The thickness craft of PVC card process
The production of custom printed PVC cards are not only important for various processes, but also its thickness cannot be ignored. The international standard of bank card is 0.76mm. The thickness commonly used by customers include: 0.15mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.84mm, 0.9mm, etc.
PVC card, just as the name implies, is made of PVC materials. The characteristics of PVC materials are: lightweight, heat insulation, heat preservation, moisture-proof, flame retardant, simple construction, etc.
Common custom printed PVC cards are of 0.76mm thickness, which can be reflected on the card surface no matter what craft you use, such as convex code, spray code, marking code, bronzing gold, silver stamping, labeling, magnetic strip, bar code, laser mark and other personalized craft.
Of course, there will also be thinner than this to make membership card, VIP card, magnetic stripe card, barcode card,ect. But if the thickness is less than 0.5mm (including 0.5mm), some of its craft will not be adopted.
For example, the convex codes cannot be realized on these thicknesses, because the convex codes press numbers on the cards with high impact pressure. If these thicknesses are punched with convex codes, the problem of cracking will be caused.
Therefore, if the custom printed PVC cards are made with a thin process, it cannot be convex. Of course, if the card is too thick, for example, 0.9mm or above, the convex code craft also cannot be adopted.
Other crafts can generally be achieved in any thickness, so when making PVC cards, special attention should be paid to the thickness of cards, and appropriate thickness should be selected according to the functions of the products you want to achieve.
