How to choose
Paper card vs PVC card
- What's the use? Business card, calling card, or appointment card → paper card. Loyalty, gift, event, or ID card → PVC.
- What's the lifetime? Paper cards are short-term. PVC cards last longer and are water-resistant.
- Any extras needed? Foil, spot UV, rounded corners — paper. Magnetic stripe, signature panel, sequential numbering — PVC.
- What's the design? Heavy solid coverage or fine detail — share the artwork and we will recommend a finish.
