Plain White ID Card for Professional Badge Printing
Blank White ID Cards in Standard CR80 Format
A plain white ID card is an unprinted PVC card used to produce employee badges, student credentials, membership cards, visitor passes, and other forms of visual identification.
These blank white ID cards use the standard CR80 format and have a smooth surface for printing photographs, names, logos, barcodes, QR codes, and serial numbers with compatible ID-card equipment.
The standard card is chipless. Magnetic-stripe, inkjet-coated, and 125 kHz RFID configurations are available separately for projects requiring additional printing or access-control functions.

Which Blank ID Card Configuration Should You Choose?
| Card Configuration | Main Difference | Suitable Use |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Plain White ID Card | Chipless glossy PVC card | Employee badges, student cards, membership cards, and visual identification |
| Inkjet-Coated Blank Card | Surface designed for compatible inkjet ink | On-demand printing with supported inkjet card printers and trays |
| Magnetic-Stripe Card | Includes a HiCo or LoCo data stripe | Legacy access, membership, hotel, or account systems |
| 125 kHz RFID Card | Contains a proximity chip such as TK4100 | Compatible access-control and attendance systems |
| Factory-Printed PVC Card | Delivered with fixed or variable artwork already printed | Organizations that do not personalize cards on site |
Choose the card according to the printer and credential system already in use.
A standard glossy blank ID card should not be used with an inkjet printer unless it has the required ink-receptive coating. An RFID version must also match the reader frequency, chip type, and credential format.
How Plain White ID Cards Are Printed and Issued
- Organizations first create a card layout containing elements such as a logo, photograph, name, department, and identification number.
- The design is printed using a compatible ID-card printer. Barcodes or QR codes may be added for record lookup, attendance, or internal workflows.
- When electronic access is required, a magnetic-stripe or RFID-enabled card is linked to the relevant employee, student, member, or visitor record.
- Sample cards should be tested with the intended printer, ribbon, reader, badge holder, and management software before large-scale issuance.
