The Evolis C8001 is a pack of premium matte black PVC cards designed specifically for the retail, hospitality, and food industries. These cards are the industry standard for creating professional "chalkboard-style" price tags and labels. When used with a white or metallic ribbon, they produce a high-contrast, elegant aesthetic that is far superior to traditional paper labels.

Engineered for durability and hygiene, these cards are food-safe (ISEGA certified), making them ideal for direct contact with fresh produce. The matte finish is not only stylish but also practical, as it reduces glare from overhead shop lighting, ensuring your prices and allergen information remain legible from every angle.

Printer Compatibility

While these cards are the primary choice for the Edikio price tag range, they are compatible with all standard Evolis desktop printers and many other card printer brands:

• Evolis Edikio (Access, Flex, and Duplex)

• Evolis Zenius / Zenius Expert

• Evolis Primacy / Primacy 2

• Evolis Badgy100 / Badgy200

Key Features & Benefits

• Sophisticated Aesthetic: Provides a modern, premium backdrop for white or silver text, mimicking the classic appearance of traditional slate or hand-written chalkboards.

• Certified Food-Safe: Complies with strict food-contact regulations, allowing you to place these cards directly onto meats, cheeses, or bakery items without risk of contamination.

• Anti-Glare Matte Finish: The surface is specially treated to prevent harsh light reflections, ensuring clarity in brightly lit retail counters or refrigerated display cases.

• Standard CR80 Format: Features the exact dimensions of a standard bank card (85.6mm x 54mm), fitting all standard card holders, magnetic spikes, and display clips.

• Hygienic & Waterproof: Unlike paper or laminated labels, these solid PVC cards are waterproof and can be quickly wiped clean and sanitised with food-safe products.

Typical Applications

Handling & Printing Advice

To achieve the most striking results, we recommend using these cards with the Evolis RCT015NAA White Monochrome Ribbon. To maintain a pristine, smudge-free display, handle the cards by the edges to avoid leaving natural skin oils on the matte surface. For users in food environments, remember to perform a regular cleaning cycle on your printer to prevent ambient flour or dust from affecting print quality.
