Bold products

Evolis modular card printers boast a stylish design, with printer ribbons that are automatically recognized and housed in easy to handle cartridges. These features, along with Evolis Premium Suite®, are all innovations that have shaped the card printer industry and ensure our customers ease of use and top performance.

Evolis’ flexible solutions to respond to our customers’ needs

Evolis is known for its scalable, flexible solutions. Each card printer can be modified, at the factory or in the field, as appropriate, to meet your specific needs.

Scalability

The Evolis card personalization systems are extremely versatile. You can upgrade your Primacy printer from a single-sided version to a double-sided version with an activation key, easily add encoding modules to Zenius, Primacy and Elypso printers (magnetic stripe, contact or contactless smart cards) in a few simple steps, etc. Depending on the model, these modifications can be configured at the factory or directly at your site.

A project team for custom solutions

One of our strengths is our ability to meet specific customer requirements. We consider all requests, even the most unusual. Once the project feasibility is confirmed, we make every effort to deliver the custom solution you need.

– Industrial agility

The design office and production facilities are located on the same site, for maximum agility and rapid industrialization. Your printing and card personalization systems are made to measure, in record time. We can modify existing printing systems, for example by adding third-party devices. We can also install Evolis printer modules in self-service terminals or other equipment.

Tailored services

Evolis stands out for the versatility of the services we offer. We tailor our services to your specific business or country and are actively involved at all stages of the service chain.

Evolis’ environmental policy at all levels of the company

In light of Evolis’ rapid growth, management quickly realized how important it was to control our environmental footprint and went on to implement a comprehensive environmental management system.

A global philosophy

From constructing an eco-designed building (rainwater recovery, electricity production) to educating employees (waste recycling) our collective and individual initiatives to reduce our environmental impact are part of a global philosophy.

Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of a card printer

To find out how to improve our environmental performance, we hired an outside firm to conduct a life cycle analysis of Evolis card printers. The use phase was shown to be the most polluting, far ahead of the manufacturing, distribution and end of life phases (59% to 98% of the impacts for 9 of the 11 indicators analyzed in 2011 for the Pebble 4 printer). We then took action on these phases in order to reduce their impact.

Eco-designed printers

Evolis restricts the use of hazardous substances in the manufacture of our products, in compliance with the European RoHS directive. For the latest generation of card printers, our engineers have developed an ultra-efficient sleep mode that uses nearly 6 times less energy over the lifetime of the printer (estimated at 5 years).

Environmentally-friendly consumables

To reduce the environmental impact during the use phase of our card printers, Evolis took action with respect to consumables by:

  • increasing the capacity of our color print ribbons (100% more for Primacy, 20% more for Zenius)
  • replacing the ribbon cartridge material with a recycled and recyclable material.
