Variable data: every card can be different

Each card in your batch can carry unique information. Photos, names, employee numbers, membership IDs and other personalised data can differ per card in the same production run. Barcodes and QR codes can also be printed, with each code carrying different information where required. The same variable data and sequential numbering services also support event badges and visitor passes for a different buyer.

Choosing your specification

Prepare a consistent list of names, numbers and photographs, and check the required fields before sharing data. If the card must work with an electronic access system, confirm the system requirements separately; printed access cards do not imply electronic compatibility.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for PVC ID cards?
Minimum quantities depend on the specification and production process. Send us the quantity, card specification (single/double-sided, gloss/matte, barcode/QR, lanyard slot) and we'll confirm whether the job is commercially workable.
Can every card have different employee data?
Yes. Variable data printing lets each card carry unique information such as photos, names, employee or ID numbers, barcodes and QR codes. Send us a consistent spreadsheet or list with one row per card and column headers matching the layout fields (e.g. Name, Employee_Number, Photo_File).
Can you print barcodes and QR codes on the cards?
Yes. Barcodes and QR codes can be printed on PVC ID cards, and each code can carry different information where required. Confirm the barcode/QR format and data requirements in your enquiry.
Can you do double-sided printing?
Yes. CR80 PVC cards support single or double-sided full-colour printing.
What file formats do you need?
PDF, AI, CDR, or high-resolution JPG/PNG. Print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks is ideal for the card template. For variable data, send a consistent spreadsheet (Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets format) with one row per card and clearly labelled columns for each personalised field (name, number, photo file path).
Can you deliver to multiple addresses on one order?
Yes, multi-location dispatch can be arranged for suitable orders. This is useful for multi-site corporates or institutions issuing ID cards across several locations. Send us the number of destinations, quantities per location and delivery details so logistics and charges can be included in the quotation.
What size and material are your PVC ID cards?
CR80 format, 85.6 × 54mm, in 0.76mm PVC.
What printing and finish options are there?
Digital full colour, single or double sided, with a gloss or matte finish and an optional lanyard slot.
Who orders ID cards from you?
Corporates, factories, schools, colleges, institutions, events and other organisations.
Can I see a sample with my branding?
Yes. For PVC ID cards, a sample can be produced using your branding where appropriate.
