Best Evolis CLM-Card Lamination Module

Protect your cards up to 10 years

The CLM-Card Lamination Module is the ideal module to laminate ID cards. The cards made can be used for up to 10 years¹ and are extremely difficult to forge.

Two issuance modes to choose to laminate your cards

Associated with the Primacy card printer

Developed by Evolis, the CLM-Card Lamination Module is associated with the Evolis Primacy printer and is an all-in-one system for printing, encoding, and laminating cards that need to be secure and/or protected.

In standalone mode

The CLM-Card Lamination Module can also operate in standalone mode and with card-to-card insertion. You can secure and/or protect cards préviously printed in D2T2 with any printing system.

The CLM is a versatile offer to target applications like:

• Secure employee badges,
• Driver’s licenses,
• Resident cards,
• Military or police ID badges,
• Airport access control badges,
• Social security cards.

Easy to use

The CLM-Card Lamination Module module is easy to use and can be used in a standalone mode or associated with a Primacy card printer.

The CLM-Card Lamination Module also connects directly to a PC (in standalone mode) via an USB cable. The films are installed intuitively and all the laminates are automatically recognized by CLM and Primacy.
