Overview
When calculating the maximum printable area of a card, the printer's Dots Per Inch (DPI) must be taken into consideration. Most card printers have a maximum resolution of 300 DPI.
To calculate the resolution, simply multiply the height and width x 300 dpi.
Card Sizes
CR-79
Slightly smaller than a standard CR-80 size card, the CR-79 will typically have an adhesive back and are commonly used for printing and adhering to a clamshell proximity card. If you’re thinking of printing on CR79 size cards, make sure to check that your ID card printer is capable of them.
CR-80
These cards are the same size as a credit card and are the standard most commonly used size of PVC card.
CR-90
These cars are slightly larger than the standard credit card size.
CR-100
These cards are 3.88" x 2.63" which is 42% larger than a standard CR-80 card, making them easier to be seen from a distance and too big to hide in a wallet. CR-100 size cards are often referred to as oversize or military-size cards.
Card printers with CR100 size card printing capability are very limited.
