What Are Plastic-Free Board Cards?

Plastic-free board cards are exactly what they sound like — cards made from recyclable board rather than PVC plastic. They're printed in full colour on both sides, cut to standard credit card size (86 × 54mm), and at 620 microns thick they have a solid, substantial feel that surprises most people who expect something flimsy.
Because there's no plastic in the material, they can go straight into standard household or commercial recycling at the end of their life — no specialist disposal required.

Who are they for?
Any business that wants the professional look of a printed card without the plastic. Popular uses include loyalty cards, membership cards, business cards, gift cards, and event passes — particularly for organisations where sustainability is part of the brand, such as organic food retailers, eco-conscious hospitality venues, health and wellbeing businesses, charities, and clubs with environmental commitments.

How do they compare to plastic cards?
Board cards are durable for everyday wallet use and handle regular scanning and swiping without issue. For very high-frequency applications — door entry systems, long-term gift cards, outdoor use — our standard PVC or EcoTough cards may be more suitable. If you're unsure, ask us for a sample pack and you can compare both in hand before committing to an order.

What optional extras are available?
Sequential numbering, barcodes, QR codes, and variable data personalisation are all available on plastic-free board cards — so they work just as well as plastic for membership tracking and loyalty schemes.

Plastic-Free Board Card Printing FAQ's

What are plastic-free board cards made of?
They're made from recyclable board — not PVC, not composite plastic. This means they can be recycled through standard household or commercial recycling.

How thick are plastic-free board cards?
Plastic-free board cards are 620 microns thick — close to the 760-micron thickness of a standard PVC plastic card. They have a solid, premium feel.

What size are they?
Standard credit card size: 86mm × 54mm

Are plastic-free board cards as durable as plastic cards?
They're durable for regular everyday use, suitable for loyalty cards, membership cards, and business cards. For very high-use applications like door access cards or long-term gift cards, PVC may be more appropriate. If you're unsure, request a free sample pack and compare both.

Can I get a sample before ordering plastic-free board cards?
Yes. Request a sample pack and we'll send you examples of both our board cards and plastic cards so you can feel the difference.

What is the minimum order quantity for plastic-free board cards?
