The Power of Plastics

Plastics may not sound great. Especially since they are described as cold, shiny and hard. But, when it comes to gift cards, identification cards and the like, that's a good thing. Here, several companies display their newest plastic cards and explain their features.

USAdocufinish—Docufold

• A linerless, EZ-Release Card

• Butterfly construction allows the front and back of the card to be imaged at the same time in one pass

• Card seals to standard size

• Linerless construction allows the card to be removed cleanly from the form, leaving no messy glue residue

• Made from a durable, laser-compatible polyester

"Docufold is a perfect solution for a durable, yet 
duplex, laser-friendly affixed card application," said John W. McKillip, president/CEO.
