CHOOSE PRINTER/ENCODER
Print, encode
and laminate
your ID cards
Now that you’ve invested the time to
develop a custom design for your ID cards,
it’s important to choose the right card
printer/encoder to help bring that design to
life. If your card has simple magnetic stripe
technology, or no electronics technology
at all, consider traditional direct-to-card
(DTC ® ) printing technology. If your card has
embedded electronics, or if image quality
is of the utmost importance, consider High
Definition Printing ™ (HDP ® ) technology.
Regardless of your card design, there
are numerous printing, encoding and
laminating options available to meet your
on-demand needs.

design to life.
