Secure identity documents – from Austria to Africa

Variuscard is part of ID4Africa, in Johannesburg, South Africa from 18th to 20th of June 2019

Also this year Variuscard is part of the ID4Africa movement and presents at the 5th annual conference in South Africa, the “SLIM ID” ID cards with sub-laminate personalization in a thickness of 0,5 mm. For inexpensive, space-saving and secure ID cards from 50,000 to 50 million pieces. The personalization under the laminate offers a perfect solution for public institutions such as public authorities, schools, universities, and other state institutions, as well as federal states or municipalities to print large numbers of badges securely, quickly, cost-effective. The ID4Africa Annual Conference 2019 is attended by ambassadors, ministers and high dignitaries from over 30 countries.

Why do African people need secure IDs?

To date, a large part of the African population has not been covered by the state at all and can therefore not receive a corresponding basic supply of important resources such as food or water. Access to education or to appropriate health care is also linked to the recording of one’s own identity. Only through a registered identity is it possible for people in Africa to have access to important resources and thus a better life. Identities can be registered by means of ID cards, securely verified on the spot and state support distributed fairly.

SLIM ID cards as thin as paper, durable and secure as bank cards

Under the name “SLIM ID”, Variuscard offers the possibility of personalizing large quantities of thin plastic cards in the shortest possible time. Perfect for the production of large numbers of cards, as they are needed for the simultaneous registration of many people. SLIM ID stands for forgery-proof ID cards with photo printing and personalization under a protective laminate layer.

50 years of experience for your secure ID documents

This additional layer makes it possible that the personalization can’t be manipulated by external influences. SLIM ID cards convince by a high quality, best known from bank or credit cards, as well as a card thickness of 0.5 mm (0.02 inch). The slim ID cards require hardly any space as they are as thin as paper cards, but high quality and stable as bank cards.

In addition, the cards are made of high-quality PVC composite and are therefore more heat-resistant, durable and stable than regular PVC cards. The SLIM ID cards can also be provided with additional security features such as micro-lettering, guilloche printing or UV printing.
