The Evolis RCT018NAA Scratch-off Ribbon is a specialized printing consumable designed for creating secure, tamper-evident cards with confidential information. This premium ribbon applies a gray scratch-off coating that effectively conceals sensitive data such as PINs, access codes, or promotional content until deliberately revealed by the end user. Each ribbon provides up to 1,000 panels, offering excellent value for organizations requiring secure card solutions.
How do I use the RCT018NAA scratch off ribbon?
- First print: Print the card with all information, including the sensitive data that will be covered (PINs, codes, etc.) using your standard black K panel ribbon (if printing with a full color ribbon you will need to make sure not to apply the overlay panel to the areas where you will be printing the scratch off.
- Card Design: In your card design software, designate specific areas where you want the scratch-off material to be applied. These are typically designed as small solid black rectangular sections that will print over the confidential information.
- Second print: Run the same card through the printer again, with the scratch-off ribbon this time, to apply the opaque gray coating over just the designated areas
- Scratch Off Panel Application: The ribbon applies a gray, opaque panel only to the specific areas defined in your template. The rest of the card remains unchanged.
- End User Experience: The recipient of the card can later use a coin, fingernail, or similar object to scratch away the coating and reveal the hidden information underneath.
Compatible with the Evolis Primacy, and Zenius, this genuine Evolis consumable ensures optimal performance and reliability. The scratch-off material adheres firmly to card surfaces while remaining easily removable with a coin or fingernail when needed. Ideal for loyalty programs, gaming cards, promotional campaigns, and secure identification applications.
