Card Laminates and Overlays

Combat card counterfeiting, alteration and duplication with Zebra’s True Secure varnish overlays and laminates. These protective materials prolong card life by preventing image fading and dye-migration and reduce normal wear from handling and frequent card swiping through magnetic stripe readers.

For added security and durability add laminates embedded with additional overt, covert and forensic features. Deter card forgery with Zebra’s customizable levels of card security with various types of holographic, optically variable inks and other security featured laminates to make your card design unique and more secure.
