HID 1597LGGAN HID Composite Smart Isoprox II Prog F-gloss B-gloss Laser # NO Slot Lifetime W
When your access control deployment requires credential flexibility without the durability compromises of PVC-only cards, composite construction delivers the structural integrity needed for high-traffic facilities. The HID 1597LGGAN combines 125 kHz proximity technology with smart card capabilities in a composite card body engineered for environments where credentials face repeated physical stress—manufacturing plants, distribution centers, universities, and healthcare campuses where cards see constant reader presentations and pocket wear.
Key Features
- Composite card construction provides superior break resistance and longevity compared to standard PVC credentials
- Dual-technology platform supporting both Prox and smart card applications on a single credential
- 125 kHz Isoprox II technology ensures compatibility with legacy HID proximity readers
- Programmable smart card component enables future migration to secure contactless systems without credential replacement
- Glossy finish on both front and back surfaces accepts high-quality photo ID printing and thermal transfer processes
- Laser-engraved numbering provides permanent serialization that won't wear off through daily handling
- No slot design eliminates mechanical attachment points that create structural weak points
- Lifetime warranty backing from HID Global protects against manufacturing defects
The composite construction addresses a common deployment challenge: PVC cards cracking or delaminating in facilities where credentials experience temperature extremes, repeated flex cycles, or extended pocket carry. This matters when you're issuing 500+ credentials to a workforce that cycles through loading docks, cold storage, and outdoor checkpoints multiple times daily. The dual-technology architecture means you can deploy these cards today into your existing 125 kHz Prox infrastructure while maintaining a clear migration path to 13.56 MHz smart card systems as security requirements evolve.
The glossy surfaces on both sides support direct-to-card printing systems and accept overlaminates for enhanced durability. Laser engraving for sequential numbering eliminates ink-based serialization that fades with UV exposure or abrasion. Without attachment slots, there's no pre-engineered failure point where lanyards or badge clips create stress concentrations. This card works within the standard CR80 form factor, maintaining compatibility with existing card printers, laminators, and issuance workflows while delivering extended service life where environmental conditions or usage patterns accelerate normal PVC card degradation.
