It’s that time of the year; the chill is in the air. Winter is near. If you haven’t already, it’s time to get started on revamping your ski-passes for the 2021-2022 ski season.
Issuing colorful, high-quality ski passes is a great way to reward your loyal skiers and riders while speeding up lift lines. They deserve it, that’s why most resorts now offer high-quality photo ID cards to those that hit the slopes regularly. Another benefit to well-designed photo ID ski-passes is they prevent cardholders from sharing their passes with others.
Professional looking photo ID cards for season passes also help enhance customer loyalty further. By using the ski passes to extend ski resort branding, make your IDs distinctive and memorable. If the cards are seen around town, new riders will be drawn to your resort. Pair your ski passes with our Black Ski/Sport Pass Badge Reel and have ski passes displayed in style!

Let's start with what makes a composite card different than a standard PVC card. Composite cards contain combinations of Polyester and PVC for higher durability and heat resistance. The cards contain a PVC core, layered between PVC/PET composite laminate and have a polish/polish finish (front/back).
Use composite cards when:

• Using PVC card printers that apply an overlaminate (required for heat resistance)
• Slotting your PVC cards (recommended for durability)
• Using your cards in harsh conditions or temperature extremes (recommended for durability)
• Use with retransfer card printers to prevent card warping (required for heat resistance)
• Extended card longevity desired

Different combinations will determine the extended durability of the composite cards life.
80/20 80% PVC/20% PET blend = extended life to 5 years
70/30 70% PVC/30% PET blend = extended life to 8 years
60/40 60% PVC/40% PET blend = extended life to 10 years
Cost per blend will increase based on the percentage of PET.
Card Tech ID offers all these blends with and without HiCo and LoCo magnetic strip options in a White CR80 size (credit card size) 30 mil thickness (credit card thickness) only. Email sales@cardtechid.com for a free price quote or more information.
