Most cards are made from PVC in the standard CR80 size (85.6 x 54 mm), about 0.76 mm thick. They can carry a printed photo, text and logos on both sides. For extra function, you can add a barcode or QR code, a magnetic stripe, a proximity chip (125 kHz) or an NFC/MIFARE chip (13.56 MHz). The right option depends on your access control system.
Print Near Me prints from your staff or student list so every card has the right name, photo and number. We do not produce or copy government-issued IDs such as the Emirates ID; our cards are for company, school and event use. For lanyards, badge holders and name badges see our Lanyards and Badges pages.
All cards are CR80 unless stated. Personalisation can be done from a spreadsheet.
