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.
If you're working on a specific card project, I can help recommend the ideal overlay thickness based on durability, security, and printing method.
