A standard proximity card is made from white PVC (plastic) and the same size as a CR80 ID card. If you have used non-prox ID cards in the past, they are often made from the same PVC material.
PVC Card Material & Size
PVC cards are made from thin plastic. These prox cards have a wireless antenna embedded in the PVC to communicate with your access control system, but otherwise look and feel like a non-prox card.
A CR80 card is the size of a credit card, measuring 3.375” x 2.125”. Standard cards are 30mil thick, making them durable but still flexible to withstand some daily wear and tear.
Because of their standard size, PVC prox cards can easily fit into card holders and wallets.
