The Dyestar C-A7-BY is a high-specification PVC card featuring a rich, deep burgundy finish. Unlike standard cards that are merely surface-printed, these are manufactured with a solid coloured core. This ensures the deep wine-red 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, wallets, or plastic holders.

Key Product Highlights

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

• Prestigious Burgundy Finish: A sophisticated and deep hue that offers a distinguished background for executive branding, high-tier memberships, 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-BY is an excellent choice for UK organisations looking to convey a sense of prestige, tradition, and exclusivity:

• Executive & VIP Membership: Ideally suited for "Diamond" or "Elite" tiers in health clubs, private member associations, and prestigious alumni groups.

• Heritage & Academic Identification: Frequently used by traditional UK universities, independent schools, and historical societies to match their official school or crest colours.

• Hospitality & Fine Dining: A sophisticated choice for staff ID and loyalty cards in high-end hotels and restaurants where a warm, rich tone reflects the environment.

• Specialised Role Identification: Use for specific senior designations, such as "Dean," "Director," or "Senior Fire Marshal," to ensure instant visual distinction.

• Bespoke Gift Cards: An elegant alternative to standard white plastic, adding significant perceived value to retail gift card products.

Printing Advice for Burgundy Cards

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

1. Metallic Monochrome Ribbons: Using a Gold or Silver resin ribbon on a burgundy background produces a regal, ultra-premium look that is exceptionally sharp and prestigious.

2. White Resin Ribbons: For modern branding and high legibility, a white monochrome ribbon offers a crisp, clean contrast that is easy to read from a distance.

3. Edge Protection: Thanks to the matching coloured core, these cards are the premier choice for high-use environments where edge-wear on a standard white-core card would otherwise look untidy or unprofessional.
