What material is used for the 2025 Texas novelty ID?

The 2025 Texas novelty ID is manufactured using 100% multi-layer polycarbonate (PC) for maximum durability and a realistic physical feel. Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic material that is significantly harder and more heat-resistant than standard PVC plastic. When you drop a PC card on a marble or glass counter, it produces a distinct, high-pitched metallic clink sound rather than a dull thud. This material allows for laser engraving, where the cardholder's data and portrait are burned into the inner layers of the card rather than printed on top. This makes the text impossible to scratch off or alter without destroying the card itself. The Texas design also includes a tactile Lone Star seal that can be felt by running your thumb over the card surface. Our Texas cards are 30-mil thick, matching the official ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard used by government agencies and professional prop masters.
