Buying Guide

Confirm printer compatibility

Verify your badge printer accepts CR80 or CR8030 cards and 30 mil thickness to ensure reliable feeding and printing

Choose the right card thickness

30 mil PVC cards balance stiffness and flexibility for visitor badges; thicker stock lasts longer but may not fit all feeders

Bulk pack size vs. usage

Match pack counts (commonly 500) to your visitor volume to avoid excess inventory or frequent reorders

Look for blank, printable surface

A clean, PVC printable face improves print clarity and reduces waste from misprints when creating visitor passes

Compare brands and ratings

Consider brand reputation and customer ratings—higher-rated options can indicate consistent card quality and fewer printer issues
