Hot news

PVC cards
production in IPES

Thanks to a joint workshop with CEC Tokyo, our experts from IPES in Bratislava learned about a new manufacturer of PVC substrates.

We tested it in the production of plastic cards and it paid off. The result is really worth it!

Our PVC cards exceed ISO standards for delamination.

Our unique AccurioJet KM1eHD printing machine stands behind the great results, we laminated the cards using the MGI PressCard Pro® and cut them with MGI PunchCard Pro.

This way, we have the whole process of manufacturing and embellishing plastic cards under control.

How do we make them?

AccurioJet KM1eHD

Our flagship for printing on various substrates (including PVC film).
The most important feature in multilayer laminated cards is the connection strength of the transparent top protective film and the design printed film. The requirements for connection strength are set by ISO/IEC 7810:2019.

At IPES we have printed the test design of cards with various combinations of color coverage, which should best represent a diverse portfolio of customer designs.
