How PolyGuard Holographic Protection Actually Works
1. High-Definition Holography
Embedded "Orb" patterns refract light at multiple angles, creating impossible-to-replicate visual security that changes as you tilt the card2. 1.0 Mil Thickness
Ultra-thick protective layer provides superior durability against abrasion, chemicals, and UV fading compared to standard overlays3. Tamper Evidence
Any attempt to remove or alter the laminate becomes immediately visible, providing clear evidence of tampering attempts4. Heat-Sealed Protection
Professional lamination process bonds the protective layer permanently to your printed card, creating an impenetrable barrier5. Extended Card Life
Cards last 5-10 years instead of 1-2 years, dramatically reducing replacement costs and administrative overheadSpecifications

Common Questions
Is Fargo 82604 the same as 082604?
Yes. Fargo 82604 and 082604 are the same product. HID Global often lists part numbers with or without the leading zero, but they refer to the same holographic laminate for your Fargo printer. You can order with confidence knowing you're getting the correct laminate, no matter which part number you see.
What is the primary benefit of using PolyGuard laminate?
PolyGuard laminate provides enhanced durability and security for ID cards, protecting them from abrasion, chemicals, UV fading, and making them resistant to tampering and counterfeiting due to its thickness and embedded holographic design.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Fargo dealer?
Yes. Specialist ID is an authorized Fargo/HID Global dealer with direct access to genuine Fargo laminates and consumables. We maintain fresh inventory, provide expert technical support, and have strong partnerships with Fargo to ensure you get authentic products with full manufacturer backing.
What does the "Orb" holographic design look like?
The "Orb" design is a high-definition holographic pattern that refracts light, creating a visible security feature on the card. It's a repeating geometric spherical design that changes appearance when tilted, helping authenticate the card and making counterfeiting extremely difficult.
How many cards can I laminate with one roll of Fargo 82604?
One roll provides 250 dual-sided laminations, meaning it will protect 250 cards on both the front and back.
Which Fargo printers are compatible with this laminate?
This laminate is designed for use with Fargo HDP5000, HDP5000-LC, HDP5600, and DTC5500L series printers. The HDP5000 and HDP5600 series require separate laminator modules, while the DTC5500L has a built-in laminator.
What is the difference between a laminate and a clear overlay?
A laminate like PolyGuard is a thicker, more durable protective layer applied by a separate lamination module, offering superior card longevity and advanced security features like holograms. A clear overlay from a YMCKO ribbon is a very thin, basic protective layer applied during printing, providing minimal protection.
Does using this laminate affect the printing process?
Lamination occurs after the card has been printed. It is a separate step handled by the printer's lamination module, ensuring the printed image is sealed and protected without affecting print quality.
How should I store Fargo laminates?
Laminates should be kept in their original sealed packaging, in a cool, dry, and dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. It's generally recommended to use them within one year.
