With decades of focused experience and a client-first approach, the company serves marketers, retailers, and organizations seeking measurable, long-lasting results through physical tokens of value.

Our heritage includes partnerships with more than 100,000 businesses and the sale of over 50 million cards, establishing a reputation for reliability and innovation. We combine thoughtful consulting with advanced manufacturing so clients enjoy exceptional quality and tangible marketing outcomes that drive repeat engagement.

From bespoke loyalty programs to secure ID systems, our history reflects continuous refinement of craft and service. We operate as more than a vendor; we act as a strategic ally who helps clients translate ideas into durable cards that deliver proven ROI, such as higher redemption and retention rates.

That legacy is built on trust, careful project management, and a commitment to lasting brand impressions. Clients choose us when value, consistency, and a partner-oriented process are non-negotiable components of their marketing and operational plans.

Our product range spans gift cards, loyalty cards, membership IDs, RFID and contactless smart cards such as MIFARE DESFire, hotel key cards, and specialty metal or clear plastic options. Every product is engineered for performance, longevity, and visual impact so brands can achieve memorable customer touchpoints.

We do not produce financial-credit cards; instead, our focus is strictly on business-driven custom solutions that include value-added services such as sleeves, carriers, full-service affixing, and mailing to simplify execution and improve campaign reach.

Plastic Card ID works with retailers, hospitality groups, educational institutions, casinos, unions, and franchise networks-organizations that need secure credentials, access control, and promotional tools that truly perform. Our client base values strategic partnership and measurable improvements in customer engagement.

Our design-to-delivery process supports brands at every stage: concepting, proofing, printing, encoding, and fulfillment. Clients receive hands-on guidance to ensure cards represent core messaging while meeting technical requirements for encoding and physical handling.

We collaborate with your marketing and creative teams to refine artworks for print, recommending finishes and protective coatings that enhance appearance and longevity. Our designers focus on legibility, color contrast, and branding elements that elevate the unboxing or swipe experience.

When appropriate we suggest premium touches like foil accents or spot UV to create standout pieces that drive redemption rates and customer delight, making your program feel intentional and valuable.

Full-service mailing, including card affixing to carriers, fulfillment kitting, and postal optimization, is offered to streamline campaigns and reduce the administrative burden on clients. This service ensures coordinated delivery and a cohesive brand presentation upon arrival.

By handling fulfillment internally, we deliver greater control over timing, quality, and cost. This integrated approach produces measurable campaign efficiencies and simplifies vendor management for busy marketing teams.

Security and quality are at the heart of our PVC card manufacturing. We offer magnetic encoding, secure barcodes, holographic overlays, and contactless chips to support access control, member authentication, and loyalty redemption with industry-leading technology.

Our QA processes include rigorous testing for adhesion, chip performance, and print durability so each delivered card functions reliably over years of daily use. This focus minimizes replacements and protects client reputation.

PVC substrates are selected for resilience and formed to industry-standard thicknesses to resist bending and wear. Optional coatings help guard against abrasion and color fade, ensuring cards remain functional and visually appealing throughout their lifecycle.

When longevity matters, clients choose finishes and protective layers that preserve imagery and reduce maintenance. These choices contribute to prolonged brand exposure and a better customer experience over time.

We implement secure features such as magnetic stripes, encrypted chips like MIFARE DESFire, and tamper-evident holograms for environments that demand robust authentication. Casinos, hotels, and corporate campuses rely on our cards to balance convenience and safety.

Our technicians can advise on the best access control strategy for your site and will arrange encoding and testing before shipment. For service coordination and technical questions call 800.835.7919 and speak directly to an access specialist.

Plastic Card ID stands behind its craftsmanship with warranties and service commitments that protect clients against manufacturing defects and encoding errors. Our goal is to reduce downtime and ensure a smooth roll-out across locations and systems.

The warranty framework and service-level agreements support long-term partnerships; clients appreciate the predictability and accountability that come with working with an experienced PVC card printing provider.
