Zebra CardStudio 2.0 makes it easy to design and print professional ID cards, membership cards, loyalty cards and access cards. It provides a straightforward card design environment with different editions available for basic printing, database integration and advanced smart card applications.
Easy Card Design
Create professional card layouts containing names, photographs, logos, text, barcodes and other information using Zebra's easy-to-use DesignStudio interface.
Data Integration
Depending on the edition selected, CardStudio can work with internal records, Excel and CSV files or external databases to produce cards containing variable information.
Smart Card & Encoding
For advanced applications, CardStudio Professional includes full SmartCard integration. This is the edition to consider where smart card technologies such as MIFARE form part of your card issuing system.

Important Licence Information
Please keep your Zebra CardStudio licence key in a safe place. Your licence key may be required if CardStudio needs to be installed again, transferred to another computer or supported in the future.
ID Solutions cannot reissue or recreate a lost Zebra CardStudio licence key.
If you are replacing a computer, the CardStudio licence should normally be deactivated or disconnected from the original installation before it is activated on the replacement computer. Where a licence reset is required, this may need to be requested directly through Zebra Support.
Not Sure Which Software You Need?
Zebra CardStudio is a good choice for customers using Zebra card printers and wanting Zebra's own card design software. ID Solutions also supplies ID-ALL software, which provides broader printer compatibility and may be better suited to some ID card production workflows. Contact us and we can help you choose the right option.
