HID 81754 UltraCard 30 Mil PVC Blank Cards
Overview
The HID 81754 is a 500-count box of 30 mil PVC blank cards in CR80 format (standard credit-card dimensions: 3.375 × 2.125 inches). These cards are the standard credential substrate for HID's Persona C30 Photo ID System and compatible high-volume card printing workflows. The 30 mil thickness delivers rigidity and durability suitable for employee badges, visitor passes, and access credentials that see repeated handling and scanning.
Compatibility
The HID 81754 integrates with the Persona C30 Card Printer and any CR80-format compatible card printer that accepts 30 mil PVC stock. The Persona C30 system includes starter supplies (100 UltraCard PVC cards), so the 81754 box serves as a high-volume restock option once initial supplies are exhausted. CR80 dimensions ensure compatibility with standard magnetic stripe encoders, contact/contactless smart card writers, and barcode printers configured for wallet-sized credentials.
Installation Notes
30 mil thickness is optimal for magnetic stripe encoding and laser perforation; thinner 10 mil alternatives (adhesive-backed Mylar) suit overlay or lamination workflows but not standard magnetic encoding. Store cards in a cool, dry environment to prevent warping. Verify your printer's media guides are set to PVC card mode—30 mil cards require proper tension to avoid jams in systems designed for thinner stock. The smooth surface finish minimizes static buildup and supports clean ribbon-to-card contact during thermal transfer printing.
