The Dyestar C-A7-DB is a high-specification PVC card featuring a deep, sophisticated Dark Blue finish. Unlike standard cards that are simply surface-tinted, these are manufactured with a solid coloured core. This ensures the rich navy pigment is consistent throughout the entire card body, maintaining a seamless, professional appearance even if the edges become worn or the card is frequently used in swipe-readers and access control systems.

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.

• Authoritative Dark Blue Finish: A deep, professional navy hue that offers a distinguished background for corporate branding, executive memberships, and high-security 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 to ensure high-definition printing while protecting the longevity of your ID printer's printhead.

Primary Applications

The C-A7-DB is a versatile solution for UK organisations requiring a prestigious visual identity or clear colour-coded security:

• Corporate & Executive ID: A premier choice for professional identification in the legal, financial, and security sectors.

• VIP & Tiered Membership: Ideally suited for "Platinum" or "Elite" tiers in health clubs, professional bodies, and alumni associations.

• Security & Access Control: Perfect for colour-coding specific access levels (e.g., dark blue for "Management", "Security", or "Restricted Access").

• Education & Faculty Cards: Frequently used by UK universities for staff and faculty identification cards to differentiate them from student media.

• Bespoke Gift Cards: A sophisticated alternative to white plastic, adding significant perceived value to retail gift card products.

Printing Advice for Dark Blue Cards

The Dyestar C-A7-DB is compatible with all leading ID card printers, including Magicard, Zebra, and Evolis. For the most professional results on this deep base, we recommend:

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

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

3. Edge-to-Edge Quality: Because of 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.
