Durable alternative to PVC for a variety of applications

The paper card, made from cellulose fibres with no added plastic, completes the Evolis range of consumables. It offers an alternative to PVC cards for specific uses by retailers and hoteliers.

Paper cards are therefore recommended for short-term use:

  • event cards (seminar participants, table seating, etc.)
  • luggage tags,

 or for cards that are used only occasionally, with little handling :

  • gift or VIP cards,
  • loyalty cards...

Compatibility

These standard CR80 cards (0.76mm thick) are compatible with :

  • Edikio Flex
  • Edikio Duplex

The paper cards can be printed with "BlackFlex RCT019NAA" black monochrome ribbon and are available in two packs (Ref. C2501 and C2511).

They are also compatible with Edikio Price Tag and Edikio Guest accessories.

Low environmental impact

The cards carry the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) label: the paper used comes from forests whose management is certified as sustainable.

At the end of their life, paper cards are biodegradable and compostable. As paper is recyclable, they can be disposed of in recycling bins.

"Using paper cards for specific applications reduces the contribution to global warming, reduces the contribution to water pollution and reduces the potential depletion of non-renewable fossil resources," says Sonia Chauvet, Product Manager at Evolis.

For pricing information, please contact your Evolis sales representative.
