The Evolis LPA047NAA is a dual-sided laminate overlay ribbon designed specifically for smart contact card programmes — the kind where chip functionality matters as much as card durability. The face side features a precision cut-out that sits clear of the smart contact chip, preserving signal integrity without sacrificing surface protection. The reverse receives a full clear laminate layer. Both sides protected, nothing compromised.

With 600 prints per roll, this ribbon suits organisations issuing cards at volume. The laminate overlay is rated for a card lifespan of up to three years — meaningful for access cards, staff IDs, or any credential expected to survive daily handling, bag pockets, and the occasional spill. Compatible with the Evolis Primacy and Primacy 2 card printers.

Before ordering, confirm this ribbon matches your printer model. The LPA047NAA is a lamination-only ribbon — it requires a separate colour or monochrome print ribbon for card personalisation.
