Blank PVC ID cards · CR-80 · 30 mil
Blank White PVC ID Cards — CR-80, 30 mil
The standard ID card, blank and ready to print. CR-80 at 85.60 x 53.98 mm and 30 mil (0.76 mm) is the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 format — the size and gauge that direct-to-card printers, badge holders, slot punches, lanyard clips and most card readers are all built around. Plain white, no magnetic stripe and no chip, blank on both sides. Packs of 100, 250 and 500.
Quick Glance
Key Features
The Card Everything Is Built Around
CR-80 at 30 mil is the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard, which is why it is the default for direct-to-card printers, badge holders, slot punches and reader slots. If a piece of ID hardware quotes one card size, this is almost always it.
Plain White, Blank Both Sides
No magnetic stripe, no chip and no pre-print, so the whole surface is yours for employee badges, membership cards, loyalty cards or visitor passes — single-sided or dual-sided.
Buy the Pack That Fits the Run
Packs of 100, 250 and 500 cards, so a one-off badge run for a new intake does not mean buying a box of five hundred and storing the rest.
Detailed Specifications
- Check the media thickness range your card printer supports — it is in the printer’s specification, usually given in mil or mm.
- These cards carry no magnetic stripe and no chip. If you need to encode, tell us and we will quote the right card instead.
- Blank on both sides, so they suit single- or dual-sided printing.
- Send us your printer model and we will confirm the fit before you order.
These are unbranded blank PVC cards supplied by AtomOffice, so there is no manufacturer datasheet behind this page. The dimensions and corner radius are the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard the CR-80 format is defined by, and the millimetre thicknesses are the exact conversion of the mil figure. We deliberately do not state a surface finish, a per-card weight or a named printer compatibility list, because those are not specified for this stock — ask us and we will confirm against the batch we are shipping.
Need-to-Know
All three are the same CR-80 card in a different gauge. What changes is what the badge is for, what it costs per card, and whether your printer can feed it.
- 30 mil (0.76 mm) is the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard thickness. If your reader, holder or slot punch quotes a single card gauge, this is the one it means.
- These are unbranded generic cards, not a named manufacturer’s line. If your tender or printer warranty requires a specific brand, tell us and we will quote that instead.
- No magnetic stripe, no chip and no adhesive backing. For encoding or adhesive-back stock, ask us for the right card.
- We do not publish a surface finish or per-card weight for this stock because it is not specified — ask and we will confirm against the batch being shipped.

Customer Benefits
- At the ISO standard thickness it fits badge holders, lanyard clips, slot punches and reader slots without anyone having to check first.
- Blank on both sides means one stock covers single-sided staff badges and dual-sided cards with terms printed on the back.
- Three pack sizes keep the cost sensible whether you are printing twenty badges or five hundred.
- Unbranded stock, so you are paying for the card rather than a printer maker’s label on the box.
- We will confirm the fit against your printer model before you order, rather than after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Almost certainly, if it is a direct-to-card printer. 30 mil is the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard thickness and it is what card printers are designed around — it sits comfortably inside the media range of every mainstream model. Send us your printer model and we will confirm before you order.
It is the standard credit-card format defined by ISO/IEC 7810 as ID-1: 85.60 x 53.98 mm with a 3.18 mm corner radius. A bank card in your wallet is the same size. It is what badge holders, lanyard clips, slot punches and reader slots are cut for.
No. These are plain white cards, blank on both sides, with no stripe, no chip and no adhesive backing. If you need to encode a stripe or use proximity technology, tell us what your reader expects and we will quote the right card.
Yes. The cards are blank white on both faces, so they suit single-sided badges and dual-sided cards equally — a photo and name on the front, terms or a barcode on the back. Dual-sided printing needs a printer with a flip unit, or a second pass.
30 mil is the ISO standard and the one most things expect. 20 mil is thinner and cheaper per card, sensible for badges that do not need to last years. 10 mil is thin enough for temporary day passes, but it sits below the feed range of many printers — check the printer specification first. We stock all three.
