📌 What “HID Blank PVC White Cards” Usually Refer To

1. HID Ultra Card Blank PVC Cards

These are blank PVC cards with no embedded chip or magnetic stripe, designed for printing photo IDs, membership cards, visitor badges, loyalty cards, etc. They are not RFID proximity cards, but plain PVC cards made by HID Global.

• 📏 Standard credit-card size (CR80, ~85.6 × 54 mm).

• 🧾 Blank white surface optimized for high-quality printing with card printers.

• 🖨️ Compatible with most direct-to-card (DTC) and retransfer printing systems (HID Fargo, Zebra, Magi card, etc.).                                                                                                                 💳 Useful for ID badges, loyalty cards, event passes without any embedded technology.

Example: HID Ultra Card – blank white PVC cards (pack of 500) used for printing custom graphics.

📌 What They Are Not

If you were expecting a proximity access control card (like HID Prox cards with a frequency chip for doors), a plain blank PVC card does not contain that technology. It’s just printable plastic with no chip or stripe. For proximity cards, you need a HID Prox card or compatible blank Prox card with embedded RFID.

🛠️ How to Use Blank PVC Cards

📸 Printing

• Use an ID card printer (e.g., Fargo, Zebra, Magi card).

• Print your design — company logo, name, photo, barcodes, etc.

🧾 Encoding (if you add tech later)

• If you want these cards to become access cards, magnetic stripe cards, or RFID cards, you’d need:

  • Mag stripe encoder for magnetic stripe cards.

  • RFID chip insertion/embedding technology if adding proximity/NFC tags — this isn’t part of plain PVC cards by default.
