Durable Teslin® Membership Cards

SSI membership cards use polyester laminated Teslin®, one of the most durable card materials available. Unlike standard PVC cards, laminated Teslin® cards resist cracking, delamination, and fading over time.

Benefits include:

  • Exceptional durability for everyday handling
  • Resistance to moisture and bending
  • High-quality print clarity
  • Long card life in frequent-use environments

Graphics are embedded within the lamination, preventing wear or fading. This makes them ideal for programs where members carry the card for years. Organizations that run loyalty programs often pair membership cards with custom loyalty cards and key tags using the same durable laminated materials. You can also explore our NVIO™ eco-friendly cards for a sustainable alternative.

Card features include:

  • Barcodes for scanning and verification
  • Sequential numbering or member IDs
  • Variable data and personalization
  • Custom shapes and sizes
  • Matching key tags for convenience
