Print-ready files for PVC ID cards
Design your PVC ID cards once, fill them from Excel, and send your printer exactly what it needs — true CR80 size, CMYK colour and 300 or 600 DPI resolution.
CR80 true size
Every card is 85.6 × 54 mm, the standard PVC card size, horizontal or vertical.
CMYK PDF
Export a CMYK PDF for print shops and offset / PVC printers that ask for CMYK files.
300 or 600 DPI
Sharp text and photos at print-shop resolution; PNG files carry the DPI so they open at the right size.
Front + back
Two-sided cards with the back sheet mirrored so it lines up for duplex printing.
Bulk from Excel
Hundreds of personalised PVC cards from one sheet — names, photos, QR codes and barcodes filled in automatically.
Transparent QR & signature
QR codes, barcodes and scanned signatures sit cleanly on coloured card backgrounds.
