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
