Overlays and Laminates

Protect your card credentials from potential threats and maintain visual and functional integrity with Entrust Datacard’s security and durability solutions. We strive to develop leading edge solutions that deliver the best quality in durability and security for all of your card’s needs.

Durability

Our high-quality durability supplies options defend cards against abrasion, moisture, fading, and chemical attacks, which ultimately extend the life of cards and reduce costs for reissuance.

Durability is an important consideration in maintaining the appearance and life of a card. Depending on the application, intended lifespan, and usage of your card, Entrust Datacard offers a complete line of protective topcoats, overlays, and laminates to meet your needs.

Durability Options

Topcoats - A basic and affordable level of durability:

  • Advantages: provides abrasion and chemical resistance as well as over-the-edge protection; available in clear and holographic
  • Recommended for cards with an expected life of up to 3 years

Entrust DuraShield™ Overlay – An advanced durability solution at an entry-level cost:

  • Advantages: Ultra-durable, cost-effective, full-card over-the-edge protection; available in clear and holographic
  • Recommended for cards with an expected life of 5-7 years

Entrust DuraGard® Laminate – The highest level of durability:

  • Advantages: superior abrasion and chemical resistance, near edge-to-edge protection with additional UV resistance that protect cards from fading
  • Recommended for cards required to last more than 7 years

Industry standard taber testing shows the strength of our range of durability options after 2,000 cycles.

Security

Further protect your card from threats including fraud, forgery, and counterfeiting, with our extensive collection of security solutions. Entrust Datacard offers a variety of trusted generic and custom laminates that utilize overt, covert, and forensic features.

The security of your card program is becoming increasingly important as the range and frequency of security threats increase. Entrust Datacard continuously develops new and improved security offerings trusted by governments and other institutions worldwide.

Secure Laminate Options:

Entrust OptiExpress™ Security Feature Set:

  • Entry-level security with level 1 features used for basic ID applications
  • Typically used for applications such as school IDs, healthcare cards, and corporate IDs

Entrust OptiSelect™ Security Feature Set:

  • Midrange applications that combine level 1 and 2 features
  • Typically used for applications such as driver’s licenses and national health cards

Entrust OptiGram® Security Feature Set:

  • Highest level of security that uses levels 1, 2, and 3 features
  • Tamper evident (TE) version available
  • Typically used for applications such as passports and national IDs

Our Opti-Series security feature sets are all customizable, giving you the ability to uniquely design your perfect level of security.

Tactile Impression Feature

Entrust has a unique, patent-pending tactile impression feature that is available as an option with the SD460™ card printer and CD800™ card printer with inline lamination. The feature creates an impression on the card substrate that you can see and feel. The tactile impression process uses a unique die to create the impression, which differs from the embossing or indenting technology available today. When used with a patch laminate, it helps make the card tamper evident and provides a higher level of security.

Similar to our holographic overlays, a one-of-a-kind tactile design can be created specifically for your card program. Contact an Entrust representative to learn how.
