HID 1324GAV11 HID COV DYE SUB Overlay
When you're issuing credential cards that need to resist daily handling, environmental exposure, or attempts at tampering, a dye-sublimation overlay provides a critical protective layer. The HID 1324GAV11 dye-sub overlay is designed to bond with printed card surfaces during the thermal transfer process, creating a durable, transparent shield that extends card life and maintains print quality in demanding access control environments.
Key Features
- Dye-sublimation compatible overlay material for use with HID card printers
- Transparent protective layer bonds to card surface during printing process
- Enhances durability and abrasion resistance of printed credentials
- Protects card graphics, text, and photos from wear and fading
- Designed for integration with HID's card printing workflow
- Compatible with standard CR80 card dimensions
Credential cards in high-traffic facilities face constant wear from wallet friction, repeated card reader contact, and exposure to oils from handling. Without proper protection, printed information degrades within months, forcing costly reprints and affecting cardholder identification. This overlay addresses that challenge by creating a sealed barrier over the printed surface during the dye-sublimation process. The result is a credential that maintains visual clarity and barcode readability throughout its intended lifecycle, reducing replacement frequency and administrative overhead.
The overlay integrates directly into your existing card printing process when using compatible HID printer models. During printing, heat and pressure fuse the overlay material to the card substrate, eliminating edge lift and delamination issues common with applied laminates. For deployments where cards must survive harsh environments—manufacturing facilities, outdoor access points, or high-volume badge scanning—this additional layer provides measurable protection without adding complexity to your issuance workflow. The transparent finish maintains the professional appearance of your credential program while delivering the durability required for multi-year card lifecycles.
