ID card printer price in Bangladesh starts from around ৳79,000 and can go up to ৳125,000+ depending on brand, features, and dual-side printing options. Explore high-quality printers, accessories, and best deals for business, office, and school use
Choosing the right ID card printer can make or break how your office, school, hospital, or factory handles identification and access control. Whether you’re printing employee cards, student IDs, patient cards, or membership cards, the printer you choose determines print quality, durability, and long-term running cost. This guide covers everything you need to know about ID card printer prices in Bangladesh, the top models available, and how to pick the right one for your organization.
At Universe IT, ID card printer prices currently range from ৳79,000 to ৳125,000+, depending on the brand, single-side vs. dual-side printing capability, and included accessories. Below, we break down every available model, ribbon, and printhead so you can make an informed decision.
A dedicated ID card printer is built specifically for printing on PVC cards — not paper. Unlike regular office printers, ID card printers use thermal transfer or dye-sublimation technology to produce sharp text, vivid photos, and durable finishes that hold up to daily handling. Organizations that print ID cards regularly — schools, corporate offices, hospitals, gyms, and factories — save significantly by owning an in-house printer instead of outsourcing every batch.
If your printing needs are occasional rather than continuous, it may be more economical to use a print service instead. Universe IT also offers a full Card Print service for businesses that prefer outsourced printing without buying equipment.
Below is the complete list of ID card printers, printheads, and ribbons currently available, with updated pricing.
The Evolis Primacy 2 Dual Side ID Card Printer is the top-tier option for organizations that need to print on both sides of a card in a single pass. It’s ideal for corporate ID cards, membership cards, and access cards that carry information on both the front and back — such as photo and barcode on one side, terms or QR codes on the other. Dual-side printing eliminates the need to manually flip cards, saving time on large print runs.
Best for: Corporate offices, universities, and organizations with high-volume dual-sided card printing needs.
The HiTi CS200e Dual Side ID Card Printer offers dual-side printing at a slightly more accessible price point than the Evolis Primacy 2. It’s a reliable choice for mid-sized businesses and institutions that need consistent two-sided card output without paying a premium for enterprise-grade features.
Best for: Growing businesses, schools, and clinics needing dual-side printing on a moderate budget.
For organizations that only need to print on one side of the card, the HiTi CS200e Single Side ID Card Printer is the most affordable entry point into professional ID card printing. It delivers the same print quality as its dual-side counterpart, minus the automatic flip mechanism — a smart choice if your cards only need front-side information.
Best for: Small offices, schools, and startups looking for budget-friendly, single-sided ID card printing.
Printheads are the most critical (and most replaced) component of any card printer. Choosing genuine, compatible printheads extends the life of your machine and keeps print quality sharp.
Genuine printheads matter more than most buyers realize — a mismatched or low-quality head can distort print quality, jam the printer, and void your warranty. Always confirm compatibility with your exact printer model before ordering a replacement head. You can browse the complete range on the ID Card Head category page.
Ribbons determine your ongoing “cost per card” and are the most frequently reordered accessory for any ID card printer.
YMCKO ribbons (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, Overlay) are used for full-color photo ID printing with a protective overlay that resists scratches and fading. If you print in high volume, always keep a spare ribbon in stock to avoid downtime. Explore the full ribbon lineup on the ID Card Ribbon page.
Once you have a printer, printhead, and ribbon sorted, you’ll need blank cards to print on.
For organizations that also need contactless access control built into their ID cards, Universe IT stocks a wider range of blank stock on the PVC Card and RFID Card category pages — useful if your ID cards double as access cards or attendance cards.

|---|---|---|---|
| Price | ৳125,000 | ৳110,000 | ৳79,000 |
| Printing sides | Both sides | Both sides | Front only |

If budget isn’t the primary constraint and you need dual-side, high-durability output for corporate or institutional use, the Evolis Primacy 2 is the stronger long-term investment. If you’re a smaller organization printing basic single-sided ID cards, the HiTi CS200e Single Side offers the best value for money.
Several factors influence how much you’ll pay for an ID card printer:
If your organization needs a mix of pre-designed and printed cards rather than an in-house printer, Universe IT’s Card Print service covers ID, membership, gift, discount, and visitor card printing without requiring equipment ownership.
One of the most common questions organizations ask before buying an ID card printer is whether it’s actually cheaper than outsourcing to a print shop. The answer depends entirely on volume.
If you print fewer than 20–30 cards per month, outsourcing through a service like Universe IT’s Card Print — priced around ৳50 per card — is usually more economical than the upfront cost of a printer, printhead, and ribbon supply. You avoid maintenance, storage of consumables, and the learning curve of operating the machine yourself.
However, once your organization crosses into higher volumes — schools issuing hundreds of student IDs each term, offices onboarding employees regularly, or hospitals issuing daily patient cards — owning a printer like the HiTi CS200e Single Side or Evolis Primacy 2 Dual Side pays for itself within months. The per-card cost of ribbon and blank PVC stock is far lower than ৳50 once you’re printing in bulk, and you gain full control over turnaround time — no waiting on an external vendor for reprints or corrections.
A simple rule of thumb: if same-day or same-hour card issuance matters to your operations (for example, onboarding a new employee or replacing a lost student ID immediately), an in-house printer is almost always worth the investment.
Many first-time buyers underestimate how much the single-side vs. dual-side decision affects both price and workflow.
Single-side printers, like the HiTi CS200e Single Side, print only on the front of the card. This works well when your card only needs a photo, name, ID number, and logo — common for basic student IDs, visitor badges, and simple staff cards.
Dual-side printers, like the HiTi CS200e Dual Side and Evolis Primacy 2 Dual Side, print both sides in a single automated pass. This is essential if your cards carry additional information on the back — terms and conditions, emergency contact details, a barcode or QR code, or a magnetic stripe/RFID chip layout. For corporate and institutional use where the card doubles as an access credential, dual-side printing is usually the better long-term choice, even at a higher upfront cost.
Before deciding, sketch out exactly what information your card needs to display. This single step prevents buyers from either overpaying for dual-side capability they’ll never use, or under-buying a single-side printer and needing to upgrade later.
The sticker price of the printer is only part of the total investment. To budget accurately, factor in:
Budgeting for these recurring costs upfront prevents surprises later and helps you compare the true cost of the Evolis Primacy 2 against the HiTi CS200e models more accurately — not just the initial purchase price.
