This polyester base solution provides a robust, easily two-side printable and overall enhanceddocument durability for several card/ID/security applications. SCF has a higher flex-life and scruff resistancewhen laminated to Transilwrap’s Transalloy ® Multi-Polymer Alloys and other core materials.Trans-Kote ® KRTY Laminating Film is a super clear polyester-base film with a copolymer adhesive that enablesit to adhere to a wide range of substrates, including heavily printed papers, photographic paper, films, vinyls andother plastics. Its aggressive adhesive is excellent for protecting and enhancing various card applications.Trans-Kote ® MITY Laminating Film is a polyester-base film that serves as an economical alternative forcard applications that demand heavy gauge protection. It features a harder copolymer adhesive to preventedge-ooze, and a thinner gauge polyester base that provides excellent rigidity and superior abrasion resistance.Trans-Kote ® TXP Laminating Film is a non-oriented polyester film that has layflat and anti-curlcharacteristics. This material easily accepts security embossing and is tamper evident when heat is appliedto the finished card.Polycarbonate Card Stock is rapidly becoming a state-of-the-art card stock solution. Considered themost durable composite available. As laser engravable polycarbonate becomes available, it also offers moresecure personalization.PRODUCT / FABRICATING MATERIALS:Core and Card Stock SolutionsCC5A Core Card is a hybrid polyester that platen laminates with PVC. It is a mono-layer material—does not needmatching. CC5A Core Card has excellent print characteristics and is available in gauges 5–15 mil.CC5A Clear is available in gauges 4–10 mil. It clears well after platen press and is D2T2 printable.SCF PET Overlay is a thin, tough polyester with adhesive on one side and D2T2 printable coating on top.Valkar is a PVC base with a layer of our thermal adhesive that can be used to create a prelaminate of other materials.Teslin ® Card Stock is a synthetic, white opaque, single-layer, microporous printing material that behaves more likepaper than plastic. Available in sheets and rolls, Teslin ® optional coatings are available with a heat-activated adhesive.Ideal for card and other secure document applications, Teslin ® synthetic printing paper can be flexographic, offset,litho, gravure and digital (laser, inkjet) printed. For those customers who want to laminate their documents, Teslin ®is highly compatible with our Trans-Kote ® Thermal Laminating Films.Tescore is the synthetic printing sheet Teslin with our exclusive thermal adhesive applied to it. This can be usedin RFID, card inlays or epassport inlay construction. Excellent bond to itself. Available in many combinations using6-, 7-, 8- or 10-mil Teslin with 1–3 mils of our EP or KRTY adhesives.DIGI Core is a customized synthetic sheet with a pull-away plastic liner for desktop publishing. One sideaccepts conventional, laser and inkjet printing. The opposite side has a heat-activated adhesive for easylamination. DIGI Core is ideal for custom short-run applications.Transalloy ® Multi-Polymer Alloys are specially formulated plastics that offer durability, high tear resistance,increased flex life and a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative to PVC. Transalloys ® are designed foroffset, screen and flexographic processes and can easily be coated, laminated and hydraulic press laminated.Trans-Kote ® White Core is a two-sided thermal adhesive coated white polyester film. Available in variousgauges, Trans-Kote ® White Core provides a highly durable construction option to your card application.(continued)

Core and Card Stock Solutions (continued)DuPont Teijin Films Melinex ® Card Stock polyester base-film has excellent heat seal and print receptivecharacteristics for high-performing card applications. Melinex ® polyester film is ideal for card applications that requirelamination for extended durability and security. It is available in gauges from 6 to 12 mil in both clear and white.Trans-Kote ® PAM heat-activated, double-sided adhesive film has been specifically engineered to assemble similaror dissimilar materials…plastics, cardboard, paper, and other substrates together. PAM will increase the thickness levelof a card. It is also good for hiding RFID chips and for ever-popular clear cards. Available in various combinations.Custom MaterialsPouches in Various Sizes, Including:Credit Card, Military, Luggage Tag and Three-Seal Luggage Tags are specifically fabricated by Transilwrapusing the optimum in Trans-Kote ® Thermal Laminating Films. Pouches are available in either clear or matte finish, withsecurity printing, holographic film and/or incorporated with a signature stripe, bar code blocker or magnetic stripe.Transilwrap’s three-seal pouch application is uniquely fabricated in order to insert gift cards, business cards, identificationcards or other documents into the pouch carrier. The pouch also functions as a luggage tag after the original carddocument is inserted into the sealed application.Magnetic Stripe is a Trans-Kote ® Thermal Laminating Film that incorporates a low coercivity or high coercivitymagnetic stripe applied by Transilwrap in house.Bar Code Blocker is an organic dye-based black ink applied to our Trans-Kote ® thermal laminating film. It is designed tocover the bar code imaged onto the core of the card. The bar code blocker prevents photocopyingof the bar code. Bar code readers in the field are designed to use infrared (IR) technology toCUSTOMMATERIALSread the bar code through the bar code blocker.Signature Stripe is a printed technology applied to the exposed polyester surface.The stripe enables the recipient to sign the document at the point of issuancefor future signature verification. Available in white and translucent.CORE AND CARDSTOCK SOLUTIONSSECURITY FEATURESTransGuard Patch is an approximate 1-mil polyesterfilm with a heat-activated adhesive that prevents dyemigration, enhances durability and functions as a security vehicle.Security FeaturesHologram Films are designed to incorporate multidimensional optical devices that are applied between the materialand the adhesive coating of the thermal laminate. The key characteristic is its multidimensional reflectivity and theability to apply it in register or in a random pattern.TransSecure Gold Ink is a metallic ink printed on the adhesive side of the thermal laminate. The key property of thistechnology is its multidimensional reflectivity. The ink is fragile and, when separated, it is difficult to reassemble or duplicate.Ultraviolet Ink is an invisible ink printed on the adhesive side of the thermal laminate. When the document ispassed over a black light, the ink fluoresces and is visible. Available in green and blue.Bio Materials For CardsThe card industry is now looking for more “green” materials for gift, loyalty or temporary card applications. Make sureyou understand your customer’s specific goal and you understand the complicated territory of whether a material is“biodegradable,” compostable or made from a “renewable resource” such as corn or other agri-products.PLA/Corn Card Transilwrap produces a durable white core material that is “industrially compostable” but made fromrenewable resource. We also offer the clear 2-mil overlay PLA, available in 10–29 mil.Biodegradable Sheet Transilwrap can produce our TransAlloy, ProPrint, or CC5A materials in a bio that will degradeover time.www.transilwrap.comTeslin ® is the official trademark of PPG Industries.Melinex ® is a registered trademark of DuPont Teijin Films for its polyester film.Only DuPont Teijin Films makes Melinex ® brand film.
