Key Manufacturing Advantages

High Transparency and Image Quality

PETG coated overlay film provides high optical clarity, allowing printed graphics, photos, logos, barcodes, and security designs to remain sharp and vivid after lamination. This is important for ID cards, financial cards, and branded membership cards where image quality directly affects card value.

Stable Lamination and Strong Adhesion

PETG overlay sheet has stable thermal and dimensional properties, making it suitable for standard card lamination processes. It helps reduce peeling, deformation, yellowing, and surface defects during production when matched with the correct lamination temperature, pressure, and card core material.

Durable Protection for Long-Term Card Use

The overlay layer protects the printed card core against abrasion, moisture, chemicals, fingerprints, and repeated handling. This improves card lifespan and helps cards remain readable and professional after daily use.

Custom Finish Options

Wallis can provide PETG overlay film with different surface finishes, including gloss, matte, frosted, anti-scratch, velvet, laserable, and specialty coated options. These finishes help card manufacturers meet different security, branding, and tactile requirements.

Applications of PETG Coated Overlay Sheet Lamination Film

PETG coated overlay sheet is widely used in plastic card manufacturing where card durability, print protection, clarity, and lamination reliability are essential.

Identification Cards

PETG overlay film protects ID card printing, portraits, text, barcodes, and security elements. It is suitable for employee ID cards, student ID cards, government cards, visitor cards, and institutional identification cards.

Credit and Debit Cards

Payment cards require a durable protective layer because they are handled frequently. PETG coated overlay sheets help maintain card appearance, protect printed layers, and support long-term card performance.

Access Control Cards

Access control cards are used in offices, factories, hotels, campuses, and secure buildings. PETG overlay film helps cards resist moisture, friction, and environmental exposure during daily use.
