There are several factors that will drive your choice of plastic card printing material:

Card design features: Some of our great printing features, such as foil stamping, can only be accomplished on the PVC base material. If you have questions about the features we offer, please contact a Cardprinting.us representative via chat or phone and allow them to guide you in your available choices.

Aesthetics: The PVC card looks like your credit card … the same thickness, the same material. Our Composite card has the same thickness as the standard PVC credit card, the same functionality, but because it has a thinner core and a thicker laminate, there are slight differences in the way it looks in comparison.

Cost: Our Composite card tends to be slightly more economical than the PVC card.

Turnaround time: Our Composite card turnaround time is generally 9-11 business days compared to 12-14 business days for the PVC card.

Rush services: As quickly as a two-day turnaround may be available for Composite orders, and expedited orders for PVC may be also available. Please check with a Cardprinting.us representative.
