SKU: CAR419 FAQs What are Poly Composite Cards (PCC)? Poly Composite Cards (PCC) are high-performance ID cards engineered for durability and heat resistance. They are constructed with multiple layers, typically featuring a PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) core for strength and heat tolerance, and PVC outer layers that provide a smooth surface for high-quality printing. This layered design makes PCCs especially suitable for retransfer printing, which involves high heat to fuse the printed image onto the card. Unlike standard PVC cards, Poly Composite Cards maintain their shape and integrity during the retransfer process, making them ideal for high-volume or high-security applications. What are Polyvinyl Chloride Cards (PVC)? Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a synthetic plastic polymer made from vinyl chloride monomers. It’s one of the most widely used plastics globally, found in products ranging from plumbing pipes to credit cards. In the ID card industry, PVC is valued for its affordability, printability, and flexibility, making it a popular choice for employee badges, student IDs, and loyalty cards. PVC Cards are compatible with most desktop card printers, however, they are not recommended for retransfer printing, as they can warp or deform under the high heat used in that process. Do I need PCC or PVC cards? If your card printing setup includes a retransfer printer or you need cards that can withstand frequent use and environmental stress, Poly Composite Cards are the superior choice. For general-purpose ID cards in standard office settings, PVC Cards offer excellent value and print quality. What is a signature panel? A signature panel on a blank PVC or PCC card is a specially coated, writable area, usually white, designed so the cardholder can physically sign the card with a pen without smearing. What is the purpose of a signature panel? The purpose of a signature panel is to add a layer of visual verification and personalisation to an ID Card, Visitor Pass or Membership Card. Staff can then compare the signature on the card with a signature held on file. Signature Panels add a low-cost, physical security layer to cards, making them non-transferable.
