PVC Card Overlay

PVC card overlay is a thin protective film applied to the surface of PVC cards, such as ID cards, membership cards, or access cards. It enhances the card’s durability by protecting against scratches, moisture, UV light, and general wear and tear. Overlays can be clear or embedded with security features like holograms, microtext, or UV patterns to prevent tampering and counterfeiting. Applied through heat or pressure lamination, the overlay also improves print quality and preserves printed information. Available in sheets or rolls, PVC card overlays are essential for producing long-lasting, professional-grade cards used in various sectors including government, education, and corporate.
