Printing and Plastics
When using plastic to print your cards, not just any plastic will do.
Material considerations for plastic card printing include the thickness of the card and the color or opacity of the card.

How to Choose Your Plastic Materials
When making your material choices for plastic cards, keep the use of your cards in mind.
Consider these questions below to help you determine the right options for your plastic card printing project:
– How will these cards be used?– Do I need to store data on the card?– Do I need to verify who that card holder is?– How frequently will the card holder use the card?– What will the card holder use the card for?– What information needs to be on the card?

The Role of Thickness
The most commonly used material for plastic card printing is white, 30 mil plastic.
– This is the same thickness and plastic material that most traditional credit cards are made from.

Other standard thicknesses include 24 mil and 20 mil white plastic.
Non standard or custom thicknesses are available, but tend to be quite expensive.

Colored Plastic
Plastic cards come in many colors, including clear and frosty clear.
However, colored plastic cards are being replaced by the digital printing methods used to print plastic cards.
As a result, you are no longer limited to certain colors for plastic card printing. Instead, you can choose any color you like for your plastic cards.
– This gives you a more economical way to get the exact color you want.
