The Dyestar C-A7-CR is a high-specification PVC card featuring a sophisticated, neutral Cream Tan finish. Unlike standard cards that are simply surface-printed, these cards are manufactured with a solid coloured core. This ensures that the cream pigment is consistent throughout the entire card body, maintaining a seamless, high-end appearance even if the edges become worn through frequent use in card readers or wallets.

Key Product Highlights

• Solid Coloured Core: Eliminates the "white edge" associated with standard printed cards, providing a premium, high-end look across the entire card profile.

• Neutral Cream Tan Finish: A sophisticated and professional hue that offers a classic background for corporate branding, membership schemes, or heritage-style designs.

• Standard CR80 Size: Manufactured to 85.60mm x 53.98mm, ensuring perfect compatibility with all standard UK wallets, badge reels, and cardholders.

• Graphics-Grade PVC: Features a high-quality, smooth surface specifically engineered to ensure crisp print results and to protect the longevity of your ID card printer's printhead.

Primary Applications

The C-A7-CR is an excellent choice for UK organisations looking to convey a sense of tradition, luxury, or professional neutrality:

• Heritage & Boutique Membership: Frequently used by museums, golf clubs, and historical societies to create a classic, "vintage" aesthetic.

• Corporate Identification: A professional alternative to standard white cards, providing a subtle point of difference for staff ID and visitor badges.

• Luxury Hospitality: Ideal for hotel key cards and spa membership cards where a warm, neutral tone better reflects the brand's atmosphere.

• Bespoke Gift Vouchers: A sophisticated choice for high-end retailers, providing a card that feels more like stationery than industrial plastic.

• Role Differentiation: Use as a secondary colour in complex security systems to identify specific access levels or department tiers.

Printing Advice for Cream Cards

The Dyestar C-A7-CR is compatible with all leading ID card printers, including Magicard, Zebra, and Evolis. To achieve the most professional finish, we recommend:

1. Monochrome Printing: For the highest legibility, use a black, chocolate brown, or navy blue resin ribbon. This creates a sharp, classic look that is exceptionally clear.

2. Metallic Finishes: Gold and bronze monochrome ribbons work beautifully on cream cards, creating an ultra-premium, "hot-foiled" effect.

3. Full-Colour Overprinting: Standard colour (YMCKO) ribbons can be used effectively on this light base. The cream background will add a slight warmth to photos and logos, often enhancing the professional "sepia" or classic feel of the design.
