The Evolis R2016 is a premium metallic monochrome ribbon designed to add a touch of prestige and elegance to your plastic cards. This Gold resin ribbon is the professional choice for organisations looking to produce high-end cards that stand out, providing a luxurious metallic finish that is far superior to standard non-metallic yellow tones.

With an impressive yield of 1,000 prints per roll, the R2016 is an exceptionally cost-effective solution for creating premium identification. The high-quality metallic resin ensures that gold text, intricate logos, and decorative borders bond perfectly to PVC cards, providing a brilliant, reflective finish that is both smudge-resistant and durable.
