The use of PVC overlay film has increased over the years as the film is used as a raw material for making PVC cards with printed plastic sheets. The film is usually attached using glue and other adhesives which give a smooth and strong bond to the underlying surface. The process of applying the film simplifies the process of making plastic cards and provides high bonding and strength to the cards. Printing can be done on the overlay film and this is especially important in making plastic playing cards and other printing material. This is because the film lowers the possibility of color diffusing and cuts down the waste rate in production.<br><br>

Overlay film is used in card making to increase the life of the cards as it prevents abrasions, scratching, and the general wear and tear caused by handling of the cards. The film can be used for most types of cards as it is environmentally safe. In most cases the film is usually transparent as it is intended to protect the underlying surface without inhibiting the readability of the card. Effective application of the film should result in even smoothness all along the surface of the card and the thickness of the film should be the same all over to provide an attractive finish.<br><br>  Read more...
