Introduction

 

In the world of high-security plastic cards, materials matter. Whether it's a government-issued ID, a driver's license, or a financial card, the durability and security of the overlay determine how long your information stays protected and tamper-proof. That's where 0.05-0.25mm Polycarbonate PC Laserable Overlays come into play. These overlays offer a seamless blend of flexibility, clarity, and resistance-perfect for laser engraving and long-term use.

Understanding Polycarbonate as a Material

 

Key Properties of Polycarbonate

 

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer known for:

  • High impact resistance

  • Excellent transparency

  • Resistance to heat and flame

  • Dimensional stability

It's like the superhero of card materials-strong, clear, and long-lasting.
 

 

Why Polycarbonate is Preferred for Card Overlays

 

Compared to materials like PVC or PETG, PC overlays offer:

  • Better security integration (laser engraving, chip compatibility)

  • Greater lifespan

  • Superior environmental resistance

Overview of PC Laserable Overlay

 

Definition and Functionality

 

A PC laserable overlay is a transparent or matte layer applied to the surface of a plastic card. It enables:

  • Permanent laser engraving

  • Enhanced security features

  • Protection against wear and tampering

 

 

Thickness Range: 0.05mm to 0.25mm Explained

 

The overlay is available in various thicknesses:

0.05mm - Ultra-thin, great for layering multiple security films

0.1mm - Balanced, used in general ID and financial cards

0.25mm - Heavy-duty, suitable for government and long-term use

 

 

Transparent vs. Matte Finishes

 

Transparent: Best for vibrant, visible images

Matte: Offers anti-glare and anti-scratch properties

Long-Term Image and Text Retention

 

Laser-engraved images don't fade over time like printed ink.

 

Eco-Friendly and Recyclable Features

 

Polycarbonate can be recycled, reducing the environmental footprint.
 

 

 

Role in Security and Personalization

 

Laser Engraving Capabilities

 

Laser personalization is permanent, tamper-proof, and doesn't require ink.

 

Compatibility with Smart Chips and RFID

 

PC overlays seamlessly work with contact/contactless chips.

 

Anti-Counterfeit Technology

 

Overlays can integrate holograms, UV patterns, and other security layers.
 

 

Thickness Variations and Their Use Cases

 

When to Use 0.05mm

 

Ideal for multi-layer structures and cards requiring extra lamination films.

 

Advantages of 0.1mm

 

Best for regular ID cards with moderate wear and tear.

 

Best Applications for 0.25mm

 

Heavy-duty use: international passports, and resident permits.
