The main difference between laser engraving and inkjet printing lies in durability, security, and application. Laser engraving is permanent and highly secure, as it modifies the card material itself. It is ideal for government ID cards and high-security applications. Inkjet (including DOD printing) applies ink on the surface, making it suitable for colorful designs but less resistant to wear and tampering. PIOTEC card personalisation solutions support both technologies, enabling customers to choose or combine them based on project requirements, such as using laser for security and DOD for visual elements.
