ID Card Printer Rentals

ID Card Printer Hire & Rental Solutions

If you need to produce ID cards in-house without investing in permanent equipment, hiring an ID card printer is a flexible and cost-effective solution. Printer rentals allow you to issue cards quickly, scale production when required, and avoid maintenance or ownership costs.

Our ID card printer hire service is designed to support organisations of all sizes, from short-term events to ongoing card printing requirements.

A Smarter Way to Handle Temporary ID Card Printing


With our flexible long and short-term rental periods, you can organise and plan the necessary equipment around your needs without having to spend extra money on purchasing one. We highly recommend hiring if you don't have any long term plans of frequently printing cards, as this saves time and money on extra consumables.

With a rental, you get:

  • Immediate access to ID printing once delivered
  • Predictable, manageable costs
  • No responsibility for long-term servicing or storage

Please note, our minimum hire period is 1 week.

What You’ll Receive with a Printer Rental


Instead of offering multiple models, our rental service focuses on a proven, all-round solution: the Magicard 300. This ensures consistent quality, security, and ease of use across all hire agreements.

The printer is suitable for most standard PVC ID card applications and delivers sharp text, vivid colour, and reliable performance.

Everything You Need to Start Printing


Alongside your printer hire purchase, we also offer a rental package with consumables such as ribbons (YMCK) and software (CardPresso) to help you start printing straight out of the box. These are an important part of the process to ensure card designs can be created and printed ready for your event.
