Plastic cards serve a myriad of purposes, from gift cards to membership and loyalty programs, to name badges and more. Ensuring that these cards endure daily handling, environmental factors, and the test of time is crucial. A worn or damaged card reflects poorly on your brand, while a pristine one upholds your image and consistently delivers your message.

At PCID , we know that these little pieces of plastic are more than just cards; they're a physical representation of your brand. That's why we put a heavy emphasis on durability to make sure they keep looking great, years down the line.

Our vast array of design options means that customizing your cards to your exact specifications is easy-and you won't have to compromise on durability. We use high-quality, resilient plastic and state-of-the-art printing techniques to marry robust functionality with aesthetic appeal.

From vibrant colors that catch the eye to subtle accents that add a touch of class, our design capabilities ensure your cards stand out. With us, you can be certain that your cards will impress your audience at first glance and maintain that impact over time.

Selecting the right printing method is key to a card's longevity. Our experts guide you through choices like thermal transfer, dye sublimation, and digital printing, explaining the benefits and applications of each to help make an informed decision.

With Plastic Card ID , you get access to a breadth of knowledge ensuring that the printing method chosen aligns perfectly with your usage requirements, budget, and the image you want to portray.

Delving deeper, each printing technique we offer has its own unique advantages, and our team helps you navigate these options. We cover everything from the most cost-effective methods to the most resilient, assuring that your selections are perfectly tailored to your needs.

Our experts stay abreast of the latest advancement in printing technologies, guaranteeing that your cards receive the most modern treatments, for results that last.

Thermal transfer printing is a fantastic choice for long-lasting text and simple graphics. This method uses a thermal print head to transfer wax or resin-based ink from a ribbon onto the card. It's especially good for barcodes and text-which won't smudge or fade away.

Reliability and simplicity are the hallmarks of this technique, making it a go-to for many of our customers looking for straightforward yet durable card printing solutions.

Dye sublimation takes it up a notch, offering vivid, photo-quality prints that truly make your cards pop. The process involves the transition of dye onto the card surface at a molecular level, resulting in smooth, detailed images that resist fading.

For those seeking top-tier visual appeal without sacrificing card lifespan, dye sublimation is an impeccable choice. Whether it's intricate designs or photorealistic images, this method ensures your cards retain their excellence.

Digital printing stands out for its precision and versatility. It's a direct-to-card method where images are printed in high resolution, allowing for complex designs and a broad spectrum of colors.

With digital printing, you get highly detailed cards that maintain clarity and color integrity, even after extensive use. And, of course, our team ensures that the cards produced are as robust as they are beautiful.

Adding an extra layer of protection, PCID offers various coatings and laminates. These layers safeguard the printed material from scratches, chemicals, and UV light, significantly extending the life of your cards.

Experts recommend this for high-use applications, giving your cards that extra durability to withstand virtually anything daily use throws their way.

Remember, taking the initiative to recycle contributes to a cleaner environment and a more sustainable future. If you have questions about recycling your plastic cards, just give us a call at 800.835.7919 .
