How to make our identity card have a long service life

Thank you picture from pngwing

Many people would have encountered problems with cards deteriorating quickly. You may have wondered why your ID card, student card, employee card are paler than your friends’. even though both cards were produced on the same day Many people have different assumptions. “How to make our identity card It has a longer service life. In very hot weather” that the root cause is plastic cards, card printers, card envelopes or the environment. Today, I’m going to share the factors for everyone to know. That in fact, what you suspected were all related. I would like to quote external factors such as the sun goes out first because it is difficult to avoid Let’s talk about the 3 types of devices that we can choose from as follows.

card printer lamination

Plastic card printers usually when printing cards. by printing a picture type letters final step is coated with special materials We will call this coating TopCoat. It is responsible for covering the card body and various colors that are printed on the card for longevity. no damage from use If something hits or scratches the card Before hitting the details of the pictures and letters, there will be a Topcoat that helps protect our cards. It also extends the card’s life to be resistant to sunlight or UV rays.

In addition to the normal coating with Topcoat, there is another accessory which is a Module that we call Laminator. Its function is to accept the printed and coated card to be coated again. By choosing up to 2 more layers of coating, known as the highest protection, your card will last up to 3 times longer than normal cards!!! Not only that, the Laminator also has the ability to change the coating material to give the card more dimension, such as the laminating film with its own Lion logo. opaque coating, etc.

Plastic card

Plastic cards must be manufactured in an ISO certified factory to ensure quality cards and longer service life. Because plastic cards, when deteriorated, will cause the card’s face to peel off and not be able to print. Caused by expired materials or ingredients in production because if we buy a plastic card from a general card dealer We have no way of knowing that the lottery tickets. How long has it been produced? How much time is left to use it? If we print a card that is nearing its expiration date, we encounter a problem that when users use it less than a year The card will fade quickly. The printed part will be peeled off. This is a very annoying problem for card printers. because in addition to being reprimanded by card users Still have to pay money to buy a new card. with more standards for convenience and no problems later

The normal white card, if produced to the standard, has to be chamfered on all sides of the card after the card has passed through the die-cut process. To prevent the card from having PVC plastic scraps that are cut higher than the card level. because it will damage the print head. This results in lower print quality because the cards are not flat on the same plane.

frame or card holder

frame or card holder popular and commonly seen But did you know? Actually, these 2 things have different card management capabilities. That is to say, the card envelope will look like a transparent envelope. There is a slot for inserting a card. so that the card can be shown by having an envelope to cover another layer But there is one very serious disadvantage. If we put the card in an envelope and put it in a place with very strong sunlight. May cause the envelope material and the material printed on the card to be peeled off and stick to the envelope. Because too much heat will melt the chemistry. Many of you may have experienced this, such as putting your ID card in a plastic-covered compartment for easy identification. But after using it for a long time Images or letters on the card will be copied onto the envelope itself.

As for the card frame, there will be no plastic touching the face of the card. but will use the way to insert the card into the slot Then let the edge of the card frame adhere to the different corners of the card. This allows the framed card to be better placed in a sunny location. But there is a disadvantage that the card frame will have more sarcasm. Because the card must be firmly attached within the frame. This causes the edge of the card to be scratched from removing and inserting the card. Therefore, we should choose the appropriate card frame. It is one of the factors that will help the card stay with us for a long time as well.
