The Dyestar C-A7-BZ is a high-specification PVC card designed to provide a rich, metallic bronze finish for professional and prestigious branding. Unlike standard metallic cards that often feature a white middle layer, these are manufactured with a solid coloured core. This ensures the bronze pigment is consistent throughout the entire card body, maintaining a seamless, luxury appearance even if the edges become worn through frequent use in wallets or card readers.

Key Product Highlights

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

• Premium Metallic Finish: A deep, sophisticated bronze hue that offers a distinguished background for tiered membership and executive identification.

• 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 smooth, flat surface specifically engineered for high-definition printing while protecting the life of your ID card printer's printhead.

Primary Applications

The C-A7-BZ is a popular choice for UK organisations looking to convey status, durability, and a classic aesthetic:

• Tiered Membership Schemes: Ideally suited for "Bronze Tier" or "Foundation" level memberships in health clubs, professional bodies, and alumni associations.

• Heritage & Boutique Branding: A sophisticated option for museums, galleries, and historical societies to match traditional or vintage brand identities.

• Event Accreditation: Perfect for "Staff", "Press", or "Delegate" passes at high-profile conferences and festivals where colour-coding is required.

• Bespoke Business Cards: Used by creative agencies and independent professionals to create durable, metallic plastic business cards that make a lasting impression.

• Durable Signage: Often used in the retail and hospitality sectors to create moisture-resistant, high-quality labels or price tags with a premium feel.

Printing Advice for Bronze Cards

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

1. Monochrome Printing: Using a black resin ribbon provides the highest contrast and a sharp, legible look. For an ultra-premium "tonal" design, try using a silver or gold metallic ribbon.

2. White Resin Ribbons: A white monochrome ribbon offers a clean, contemporary contrast that is highly effective for text and barcodes on the darker bronze base.

3. Edge Protection: Because of the matching coloured core, these cards are the best choice for high-use environments where edge-wear on a standard white-core card would otherwise look untidy and diminish the card's premium appeal.
