Did you know that Fargo 81783 laminates have a shelf life?

Laminate ribbons typically have a shelf life of up to one year, when stored under the proper conditions. Laminates that are not store properly, and are more than one year old, will not print optimally and will likely end up costing more time in maintenance and more money in reprinting cards.

How to find the shelf life?

Look for the manufactured date on the sticker on the box, which is above the part number. If this date is over one year in the past, then your ribbon is past its shelf life.

Fargo's PolyGaurd 81783 lamination material is a secure, tamper-resistant overlaminate. PolyGaurd laminates provide exceptional durability with independent tests showing cards protected with PolyGuard overlamination can withstand 50,000 swipes through a magnetic stripe reader before showing signs of wear. This is compared to competitive cards, where, only after 300 swipes, the cards began to show wear.

PolyGuard is an ideal choice for applications that require a long, highly secure card life.
