Choosing an ID card printer bundle for your first cards
The question we hear most from organisations starting out is not which printer but what else they need. A card printer on its own prints nothing: it needs a ribbon, blank cards and something to design the card in. An ID card printer bundle answers that in one order, which is why schools, clubs, clinics and small offices across Ireland buy their first printer this way.
The bundles here are built around three printers. The Zebra ZC100 bundle is single-sided, the IDP Smart 31 bundle comes in single-sided and dual-sided versions, and the Authentys Go Green bundle is dual-sided and priced on request. Prices start from €1,210 ex VAT.
Comparing the bundles
| Bundle | Sides | Price ex VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Zebra ZC100 ID Card Printer Bundle | Single | €1,210 |
| IDP Smart 31 ID Card Printer Bundle | Single | €1,300 |
| IDP Smart 31 ID Card Printer Bundle | Dual | €1,650 |
| Authentys Go Green ID Card Printer Bundle | Dual | On request |
Decide single or dual first. If your cards carry emergency contacts or a barcode on the back, the dual-sided IDP Smart 31 bundle saves flipping every card by hand. If the back stays blank, the single-sided bundles do the job for less.
How to print an ID card once the bundle arrives
Install the driver, load ribbon and cards, lay out the card in the software, print one to check the colours, then run the batch. When the ribbon runs out, the printer ribbons and consumables range has the replacement, and blank white cards come in packs of 100 and 500. A card from the printer cleaning kits every few hundred prints keeps the rollers clear. The IDP Smart 31 page shows that printer on its own. If you would rather have cards printed for you, PopiD offers an ID card printing service.

Frequently asked questions
What is in an ID card printer bundle?
The printer plus starter consumables for your first cards. The exact contents vary, so read the listing for the bundle you are considering.
Is a bundle cheaper than buying the parts separately?
It is priced as a package and removes the risk of ordering a ribbon or card that does not suit the printer, which for a first purchase is usually the bigger saving.
Which bundle suits a school in Ireland?
A single-sided bundle covers most student and staff cards. Choose the dual-sided IDP Smart 31 if you print a timetable or library barcode on the back.
For a bundle built around your card volume, call 01 555 5555 and we will put one together at Pace House in Dublin.
