<h1>PVC National ID Printing</h1> <p>In my years of managing government documentation projects, <strong>PVC national ID printing</strong> has always been a fascinating intersection of security, durability, and technology. The precision required is immense, and I've personally overseen the transition from older paper-based systems to modern polycarbonate and PVC solutions. The skill lies not just in the printing, but in integrating multiple layers of security seamlessly.</p> <h2>The Technical Core of Secure PVC ID Cards</h2> <p>A successful <strong>PVC national ID printing</strong> program relies on robust technical specifications. The choice of materials and encoding technologies is critical for preventing forgery and ensuring long-term use.</p> <h3>Detailed Product Specifications & Technical Parameters</h3> <p>For a standard high-security national ID card, the technical parameters are stringent. Here is a detailed breakdown for a typical card construction:</p> <h4>Physical & Material Specifications:</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Card Body:</strong> 0.76mm thick, white PVC core with matte or glossy overlay.</li> <li><strong>Dimensions:</strong> ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard: 85.60mm × 53.98mm.</li> <li><strong>Printing Technology:</strong> High-resolution dye-sublimation (300dpi minimum) for photo and graphics, coupled with reverse-side offset printing for complex patterns.</li> <li><strong>Security Features:</strong> Custom holographic laminate (OVD), microtext, UV-reactive inks, and laser-engraved personalization.</li> </ul> <h4>Electronic & Chip Specifications:</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Chip Type:</strong> Secure microcontroller chip (e.g., NXP SmartMX2 or Infineon SLE 78).</li> <li><strong>Chip Code/Interface:</strong> ISO/IEC 7816 contact interface. Common chip operating system (COS) codes include JCOP or MULTO5.</li> <li><strong>Memory:</strong> 80KB minimum EEPROM for biometric data, digital certificates, and application files.</li> <li><strong>RFID Technology:</strong> Optional ISO/IEC 14443 Type A/B compliant chip for contactless functionality.</li> </ul> <p><
