E-Shram cards are in high demand. Every laborer needs a durable PVC card. But for a shop owner (CSC/E-Mitra), the Cost of Printing is the biggest enemy.
The Problem: An A4 PVC Sheet (Dragon Sheet) costs ₹15-20. If you print one card on it, your cost is ₹25 (Sheet + Ink). If you sell it for ₹30, you make only ₹5 profit.
The Solution: Print 5 cards on one A4 sheet. Your cost divides by 5. Your profit skyrockets. Cost per card drops to ₹5 only.
💰 300% More Profit
Single Print Profit: ₹5 per card.
Batch Print Profit: ₹25 per card.
Don't work hard, work smart.

Pro Tips for E-Mitra Operators
- Mirror Image: If using Dragon Sheets, ALWAYS print in Mirror Mode. The heat transfer flips the image back to normal.
- Cutting: Use a Die Cutter for professional rounded corners. Hand-cut cards look cheap and hurt the customer's wallet.
- Brighten: E-Shram cards are often dark. Enhance brightness by 10% before printing for better visibility on PVC.
