Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about PVC card printing services in the UAE.
Can Sahara print my PVC cards without me buying a printer?›
Yes. Our PVC card printing service handles the full job — artwork, printing, encoding, and lamination — on our own Bravo RTAI and DC 3300 printers, so you receive finished cards without buying or maintaining hardware.
What card types can you print — beyond standard ID cards?›
We print employee and student ID, visitor and contractor badges, access-control and RFID cards, membership and loyalty cards, gift cards, custom hologram cards, security cards (UV, microtext, tamper-evident), wooden cards, transparent/frosted cards, and rewritable cards.
Can you print a custom hologram on our cards?›
Yes — the Bravo RTAI applies both standard and fully custom holograms in-printer via retransfer film, without a separate laminator. Send your logo or security design and we'll produce a proof before the full run.
Do you print wooden or transparent PVC cards?›
Yes. Specially treated wooden cards and transparent/frosted cards are supported on the Bravo RTAI — a distinctive option for premium membership cards, eco-conscious brands, or hospitality use.
What is the minimum order quantity and turnaround time?›
There is no strict minimum for standard ID cards; custom hologram and specialty-media orders (wooden, transparent) typically require a small minimum run. Standard turnaround is 2-3 business days after artwork approval; rush service is available.
Can you encode access-control or RFID data during printing?›
Yes — magnetic stripe (ISO 7811), contact smartcard, and contactless/RFID encoding are all available as part of the printing service, so your cards arrive ready to activate in your access-control system.
