Standard Photo ID Cards

InstantCard uses the highest quality white PVC card stock (30 mil thickness), printed in brilliant 4-color on the front. Our print process ensures outstanding color rendering of photos and logos. Cards are generally printed in black on the back, but they can also be printed with color on both sides for a small additional charge. The cards are the same size as a standard credit card. We use the highest quality printing technology to ensure that cards are not dull or blurred, and that the image will remain bright and clear for years to come. The clear plastic protection layer ensures that colors will not fade over time. Small printers cannot match the level of quality obtained through our high-end production process.

For clients requiring a higher degree of durability, or who will be using their cards in rough environments, we offer a composite card option. The body of the card is made of layers of tough high-performance plastic, able to resist extreme temperatures, and to withstand unusually harsh conditions.

Additional Card Security

Standard cards are already very difficult to falsify. However, if additional card security is required, we offer the ability to include:
• Standard or Custom laminate overlays
• Holographic inlay or overlay
• Ghosted imaging
• Micro-printing

InstantCard Photo ID cards are extremely professional looking, and are as different from standard paper ID cards laminated between two sheets of plastic as a Harley Davidson is from a bicycle! If you are not 100% satisfied with your cards, you may return them for a full refund.
