🛡️ MAXIMUM CARD PROTECTION
Entrust Datacard 508668-001 Clear DuraGard Overlaminate
Professional-grade card protection that extends ID card life to 5+ years with superior durability. This crystal-clear 1.0 mil DuraGard overlaminate creates an impenetrable barrier against scratches, UV fading, chemicals, and daily wear for high-value credentials that must maintain their integrity over time.
Transform your printed ID cards into fortress-level protected credentials with 375 dual-sided laminations per roll of genuine DuraGard technology that bonds a crystal-clear, 1.0 mil protective film to both sides of your cards, creating an impenetrable shield against abrasion, UV degradation, chemical exposure, and environmental damage while maintaining perfect clarity and professional appearance for years of reliable service.
Why DuraGard Protection Matters
- Transforms card durability from standard to exceptional — The robust 1.0 mil thickness creates a protective barrier that extends card life from typical 1-2 years to 5+ years, protecting your investment in high-quality printing and reducing replacement costs
- Guards against every type of damage that ruins cards — Protects against scratches from daily handling, UV fading from sunlight exposure, chemical damage from cleaning agents, and environmental wear that degrades card appearance and functionality
- Crystal-clear protection maintains card aesthetics — Transparent laminate preserves vibrant colors, sharp text, and professional appearance while adding substantial protection, ensuring cards look as good as new throughout their extended lifespan
- Designed for high-value credential programs — Perfect for government IDs, professional licenses, employee badges, and access cards where durability and longevity are critical to program success and cost control
- Maximizes lamination efficiency with dual-sided coverage — Each roll protects 375 complete cards with front and back coverage, providing excellent value and reducing the frequency of supply reorders for busy card programs
- Bonds permanently for tamper resistance — Creates a secure bond with the card surface that cannot be easily removed or tampered with, adding an additional layer of security to your credential program

How DuraGard Lamination Technology Works
1. Precision Application
Lamination module applies precise heat and pressure to bond the 1.0 mil DuraGard film to the printed card surface
2. Permanent Bonding
Advanced adhesive technology creates an irreversible bond between laminate and card, ensuring long-term adhesion without bubbling or peeling
3. Dual-Side Protection
Front and back surfaces receive complete coverage, protecting all printed elements including photos, text, barcodes, and magnetic stripes
4. Crystal Clear Barrier
Transparent laminate maintains visual clarity while creating an impenetrable shield against physical, chemical, and environmental damage
5. Extended Lifespan
Protected cards maintain their appearance and functionality for 5+ years, dramatically reducing replacement costs and program maintenance

Common Questions
What is DuraGard Overlaminate, and how does it protect cards?
DuraGard Overlaminate is a durable, clear film that bonds to the card surface, providing a robust layer of protection. It significantly extends card life by guarding against abrasion, fading from UV light, moisture, and chemical exposure.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Entrust Datacard dealer?
Absolutely. Specialist ID is an authorized Entrust Datacard dealer with direct access to genuine laminates and consumables. We maintain fresh inventory, provide expert technical support, and have strong partnerships with Entrust Datacard to ensure you get authentic products with full manufacturer backing and warranty protection.
Does this laminate include any holographic security features?
No, the 508668-001 is a clear (plain) DuraGard overlaminate. It does not contain any holographic designs. For holographic security, you would need a DuraGard overlaminate with a specific holographic pattern.
How many cards can I laminate with one roll of 508668-001?
One roll of this overlaminate is designed to provide 375 dual-sided laminations, meaning it will protect 375 cards on both their front and back surfaces.
Which Entrust Datacard printers are compatible with this laminate?
This DuraGard overlaminate is compatible with Entrust Datacard SD360, SD460, CD800, and potentially some Sigma DS3 series printers that are equipped with a lamination module.
How is DuraGard different from the clear overlay on a YMCKO ribbon?
DuraGard is a significantly thicker (1.0 mil) and more robust laminate applied by a separate lamination module, offering vastly superior durability, scratch, and chemical resistance compared to the very thin (typically 0.25 mil) clear overlay panel found on YMCKO ribbons.
What are the main benefits of laminating ID cards?
Lamination protects card graphics from fading and wear, extends the card's functional lifespan, enhances its resistance to physical damage, and provides a more professional appearance.
What are the storage recommendations for this laminate?
For optimal performance and shelf life, store the laminate in its original sealed packaging, in a cool, dry, and dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is generally recommended to use within one year of purchase.
