HiTi CS200 Scratch Ribbon

HiTi CS200 Scratch Ribbon: Overview

The HiTi CS200 Scratch Ribbon (model: CS‑2 SO) is a premium consumable designed to add a protective scratch‑off layer to PVC cards printed with HiTi card printers — ideal for hiding sensitive information such as PIN codes, passwords, activation codes or other confidential data until the card owner scratches it off.

Key Features & Benefits

• Scratch-off security layer: The ribbon applies a silver opaque coating over printed security data, preventing unauthorized viewing of PINs, activation codes or sensitive card information until the layer is removed.

• Compatibility: Works seamlessly with HiTi CS200 series printers — including CS200, CS220, CS220e, CS290e — making it a natural choice for existing HiTi installations.

• Large print capacity: Each ribbon roll supports up to 2000 card prints, enabling high‑volume production of scratch‑off cards.

• Suitable for standard PVC cards: Optimized for standard CR‑80 (ISO 7810) PVC card formats — common for gift cards, loyalty cards, voucher cards, membership cards and scratch‑off promotional cards.

• Versatile applications: Perfect for use in:

  • Gift cards, reward or loyalty cards

  • Activation cards (e.g., prepaid or top-up cards)

  • Promotional or raffle cards with hidden codes

  • Warranty, authenticity or guarantee cards

  • Any card requiring secure information concealment

• Cost‑effective alternative: A budget‑smart replacement for proprietary consumables — offering reliable scratch protection without compromising print quality.

Why Choose HiTi CS200 Scratch Ribbon

Using the HiTi CS200 Scratch Ribbon effectively upgrades your PVC card printing workflow by adding security and confidentiality. Instead of printing codes openly on cards (making them vulnerable to misuse or fraud), the scratch‑off layer ensures that sensitive information remains concealed until the rightful cardholder reveals it.

This makes the ribbon especially valuable for organizations issuing cards with prepaid balances, activation codes, vouchers, or any cards requiring secure reveal of data — such as telecom top-up cards, gift or reward cards, promotional campaigns, membership cards with secret PINs, or cards needing one-time activation.

Moreover, by relying on a consumable designed for high volume (2000 cards per ribbon), you gain efficiency and cost savings over time — particularly for enterprises or businesses with frequent card issuance.
