Edikio’s Alternatives to PVC Cards
Evolis provides three eco-friendly card types, each compatible with specific monochrome ribbon options:
PLA/Wood Cards (PLA/BOIS)
Biobased, non-toxic, made from PLA and PEFC-certified wood fibers. Durable and easy to clean. Compatible with BLACK RMS monochrome ribbons (e.g., RCT094NAA, RCT095NAA) for professional black prints.
Paper Cards
Crafted from FSC-certified paper; fully biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable. Ideal for short-term uses like event passes or price tags. Pair with BLACKFLEX ribbons (e.g., RCT081NAA, RCT019NAA) for crisp mono printing.
Recycled PETG Cards
Made from post-consumer recycled plastic; offers durability and reduced environmental impact. Use with White monochrome ribbons for sharp contrast and easy readability.
