Evolis Badgy Ribbons

These are the genuine Evolis ribbons that feed a Badgy1, Badgy100 or Badgy200 card printer, covering both plain black text and full-colour photo ID. Badgy ribbons are model-specific, so start with the printer you own: the Badgy1 takes the VBDG204EU and VBDG205EU ribbons, while the Badgy100 and Badgy200 take the CBGR and CBGP ribbons.

A Badgy monochrome ribbon prints black only and gives 500 images from a single roll, which is what text-only badges need. For the Badgy100 and Badgy200 that ribbon is the CBGR0500K. The Evolis Badgy Monochrome Ribbon is listed on its own as well, also rated at 500 images. A Badgy YMCKO colour ribbon lays down the yellow, magenta, cyan and black panels plus the clear overlay, so one card can carry a photo, a logo and a coloured background. On its own for the Badgy100 and Badgy200 it is the CBGR0100C.

After the printer model, the choice comes down to what you print and whether you also need blank cards or a cleaning kit. Every bundle here that includes cards holds 100 of them. The Badgy Consumables Kit pairs a colour ribbon with 100 cards at 0.76mm, the standard CR80 credit card size of 85.6 x 54mm. The CBGP0001C puts 100 thick cards alongside the colour ribbon instead. On the Badgy1 side, the VBDG204EU is a YMCKO ribbon with a cleaning kit for the print head and rollers. The VBDG205EU is that same pairing with 100 cards added. A ribbon on its own keeps you running at the lowest cost when you already hold card stock. Send us your printer details and the Plastic ID team will confirm the right consumable.
