Overview
IDP 659398 Clear Smart Cut Laminate, 250 Patches
The IDP 659398 is a 1 mil (25 micron) clear patch laminate for the IDP SMART-51L laminating ID card printer. The patches are smart cut, with an opening for a contact smart card chip, so the laminate protects the printed card while leaving the chip contacts uncovered.
Each patch measures 84 x 52.4 mm on an 85.7 x 53.9 mm card, so it covers almost the whole printed face. IDP rates its 1 mil patches for up to 5,000 Taber abrasion cycles, far more than a ribbon's overlay panel. A roll gives 250 patches, enough to laminate 250 cards on one side or about 125 cards on both sides.
SMART-51L laminates are made for the SMART-51L and its laminator module only; they do not fit the SMART-81L, which uses its own films. Specialist ID is an authorized IDP dealer.
