Evolis Paper Cards – Pack of 100 Paper is a natural and renewable material, making these paper cards from Evolis a great eco-friendly alternative to using PVC plastic cards. As the demand for more eco-friendly alternatives to plastic products increases worldwide, these paper cards provide a way of reducing plastic usage in name badge printing without compromising on quality.  Despite being made from paper, a natural material, the cards are durable and have a high-quality feel and appearance just like their PVC counterparts. This means that they are ideal for use in the events industry but also for printing other temporary cards such as visitor passes or luggage tags. The cards carry the FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) label which means that the material used was sourced from forests managed in a sustainable way. They also meet the compostability standard EN 14995 (cf EN 13432). Paper is biodegradable in the natural environment within a few months. Once the cards are no longer needed, they can be recycled in your ordinary recycling collection where they will be broken down into raw material and used in the production of new paper-based products. Shred your cards before recycling them if they have personal data printed on them.

Disposing of your cards In many instances such as in the production of event name badges, visitor passes or luggage tags, you may be printing large volumes of plastic cards in-house that will only be used once before they are thrown away. Since PVC is difficult to recycle, plastic cards will often end up in landfill where it will break down into harmful microplastics that pollute the earth. PVC cards can generally only be recycled by specialists. If you have plastic cards or name badges that you’d like to recycle securely, you can send them for recycling through us. Paper cards can also be recycled, but can also be composted or will break down fully within months if put into landfill...
