cards are available in sizes from 7 to 30 mil and can incorporate magnetic stripes, signature panels, bar codes and other personalization options.

What is the application?How the card will be used is one of the best indicators of which type of card to choose. Will a paper card will be satisfactory or will you need a more durable poly or plastic card.

How long will the card need to last? Is the card for one-time use, or will it be re-used over and over again? Or, will it need to be long lasting even if it isn’t used on a regular basis? Answering questions like this will help you determine whether a plain paper, laminated paper, poly, or plastic card should be used.

What type of laser printer is being used? Some cards are more compatible than others with certain types of equipment. No matter which card you think is best suited to your application, it is always best that you test the card on the equipment that will be used to print it.

EZ-Card In-Laid Poly Laser Cards Relyco’s in-laid plastic ID and membership cards are made of 7-mil plastic affixed to a paper carrier sheet with a “debossed well” in which the card sits – making the overall document coplanar. This construction enables the ID/membership cards to smoothly run through a laser/digital printer for jam-free personalization.

EZ-Card Die-Cut Laser Cards Unlike Relyco’s in-laid poly cards, which are affixed to a carrier sheet, die-cut Laser cards are created by perforating or die-cutting the carrier sheet. A user simply punches out the card. Die Cut Laser Membership Cards can be either paper or polyester, depending on the specific application and budget of your project.
