What Is a PVC Card and What are its Benefits?


PVC cards are a type of card that is made from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. This means they are not made from paper or cardboard like some other kinds of cards but rather made with plastic materials that are able to last longer without wearing out or becoming damaged easily.


They come in many different sizes and shapes and can be used for identification purposes as well as other things such as entry control, security passes, credit cards, hotel room keys, and more.


PVC cards are produced by heating polyvinyl chloride to high temperatures. The cards come in various thicknesses, colors, and shapes depending on the need of the person ordering them. Polyvinyl chloride is known to be a very durable material which makes it great for use as membership cards or credit cards.

The benefits of PVC cards

  • PVC cards can be used in a variety of settings like ID cards, business cards, membership cards, etc. Most businesses rely on using this type of card because of how versatile it can be.
  1. PVC cards are durable enough to last a long time without getting worn out. One thing that sets these types of cards apart from other forms of payment is how durable they are – the frequency at which cards break are significantly lower than plastic cards.


In addition, PVC cards are also waterproof, which means that they will not succumb to water damage, and will continue to remain operational when they come in contact with water. 

  1. PVC cards are a great way to store information. They are used in business, schools, and personal applications. PVC cards can be customized for any occasion or event.  They come in many different sizes and colors to suit your needs.
