What Is an ID Card Printer Used For?

An ID card printer is used in organizations of all sizes to print ID cards and badges for employees, students, and visitors. It enables businesses to create cards quickly, securely, and with a high level of accuracy.

ID card printers are used in many different industries and institutions, however, they’re especially popular in hospitals, corporations, and schools, as well as law enforcement and government agencies.


How to Find the ID Card Printer for Your Needs?

Before you buy an ID badge printer for your organization, ask yourself:

  • Which type of cards do you want to print?
  • Which card formats do you want to print?
  • How secure do you need your ID cards to be?
  • Do you need data storage on your card?
  • How long should your ID cards last?
  • Do you want to laminate your ID card?
  • Do you want to print a hologram?

After determining what you need, you can research ID card printer specifications, e.g. speed and performance, capacity, software, and connectivity.

3 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing an ID Card Printer

When deciding on a new ID card printer, think of it as an investment and consider the following points.

1. Don’t buy a badge printer based on the price alone. There’s no denying that budget is important, however, make sure you buy an PVC card printer that will fulfill your printing requirements. Even if it means spending a bit more.

2. Don’t only consider your current printing needs. Is it likely that in the future you’ll be requiring additional functions on your ID cards? Then, acquire a PVC printer that you can easily upgrade.

3. Don’t buy an ID card printer that can’t handle your security needs. If your organization has to follow high-security standards, invest in a specialized card printer that will protect your data and hardware.


ID Card Printers at IDenticard.com – Secure, Reliable & Easy-to-Use

At IDenticard.com, we offer various direct-to-card as well as retransfer ID card printers from renowned brands. As the name already suggests, direct-to-card printers print directly onto the surface of a card, while retransfer printers first apply the design onto a clear film which is then thermally transferred to the blank card.

Regarding the printing capability, you can choose between single-sided or dual-sided ID card printers. A single-sided model is a good option for organizations with smaller budgets and a limited workspace that want to create professional-looking one-sided credentials.

With a dual-sided ID card printer, on the other hand, you can add more information to your ID cards, which can be useful for employee badges or membership cards. Additionally, you can save time and effort by printing both sides in one pass.

Browse through our printer categories and find the ideal model for your business.

  • Value Printers: Value ID card printers are ideal for smaller businesses planning to print up to 500 credentials per year, and do not require advanced security or card encoding options.
  • Performance Printers: If your organization prints 500-2,000 PVC cards annually, these printers are the right solution. They also include security features such as watermarks, or overlays.
  • Security Printers: From driver’s licenses, and financial cards to employee ID badges—these robust and very reliable ID card printers are designed for large companies that issue over 2,000 cards annually.
  • Magicard Card Printers: High-resolution printing, smart card encoding options, and patented visual security Holokote® watermarks make it impossible to counterfeit ID cards. With a badge printer from Magicard, you’ll get reliability and performance at an affordable price.
