UltraCard Stock

Due to the importance of using high-quality blank cards, a factory-approved card stock called
UltraCard™ is available and recommended for best results.
UltraCard stock has a glossy PVC laminate on top and bottom and is optically inspected to provide
the cleanest, most scratch and debris-reduced cards possible.
Two types of these cards are available: UltraCard and UltraCard Premium.
•
UltraCard stock has a PVC core and offers medium card durability.
•
Recommended: UltraCard Premium stock has a 40% polyester core and offers high durability.
Both types of UltraCards produce printed images with a glossy, photo-quality finish.
