Evolis Primacy Lamination

The Evolis Primacy Lamination is a modular ID card printing solution designed for organisations that require durable, secure cards with a longer service life. It combines the Primacy printer with a lamination module to produce cards that resist wear, fading, and tampering. This configuration is suited for environments where cards are handled frequently or expected to remain valid over extended periods, such as employee identification, access control, and institutional credentials.

The product is positioned for buyers who already understand the limitations of standard card printing and are evaluating lamination as a practical upgrade rather than a cosmetic add-on. It focuses on production efficiency, card durability, and controlled security enhancement without moving into high-end retransfer systems.

Product Overview

Primacy Lamination works by first printing the card using direct-to-card dye-sublimation or resin transfer, followed by the application of a clear or holographic laminate layer. This laminate is thermally bonded to the card surface, creating a protective shield that improves resistance to abrasion, UV exposure, and daily handling.

The lamination module is integrated inline with the printer, allowing printing and lamination to occur in a single workflow. This reduces manual handling between steps and ensures consistent laminate placement. The system supports both single-sided and dual-sided lamination depending on configuration, making it adaptable to different card designs and security requirements.

Why Primacy Lamination Is a Practical Choice

Primacy Lamination addresses a common gap between basic card printing and advanced retransfer systems. It allows organisations to significantly extend card life and improve resistance to wear without changing their existing card formats or workflows. This makes it a practical step for teams that have experienced frequent card replacements or visual degradation over time.

Vertilinks supports buyers by helping them determine whether lamination is necessary for their specific use case and, if so, which laminate type and configuration make sense. By aligning print volume, card design, and security expectations upfront, Vertilinks ensures the Primacy Lamination setup delivers real operational value rather than unnecessary complexity. The result is a reliable card issuance process that balances durability, cost control, and ease of use.
