Evolis Premium Red: 85.6mm x 54mm PVC Cards (Pack of 100)

The Evolis C4301 features a bold, mirror-finish red surface that is the industry standard for high-priority identification and safety-critical roles. Manufactured to strict ISO CR80 standards, these cards offer an exceptionally flat and smooth surface. This precision engineering allows the thermal printhead to transfer ink with absolute consistency, preventing "pitting" and protecting expensive internal printer components from premature wear and tear.

Key Product Highlights

• Vibrant Red Finish: A solid, striking red hue that provides maximum visibility for security, emergency, or promotional applications.

• Standard CR80 Size: Precisely cut to 85.60mm x 53.98mm, ensuring a perfect fit for all standard UK wallets, badge reels, and lanyards.

• Graphics-Grade PVC: Constructed from 100% virgin PVC, offering a durable yet flexible finish that resists snapping even with frequent daily use.

• High Trust Quality: Vacuum-sealed in packs of 100 within a sterile environment to ensure the cards remain dust-free and ready for high-definition printing.

Primary Applications

The C4301 is a vital tool for UK organisations requiring clear, colour-coded identification systems:

• Security & Access Control: Frequently used to identify "Restricted Access" personnel, "Fire Wardens", or temporary visitors who require close supervision.

• Emergency Services & Safety: The definitive choice for First Aider badges or emergency response team identification within large corporate or industrial sites.

• Food Retail & Edikio Displays: Ideal for highlighting "Special Offers", "Hot/Spicy" items, or specific allergens in bakeries, butchers, and delis.

• Event Management: Quickly differentiate between staff tiers (e.g., red for "Security" or "Production") at high-profile festivals and conferences.

• Membership & Loyalty: A popular choice for "Elite" or "Red Tier" loyalty schemes in the gaming, hospitality, and leisure sectors.

Printing & Handling Advice

To achieve a professional, high-contrast finish on the red mirror surface, we recommend:

1. Monochrome Ribbons: For the highest legibility, use a White monochrome ribbon. White text on a red background provides exceptional clarity for names, roles, and barcodes.

2. Black Monochrome: While black can be used, it offers lower contrast than white; it is best suited for small text or internal serial numbers.

3. Hygienic Maintenance: The non-porous PVC surface is moisture-resistant and can be safely cleaned with food-safe sanitisers, making them ideal for retail food displays.

4. Handling: To prevent "ink refusal" spots, always handle cards by their edges. Natural oils from fingerprints can prevent the thermal ribbon from adhering correctly to the red surface.
