chromXpert® laminates

Enhance security and prolong the life of cards with inline lamination

Increase card durability and shield from UV exposure for extended card life

Once personalized, cards can be laminated inline using chromXpert laminates. This heat-sealing film can contain holographic and other Visual Security Elements (VSEs) for enhanced protection. Matica offers a range of standard holographic designs in both patch laminate and continuous film formats. For the ultimate security protection, organisations can opt for a customized holographic laminate with VSEs that are unique to them – this approach is often adopted for government secure documents such as driving licenses and national ID cards.

Another important reason to laminate pre-personalized cards is to increase the durability and extend the life of the card, thanks to the enhanced mechanical and UV resistance of the lamination material. A card laminated with a 1.0 mil (35 micron) patch can have a lifecycle of up to 10 years – a timeframe often mandated for government/citizen ID schemes.

IMPORTANT: Printer warranty subject to the use of chromXpert ribbons.
