Card materials

At Colourfast, we know that the material used for a card plays a crucial role in the overall quality and functionality of the product. This is why we offer a variety of card materials, PVC being our standard one which is manufactured primarily of recycled PVC material, a selection of both paper and plastic cards to cater to the diverse needs of our customers. Whether producing gift cards, coupon cards, business cards, loyalty cards or membership cards, you have the choice of picking the material that will best fit your needs. Let's explore these two primary materials to understand their unique characteristics, benefits, and applications.
