Table of Contents [Show]

For over a quarter of a century, Plastic Card ID (PCID) has been a trusted partner in delivering high-quality, custom-printed plastic cards that elevate brand visibility and customer engagement. Our heritage blends precision printing, modern materials, and hands-on service to ensure each card performs as a strategic marketing and operational asset for businesses of every size.

PCID has empowered more than 100,000 businesses and sold over 50 million cards, proving the tangible value of physical deliverables in a digital-first world. Our solutions span gift and loyalty cards to secure ID badges and RFID-enabled access credentials, all backed by practical warranties and commitment to long-term client success.

Over decades of focused craftsmanship, PCID has built an unmatched production and distribution network that supports local and national brands alike. Our work demonstrates a consistent record of measurable outcomes, including dramatic increases in promotional uptake and repeat purchase behavior. Clients rely on our dependable supply chain and accuracy at scale to protect their brand reputation.

Operating with an emphasis on relationship-driven service, we pair flexible minimums with efficient batch processing, allowing startups and enterprise customers to access the same high standards. This breadth of experience is a clear competitive differentiator that has fueled growth across retail, hospitality, education, and public sector markets.

PCID produces a comprehensive portfolio of plastic card products tailored to marketing, membership, security, and specialty use cases. Offerings include gift and loyalty cards, durable membership cards, alumni credentials, hotel key cards, casino player cards, and contactless RFID solutions like MIFARE DESFire. Each product is customizable to match brand aesthetics and operational needs.

Specialty options such as clear plastics, custom die-cut shapes, and luxury metal cards in stainless steel or plated finishes allow brands to craft unforgettable physical experiences. With accessory services like custom carriers, sleeves, and full-service mailing, we provide seamless fulfillment that elevates every campaign's presentation and response rates.

Physical cards create lasting impressions that digital messages rarely achieve, translating into measurable financial impact for retailers and organizations. Gift cards alone often increase sales by 35-50%, while professional plastic certificates can double redemption rates compared to paper alternatives. These are not incidental benefits but predictable outcomes of thoughtfully designed card programs.

Beyond marketing, physical cards secure identity and access while fostering belonging among members and staff. Our secure ID badges and access cards are engineered to improve safety and administrative efficiency, combining durable materials with advanced security features for peace of mind and streamlined operations.

Our production capabilities combine traditional printing expertise with modern digital tooling to deliver both small runs and high-volume projects without sacrificing quality. From offset color fidelity to secure encoding, PCID maintains stringent quality control at every stage to ensure cards meet client specifications and regulatory requirements when required.

We focus on turnkey solutions that integrate design, production, encoding, packaging, and fulfillment. That full-service approach reduces vendor complexity and accelerates time to market, allowing teams to execute promotional campaigns and operational rollouts with confidence and predictable results.

Gift cards, promotional postcards, and branded loyalty pieces are crafted to maximize customer engagement and redemption rates. We provide multiple substrates, finishes, and design consultations to ensure each piece aligns with brand strategy and converts at higher rates. Retailers frequently experience significant upticks in traffic after converting paper initiatives to plastic cards.

Combining durable materials with premium finishes such as soft-touch lamination or metallic foils gives campaigns an elevated look and improved perceived value. These options are not decorative alone; they are proven to enhance response and retention among target audiences.

From prepress review to final shipping, our production workflow is engineered for clarity and precision, featuring automated checks and human oversight. If you need assistance during the process, our team is available to consult on artwork, encoding, and mailing strategies to ensure the campaign achieves its goals.

Security and access control are core strengths, with solutions that include magnetic stripe encoding, barcode printing, and contactless RFID programming for systems like MIFARE DESFire. These features are integrated to meet the needs of casinos, hotels, universities, and corporate environments where reliable access and fraud mitigation are essential.

Key security features are available in combinations to suit operational requirements, including high-security inks, tamper-evident laminates, and secure serialization. Clients benefit from industry-standard encryption and encoding practices that protect both data and trust in everyday interactions.

Designing effective loyalty and membership programs requires more than attractive cards; it demands strategic thinking about user experience, reward mechanics, and data capture. PCID partners with marketing teams to translate program goals into tangible items that drive participation and deliver measurable ROI across channels.

Identity and access solutions are engineered for durability, clarity, and ease of use, supporting long-term issuance and repeated use.

PCID's manufacturing philosophy blends rigorous quality assurance with environmental awareness, ensuring each production run meets aesthetic and performance standards while minimizing waste.

PCID pursues sustainable manufacturing through smarter material use, recycling programs, and efficient production scheduling. By optimizing layouts and reducing waste, we lower environmental impact while still delivering robust, long-lasting products that avoid frequent replacement and therefore reduce overall lifecycle consumption.

We also work with clients to select recyclable materials and discuss end-of-life options for cards that help align physical marketing and credentialing programs with broader sustainability goals and corporate responsibility commitments.
