Single-sided ID card printers are ideal when you need a cost-effective and reliable way to create photo ID. As the name suggests, they print to one side of a plastic card. You can choose between full-colour or monochrome, and many offer modular extras that let you add capabilities later: like magnetic stripe and smart card encoding for enhanced security or lamination for greater card durability and wallet-life.
Single-sided card printers typically work best for batch printing in smaller volumes. Many small to medium-sized businesses use them to create staff or student ID, gift cards, loyalty cards, or membership cards.
It’s possible to use them for dual-sided printing — you just need to print on one side and then feed them through again to print on the other. For the best dual-sided printing results, however, it’s worth considering a dedicated dual-sided printer.
