The best materials for long-lasting school ID card ribbons include resin and dye-sublimation ribbons, which ensure sharp, durable prints. High-quality polyester-based ribbons resist fading, scratches, and smudging, making IDs last longer. UV-resistant and eco-friendly materials enhance longevity while reducing environmental impact. Opt for premium thermal transfer ribbons for clear text and vibrant colors. Choosing the right materials ensures cost-effective, high-quality ID printing for schools.
