Use Composite PET Cards for These Applications
Composite PET cards have a layer of polyester (PET) between two layers of PVC. The composition is 40% Polyester and 60% PVC. The addition of PET makes the card stronger and more durable than a standard card that is 100% PVC.
Composite cards are more flexible which makes them less likely to crack or warp in extreme temperatures. This is the reason composite cards are recommended for use at ski areas or in situations where a customer plans to laminate a card. If you try to laminate a card that is 100% PVC, it will warp due to the high temperature.
Composite cards also work well in high-use applications where cards have a barcode or magnetic stripe used for access control, time and attendance, or cashless payment. Any application that requires frequent card swiping will want to use a composite card. These applications are common with employee badges, student IDs, season passes and membership cards.
