The Dyestar C-A7-PUL is a high-specification PVC card featuring a deep, vibrant purple finish. Unlike budget cards that are merely surface-dyed, these cards are manufactured with a solid coloured core. This ensures that the rich purple pigment is consistent throughout the entire card body, maintaining a professional and seamless appearance even if the edges become worn through frequent use in card readers or wallets.

Key Product Highlights

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

• Vibrant Purple Finish: A striking and sophisticated hue that offers a distinctive background for luxury branding, VIP status, or specific department 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 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-PUL is an excellent choice for UK organisations looking to convey a sense of prestige, creativity, or specific role identification:

• VIP & Tiered Membership: Frequently used for "Diamond" or "Elite" tiers in health clubs, boutiques, and private member associations.

• Creative Sector Branding: A popular choice for marketing agencies, galleries, and fashion retailers seeking a non-traditional, stylish card colour.

• Role Identification: Colour-code specific staff roles, such as "Mental Health First Aider" or "Event Coordinator," for quick visual recognition.

• Education & Student Unions: Used for specific society memberships or student executive badges to stand out from standard campus IDs.

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

Printing Advice for Purple Cards

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

1. Monochrome Printing: For the highest contrast and legibility, use a white or silver resin ribbon. The light-on-dark effect is exceptionally sharp and modern.

2. Gold Metallic Ribbons: Using a gold monochrome ribbon on a purple background creates a regal, ultra-premium look ideal for high-end VIP cards.

3. Full-Colour Overprinting: While standard colour (YMCKO) ribbons can be used, the purple base will significantly alter the appearance of printed photos. This method is best used for dark logos or text-heavy designs.
