Permanent marker isn't as permanent as you would think when it comes to plastic.
What would work is using clear plastic mailing labels, running them through a word processing program with the information and attaching one to the back of the card.
Since they are clear it will not detract form the professionalism of the card.

Yes a permanent marker will stay on a laminated business card as long as the laminate stays put for 5 years so should the permanent marker ink (unless someone physically tries to remove it that is).

ya....sharpies will work.
just let them dry well before touching
I'm looking at the other questions and either I'm confused with the question or everyone else is...
you want to know if permanent marker will wash off laminated cards right?
no that's why it's permanent. It may fade after a while but than it can just be touched up with permanent marker.
Why not write what needs to be on them then laminate them? then they wont ever fade!

You can remove permanent marker from a dry-erase board by using a dry-erase marker. Simply write over the permanent marking with the dry-erase and wipe off. It's that easy!!
I have never tried it on a laminated business card, but it's worth a try. Good luck!

For absolute security you need to laminate the cards AFTER they have had the person-specific data added. There is NO alternative.

From experiance most permanent markers are not very permanent, it should wash off with soap and water, if now try adding sugar to liquid soap thats works quite well for most things on skin(ground in oil/grease ect..)

I wouldn't laminate them, just have a blank for the people to write on.
