Product Identity

The Fargo 82136 UltraCard Premium is a pack of 500 blank white plastic cards designed for high-definition retransfer and direct-to-card printing. Organisations issuing secure IDs, access badges or loyalty cards use these composite blanks to achieve consistent print quality and long service life. They suit any printer that accepts standard CR-80 format media.

Decisive Specification

Each card measures 3.38" x 2.13" with a 30 mil thickness and a 40% polyester / 60% PVC construction. This composite build resists delamination during lamination and fluorescent ribbon printing, making it the single attribute that determines suitability for high-durability retransfer workflows. Standard PVC-only cards will not withstand the same thermal stress.

Durability and Operation

The polyester-reinforced core maintains flatness through repeated heating cycles, reducing jam risk and preserving edge-to-edge print fidelity. Cards feed cleanly through retransfer and laminating modules without warping, keeping printer downtime low. No special environmental controls are required beyond normal office conditions.

Questions about this item

What does the 30 mil thickness mean once the card is in a printer or laminator?

The 30 mil (0.030 inch) composite body feeds through standard CR-80 slots and survives repeated retransfer printing and lamination cycles without warping.

What standard does the CR-80 interface follow and what does it cap in practice?

CR-80 fixes the card at 3.375 x 2.125 inches, so every Fargo DTC and HDP printer, encoder and laminator built for CR-80 will accept it.

What does the card physically need to fit or mount in a badge holder?

The 3.375 x 2.125 inch footprint with 30 mil thickness matches standard CR-80 badge holders, clips and lanyard reels.
