High-Durability Polyester Film for Cards, Tickets and Smart Media
Polyester film is a premium material for the manufacture of cards and tickets requiring resistance to frequent handling, bending, wear, moisture, temperature changes and repeated scanning or validation.
In applications such as identity cards, mass transit cards, road toll cards, ski passes, magnetic stripe cards and scratch-off telephone cards, material durability directly influences product lifetime, user experience and operational reliability.
HIFI Polyester Film supplies PET films in thicknesses from 50 to 350 microns, allowing customers to choose the right balance between flexibility, rigidity, printability and mechanical strength.
Modern ticketing and card markets are no longer limited to simple printed media. Many applications now combine physical durability with digital functionality, including barcodes, QR codes, magnetic encoding, contactless chips, RFID/NFC inlays and secure personalisation.
For printed or personalised card applications, PET film supports sharp graphics, barcodes, serial numbers, logos and identification data. Its dimensional stability also helps maintain accurate alignment during printing, cutting, lamination and further conversion.
