FAQ
What are the dimensions of these Zebra Premier ID Cards?
Each card measures 2.12 inches in width by 3.38 inches in length, which is equivalent to 53.85 mm by 85.85 mm. These dimensions conform to the CR-80 standard, the most common size for ID badges and access cards, ensuring compatibility with standard printers, encoders, and card holders.
Are these cards compatible with my existing card printer?
These Zebra Premier ID Cards are designed for compatibility with Zebra's Premier series printers and most industrial card printers that support PVC media. They work with direct thermal and dye-sublimation printing technologies. Verify your printer's specifications for supported media types and thickness to ensure proper feeding and print quality.
What material are these ID cards made from?
The cards are constructed from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a durable plastic widely used in ID card manufacturing.

Yes, these printable PVC cards support printing on one or both sides, depending on your printer's capabilities. The white surface provides a uniform background for high-contrast printing of text, barcodes, logos, and photographs. For dual-sided printing, ensure your printer is configured for two-sided operation and use appropriate print settings for PVC media.

This product is sold in a 500-pack, making it ideal for medium to large organizations that require a substantial supply of blank ID cards.
