Product Comparison Q&A: IF1060 vs. IF1066

Feb 17, 2026

Q1: What's the main difference between these two products?

A: The primary difference is the card material and durability:

  • IF1060: Uses a standard 2 mil backer card (thinner, paper-based card)
  • IF1066: Features a 13 mil laminated polyester card (much thicker, plastic-based card with duplex printing capability)

Q2: Which product is more durable?

A: The IF1066 is significantly more durable. Its 13 mil laminated polyester card is:

  • Water-resistant
  • Tear-resistant
  • More professional and elegant in appearance
  • Designed for long-term use

The IF1060's 2-mil backer card is lighter and better suited for short-term or temporary applications.


Q3: Can I print on both sides of the card?

A:

  • IF1066: Yes! This product supports duplex (double-sided) printing on the polyester card
  • IF1060: The 2 mil backer card has limited duplex printing capabilities compared to the polyester option

Q4: Which one should I choose for membership cards or ID badges?

A: Choose IF1066 if you need:

  • Long-lasting membership cards
  • Professional gym or fitness club cards
  • ID badges that will be used frequently
  • Cards that need to withstand daily wear and handling

Choose IF1060 if you need:

  • Temporary cards
  • Budget-friendly options for short-term promotions
  • Simple applications where durability isn't critical

Q5: Is there a price difference?

A: Yes, the IF1066 will typically cost more due to the premium polyester material and enhanced durability. The IF1060 is more economical for basic needs.
