The Unmatched Advantages of Polycarbonate Smart ID Cards

In the evolving landscape of identification technology, polycarbonate (PC) materials has emerged as the qualitative materials for smart ID cards, replacing traditional PVC and PETG materials. As a pioneer with 20 years of experience in smart card manufacturing, Zhanfeng Smart Card is good at leverages this advanced material to deliver solutions trusted globally. Here' s why PC smart ID cards stand out:

1. Exceptional Durability for Long-Term Use

Unlike PVC cards that crack after 2-3 years or PETG variants that degrade in extreme conditions, PC samrt ID cards boast a 5-10 year lifespan. Their abilities of high toughness resists bending, scratches, and temperature fluctuations from -40℃ to 85℃, make them ideal for daily use scenarios like border control and employee access. Hong Kong' s Immigration Department adopted PC smart IDs in 2018, reporting minimal wear even after years of frequent e-channel usage — proof of their reliability.

2. High-Level Security Against Counterfeiting

PC' s unique properties enable integrated security features that are nearly impossible to replicate. Laser-engraved photos and data embedded in multiple card layers prevent tampering, while options like Kinegram's optical effects or Paragon ID' s Corelam® technology add visible anti-fraud markers. South Africa' s national eID program chose PC cards with Infineon' s encrypted chips to secure citizen data, cutting identity fraud by 60%. For governments and enterprises, this translates to uncompromised trust of polycarbonate materials.

3. Versatile Functionality for Modern Needs

PC cards support both contact and contactless chip interfaces, enabling seamless interactions like e-gate immigration, library access, and cashless payments. Malaysia' s 2026 MyKad upgrade to PC material emphasizes this versatility, integrating driver' s license and health records into a single card. At Zhanfeng, we customize these capabilities—from RFID antennas for access control to biometric data storage—tailored to your industry. You can solve all the production problems of your customized polycarbonate ID cards in one stop.
