Card Thickness

The thickness of plastic cards is an important factor to consider when it comes to gifting, business, loyalty, membership, credit and RFID cards. Depending on the type of card and its purpose, the thickness of the card can have a direct impact on its effectiveness. At Colourfast, we understand the importance of card thickness and can provide you with the right plastic cards for your needs.

Gift cards are becoming increasingly popular for special occasions. To ensure that your gift card stands out from the rest, you should consider the thickness of the card. Gift cards typically range from 12mil to 30mil in thickness. The lower end of the range is great for cards that are used for short-term purposes, whereas the thicker cards are better suited for cards that need to be more durable.

Business cards are the perfect way to introduce yourself and your business. When it comes to business cards, the thickness of the card is important for several reasons. Generally, business cards are printed on cards that are 12mil or 0.25mm thick. This thickness allows for a professional look while also having enough durability to be passed around.

Loyalty cards are a great way to reward customers for their loyalty. The thickness of the loyalty card is important as these cards often need to be durable enough to last for the duration of the loyalty program. The best loyalty cards range from 20mil to 30mil or 0.5mm to 0.76mm in thickness. The thicker cards are better suited for loyalty programs that require the card to be stamped or punched.

Membership cards are typically used to provide access to exclusive areas or events. The thickness of the card is important as it needs to be strong enough to withstand regular use. The most common thickness for membership cards is 0.76mm. While this thickness is durable, it is not too thick that it becomes hard to carry in a wallet or purse.

Credit cards are an essential part of many people's lives. Credit cards can vary in thickness, but the most common thickness is 30mil or 0.76mm. This thickness is strong enough to withstand regular use while still being thin enough to fit in a wallet or purse.

RFID cards are becoming increasingly popular, especially for access control. The thickness of the card should be taken into consideration, as the card needs to be thick enough to prevent the RFID chip from being damaged. The most common thickness for RFID cards is 30mil or 0.76mm. This thickness provides the necessary strength and durability to protect the RFID chip from being damaged.
