Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 18 micron suitable for ID cards specifically?
The 18-micron thickness provides optimal protection without making the card too thick. It meets ISO/IEC 7810 standards for ID card thickness when applied to standard PVC/PETG card bases.
Can this film withstand frequent card swiping?
Yes, the ≥150 MPa tensile strength and ≥120% elongation ensure excellent resistance to bending and swiping fatigue, tested to 50,000+ swipe cycles.
Is the matte finish anti-glare for photo ID?
Yes, the matte finish significantly reduces glare and reflections, making photo IDs and barcodes easier to read under various lighting conditions.
