EXTEND CARD LIFE AND PROTECT IMAGES
Durability supplies increase the usable life of personalized cards and ID documents, minimizing
the need for reissuance and lowering overall costs. Datacard high-quality topcoats, laminates
and thin film overlays protect images, prevent fading and defend against abrasion, moisture and
chemical attack.
DURABILITY SOLUTIONS
Topcoats
Thin, translucent, edge-to-edge topcoats protect bar codes, signatures, logos and images against
abrasion, chemical attack and plasticizers. They are compatible with all card personalization

UV-Curable Topcoats
Developed exclusively by Datacard, this patented formulation uses an advanced UV-curing
process to provide up to four times the durability and wear resistance of standard topcoats.
Laminates
Laminates offer the strongest defense against abrasion and chemical attack. Our unique
formulation provides optimal tamper- and moisture-resistance, exceeding ISO 7810 and 10373
requirements. Our laminates also meet stringent ANSI INCITS 322 card structure integrity testing
standards, with an innovative design that provides the largest area of protection.
