Part design:

High-contrast personalization of company ID cards, passes, driver’s licenses and other cards made from Makrofol® ID polycarbonate films with photos, signatures etc. is possible using laser printing. This technique produces a print image of black-and-white or graduated gray tones inside the card that cannot be changed without damaging the card. Makrofol® ID Dyefusion has been developed to enable color personalization of IDs and cards made of polycarbonate. This film comes with a special coating on one side that allows high-quality, cost-effective color printing using standard PVC card printers. An overlay can be applied to the print image to enhance the anti-counterfeiting properties of the card if required. The new film offers all the advantages typically associated with the Makrofol® ID range, such as resistance to repeated bending, minimal distortion and heat resistance.
