In Which Country Are ID Card Printers Most Needed?
As a printer manufacturing company based in China since 2006, we have been exporting a massive number of printers to many countries across the globe. Of all the different types of printers we supply to our distributors and clients, we found that, particularly in these recent years, the majority of the ID card printers we manufacture are sold to fast-developing countries, including the Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Pakistan, India, Vietnam, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, and a few more in Africa.
Why I Decided to Develop a More Advanced Card Printer Machine
I remember answering the phone calls from those who have viewed the ID card printing machine on my website, asking if we have a distributor or authorized ID card printer supplier in their countries. After giving them the answer, “No,” you can tell the disappointment and pity from their tone.
At that time, before 2012, we had only developed 1 unit of ID card printer, which was of crude craftsmanship and without much delicate technology applied in the manufacturing. I never thought of developing more ID card printers with more advanced technology until I received more and more phone calls from my website visitors with the same query. After searching online and getting to know the countries where people called inquiring about ID printing machines, I concluded that those fast-developing countries or regions are in desperate need of ID card makers.
Then, I learned that fast mass production of ID cards can meet a number of needs at different scenes and occasions. Far more than serving the sole purpose of printing identity card, an advanced ID card printing machine can also produce access control card for employees, students, visitor passes and members to be used in corporates, school & universities, banks, and hospitals, etc. This can’t make a demanding customer happy. More clients tend to require the ID card printers to be versatitle, in other words, they must be capable of printing more cards for more scenes and sites. Human beings are greedy, they tend to seek more out of costing less. What an opportunity for me to develop a quality unit and make some money!
The breakthrough and success of the MS-151 PVC ID Card Printer
In the late spring of 2014, a breakthrough was achieved by my R&D team in the Changsha office. They tested the newly developed ID card printer, MS-151, for printing public traffic cards, medical care cards, and event access cards and none of them failed.
Before launching it to the market, intuitively, I knew it would be popular among the countries with an accelerating developing pace. Reasonably priced, the MS-151 PVC card printer machine, as I had anticipated, was sold to many countries or many regions across one country. I attribute the popularity of this PVC ID card printer to its high customization and versatility to play a role in hospitals, companies, clubs, newly built schools, exhibition centers, and more.
The Analysis and Insight of the Popularity of PVC Card Printers in Fast-Developing Countries.
I think it boils down to the below 5 factors:
1. The digitalization of national governance and public management: It’s essential for fast-developing countries to establish or upgrade nationally to unify the identity database, including but not limited to personal identity cards, social security cards, and medical care cards. Such scenes require a PVC card printer machine with instant and on-site card printing ability for issuing new cards to individuals. This way, not only are the governance and management simplified, but also tremendous convenience is offered for the cardholders.
2. The standardization of economic and commercial activities: To keep the same pace with the expansion of new companies, PVC card machines are a must-buy to fulfill the need of making cards for employee access control, attendance, internal spending, and data access management. Every new factory, office, and industrial park will need it.
3. The urgent need for security and order control: The rapid urbanization of fast-developing countries, where the traditional social security management approach is doomed to fail, necessitates the PVC card-making machines to come into play and fulfill their duties. They play a crucial role in printing unified and anti-counterfeit identity cards (such as residential cards and improvisational ID cards) to be issued to citizens, which is conducive to enhancing the management of the migrant population, thus maintaining the public security.
4. The booming retail industry & membership services: Membership cards or loyalty cards are widely used in supermarkets, shopping malls, chain stores, gyms, and recreational clubs to induce more frequent patronage from customers and maintain a loyal relationship with them.
5. The fast-paced development of education and the medical system: It’s imperative for newly built schools and campuses to make and issue student ID cards for convenient access to the library, canteen, and a lot of other public scenes. Needless to say, this is a new market with huge potential and sustainability.
Wherever is flooded with waves of new migrants, it necessitates the construction of hospitals and the holistic system of medical care. The most efficient and modernized approach will be issuing medical cards to individuals to unify the management. With one card, all hospitals and clinics can access the personal information, medical insurance status and prescription records of the patient and upgrade their information for synchronizing purposes. This significantly improves the medical security and promotes the management efficiency.
6. The iteration of techniques and anti-counterfeit demand: As I come from a developing country and am turning 40 years old, I witnessed the transitional course from paper certificates to plastic certificates, with the latter equipped with cutting-edge anti-counterfeit technology.
Anti-fraud/scamming: Fast development tends to contribute to the growing number of economic crimes. The security features of holographic lamination, UV invisible printing, microtext, and personalized photos provided by the most delicate ID badge maker machine make counterfeiting almost impossible, preventing the interests of individuals and institutes alike.
Conclusion:
For a nation that is undergoing dramatic social transformation and aims to armor and beautify itself with modernized governance and management, requiring ID card printers to play their part is demanding social order, efficiency, security and management. Therefore, the growth of the market is closely interconnected with the use of ID card printers, which is deemed as sustainable and lasting.
Seeing this great opportunity for business, since 2015, we have been devoting ourselves to the development of ID badge printer machines. To this date, we have launched a number of plastic ID printer models, among them the Masung MS-CH22K 300DPI Double-Sided ID Card Printer, which is the most popular.
Or if you need a cheaper single-sided card printer, we also have the MS-CH22 for your consideration.
