ID card lamination is often associated with large government projects like driver's licenses or national ID cards, where cards are used for many years. In addition to this, lamination is now increasing in popularity for many types of ID card applications. So, what is it for?

Lamination works by applying, at high temperature, a thick plastic overlay to the ID card after it has been printed. Most laminators offer two thicknesses of lamination film, 0.6 mil and 1.0 mil. In addition, ‘thin' lamination films are also now available; these can provide holographic patterns for visual security, but are less suitable where card protection against wear is required.

Lamination has these benefits: ·

Increases card life to 10,000's of swipes, so it is good for high-use applications like airports or factories where cards may be swiped many times per day.

For applications where cards are removed from wallets or purses several times a day, lamination prevents card wear.

The lamination layer can include fine-detail holographic patterns, for the ultimate in card security. These holographic patterns can be standard (available off-the-shelf) but are more often customized to an organization's needs.
