Zebra's Patented Waste-Free Stock and Custom Laminates Deliver Durability and Security
| Benefits of Laminates |
All printed plastic cards containing personal information, which is especially important in Government and Higher Education markets, are subject to counterfeiting, alteration, duplication and tampering. A protective film—commonly referred to as a laminate—can be applied to cards during the printing process, adding an extra layer of security and extending card life up to 5-10 years.
| Stock Laminates |
Zebra’s stock laminates give your printed cards security, protection and extended card life for a range of card applications in various industries—including Higher Education, Government, Hospitality, Retail, Manufacturing, Transportation and Logistics, Healthcare and Service Bureaus.
Stock laminates give you:
- Tamper-resistant and anti-counterfeiting holographic features to protect against alteration and duplication.
- Protection of card images, colors and printed data against fading due to UV rays and from scratching due to daily wear and tear.
You can purchase any of Zebra’s clear and holographic stock laminates with:
- No minimum order
- No origination fee
- Fast delivery
| Custom Laminates |
For added security, Zebra laminates can also be embedded with a broad range of customizable security elements including visual holograms, micro-text, UV fluorescent images, guilloche patterns and metallic inks. Customize your laminate order to include your company logo and name or other unique images or text to further prevent tampering or counterfeiting. Partner with Zebra to create art for your design.
Before you place your custom laminate order, please remember:
- Custom laminates have a minimum order quantity of 50 rolls per side per order.
- Standard lead-time for custom orders is up to 12 weeks once the artwork is approved and your purchase order is submitted.
- There is a one-time origination fee per laminate patch design. See your Zebra account representative for details.
For additional information on stock and custom laminates, including design support, please see our Custom Laminates Brochure or contact your Zebra sales representative.
| Retransfer Printing Technology Highlights |
Traditional direct-to-card printers use a printhead that prints through a ribbon directly onto the card. Retransfer printers print onto a flexible, transparent film that is then thermally bonded to the card creating a more durable, scratch-resistant product. This retransfer technology produces images with optimal quality that are more vibrant and saturated, even on uneven card surfaces such as key tag or smart cards.
| Benefits of Zebra's Innovative Retransfer Card Printer |
- Higher image quality with vibrant, rich colors.
- The ability to print on uneven card surfaces such as smart cards.
- True edge-to-edge printing (via over-the-edge printing) with the ZXP 9. Traditional card printers leave a white border at the edges of the card.
- The ability to print on non-PVC cards. Direct- to-card printers require a dye-receiving surface, which is not available on all non-PVC cards.
- More durable and abrasion-resistant cards that don’t require an additional overlay or varnish. Built-in fraud protection with inherently tamper-evident film.
| Advantages of Zebra's Innovative Retransfer Card Printer |
Outstanding Print Quality: Zebra’s exclusive Color Predictive Technology based on patented image-processing algorithms compensates for image errors normally caused by high printing speeds—enabling photo-quality images and print resolution even at increased print speeds.
Industry-leading Print Speeds: Zebra achieves print Speeds that exceed any other retransfer printer, and that are comparable to many of the fastest direct-to-card printers on the market today. Zebra’s patented image transfer process applies film to both sides of the card in a single pass, drastically reducing the print time.
Exceptional Cost Savings: The ZXP Series 9 featuring Zebra’s wastefree laminate technology gives you an extremely low cost-per-card operation. Eliminate up to half the typical waste with our linerless media with a single core and no carrier.
