FAQ
What is the primary use of the Fargo 81750 UltraCard?
The Fargo 81750 UltraCard is designed as a blank ID card for encoding magnetic stripe data and printing personalized identification badges. It is commonly used for employee access control, student IDs, membership cards, and visitor passes in corporate, educational, and institutional settings.
Are these cards compatible with standard card printers?
Yes, these cards are compatible with most standard card printers that support CR80-sized cards. The 2.13" x 3.38" dimensions and 30 mil thickness align with industry standards for dye-sublimation, resin thermal, and inkjet printing technologies, ensuring reliable performance in encoding and printing workflows.
What material are these ID cards made from?
The cards are made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a durable plastic material that offers resistance to wear, cracking, and fading. PVC provides a smooth surface for high-quality printing and ensures the magnetic stripe maintains integrity over repeated use in readers.
Can these cards be used for both encoding and printing?
Yes, the Fargo UltraCard supports both magnetic stripe encoding and surface printing. The magnetic stripe allows for data storage on tracks compatible with access control systems, while the printable PVC surface accepts text, logos, photos, and barcodes for visual identification.
What does the 500-pack quantity include?
The 500-pack includes 500 blank white ID cards packaged in a box. This bulk quantity is cost-effective for organizations issuing large volumes of badges, reducing per-card costs and minimizing the frequency of reorders for card inventory management.
Are these cards suitable for outdoor or high-wear environments?
While the PVC material offers good durability for everyday indoor use, these cards are not specifically rated for extreme outdoor conditions or prolonged exposure to moisture. For high-wear environments, consider additional protective measures like lamination or badge holders to extend card lifespan.
