Cardboard ID cards Papyrus TK-AK2 56 x 84.7 mm 130 g/m² – pack for printable identification cards

Papyrus Cardboard ID cards TK-AK2 are pre-cut, business-card-sized sheets measuring 56 x 84.7 mm made from 130 g/m² cardboard. Designed for straightforward printing and manual marking, these rigid cards provide a balance between lightweight handling and enough stiffness for short- to medium-term use. The smooth printable surface accepts toner and inkjet inks on machines that support thick cardstock, making them suitable for producing visitor badges, event passes, membership cards and temporary identification on demand.

Advantages

The 130 g/m² weight gives the cards a firmer feel than ordinary paper while remaining compatible with many office printers that accept heavy stock. Pre-cut dimensions eliminate trimming and speed up production of multiple IDs. The cardboard surface supports full-color printing as well as handwriting with common pens and markers, allowing a mix of printed and manual information. Cards are lightweight for easy distribution at events and economical for high-volume use.

How to use

Load the pre-cut cardboard sheets into a printer tray configured for thick paper or cardstock according to your printer's instructions. Set the print template to the exact dimensions 56 x 84.7 mm and perform a test print on a single sheet to confirm alignment and color settings. After printing, allow inks or toner to dry fully before handling to avoid smudging. For handwritten details, use permanent pens or markers and allow the ink to dry. Store unused sheets flat in a dry environment to prevent warping.

Usage recommendations

For best results, check your printer specifications for supported media weight and perform test feeds to avoid jams. If durability is required beyond short-term use, consider laminating printed cards or using a heavier card stock. Keep printed cards away from moisture and direct heat to preserve print quality.
