The standard thickness of PVC-coated overlay film used for plastic cards typically ranges between 40 micron to 150 micron (µm), depending on the specific application and card type.
The most popular thickness of PVC-coated overlay film are 50 micron, 60 micron, 80 micron and 100micron.
Overlay films are laminated onto the printed core layer using heat and pressure, so proper matching of thickness with core material is essential.
PVC coated overlay film is a transparent layer that is applied to the surface of a plastic card. It acts as a protective barrier, shielding the underlying card from scratches, fading, and moisture. The strong coated adhesive ensures that the overlay firmly adheres to the card, providing long-lasting protection.
One side is a smooth surface, another side is coved with glue.
PVC coated overlay film are commonly used in the production of identification cards, such as driver's licenses, ID cards, and access cards. These overlays consist of a thin layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material that is applied on top of the printed card surface. The overlay serves as a protective coating, enhancing the durability and longevity of the card.
If you're working on a specific card project, I can help recommend the ideal overlay thickness based on durability, security, and printing method.
