Plastic Card ID provides a wide portfolio of card types including gift cards, loyalty cards, membership badges, hotel key cards, casino player cards, and secure access credentials.

Working with us gives you access to value-added services such as card affixing, custom carriers, sleeves, and full-service mailing. These integrated solutions create a turnkey program that saves time and reduces vendor complexity while enabling a cohesive campaign from production through delivery.

Plastic Business Cards deliver durability, consistency, and a lasting impression that paper alternatives rarely match. In retail environments they drive repeat purchases; in membership programs they foster loyalty and recognition. The tactile nature of a high-quality card translates into perceived value and brand prestige that customers remember long after the first interaction.

Beyond aesthetics, Plastic Business Cards support functional needs-encoding for contactless access, secure printing for identification, and resilience for daily use. For marketers and operations teams alike, these cards act as both promotional tools and reliable operational instruments that keep brands top-of-mind.

Our product line addresses both marketing and operational needs, offering an extensive range of custom Plastic Business Cards that can be printed, encoded, and finished to exact specifications. Brands choose us for consistent color fidelity, reliable encoding options, and finishes that elevate perceived value and durability across use cases.

We also provide an array of service enhancements-fulfillment, direct mail, card affixing, and tailored packaging-that transform individual cards into complete campaigns. These services reduce complexity and maintain a single point of accountability from production to distribution for measurable campaign success.

Gift cards are a high-impact revenue driver, and when produced as premium Plastic Business Cards they consistently outperform paper equivalents. Retailers often report significant uplifts in average order value and repeat visits after launching professionally designed gift card programs with strong branding and durable materials.

Proven sales lift and improved redemption rates stem from cards that look and feel valuable; add magnetic stripes or RFID chips to integrate with POS systems and track campaign performance. Use these cards to stimulate new business and retain loyal customers with a tangible brand reminder that lasts.

Membership and loyalty cards perform double duty: they reward customers and act as persistent brand reminders. Our loyalty solutions include personalized printing, barcodes, magnetic encoding, and contactless options to create seamless, secure experiences for frequent users while supporting your CRM and analytics strategies.

Security and technical capability are central to many Plastic Business Cards, especially for access control, hospitality, and gaming industries. Plastic Card ID integrates advanced encoding, secure printing techniques, and tamper-resistant features to meet the functional needs of clients while protecting cardholder data and institutional assets.

From custom holographic overlays to encrypted contactless chips, our solutions are specified to the security requirements of each client. We prioritize compliant technologies such as MIFARE DESFire for sensitive applications, combining robust encryption with frictionless user experiences.

Organizations rely on our cards for secure door access, timekeeping, and identification. Our access control cards can be tailored for compatibility with popular systems, encoded with unique IDs, and printed with variable data to streamline onboarding and daily operations across campuses, hotels, and corporate facilities.

Advanced security features, including tamper-evident printing and secure encoding, help reduce fraud and simplify administration. These cards are durable for daily usage and engineered to preserve readability and chip performance over long service lives.

Contactless Plastic Business Cards that employ RFID or NFC technology offer rapid, hands-free interactions for both access and payment-adjacent use cases. Engineering these cards requires precise chip placement and robust manufacturing controls to ensure consistent read performance in varied environments.

For clients needing high-assurance technology, we can include MIFARE DESFire encoding with secure key management. To discuss specific system compatibility please contact our operations team directly at 800.835.7919, and we'll tailor a solution that integrates smoothly with your infrastructure.

Customization is a core strength: our design and production teams work with clients to create Plastic Business Cards that reflect brand identity and achieve campaign objectives. From full-bleed printing and spot UV to custom shapes and edge printing, every detail is an opportunity to reinforce recognition and perceived value.

We guide decisions on materials, thickness, and finishing to match intended use and budget. Whether you need a premium, tactile finish for a direct mail campaign or a cost-effective PVC option for high-volume programs, our recommendations prioritize durability, aesthetics, and measurable return.

Our designers collaborate with brands to convert concepts into production-ready artwork, managing color profiles, bleed, and variable data printing for personalization. We ensure brand consistency across runs so every Plastic Business Card reflects your identity accurately and vibrantly in both small and large quantities.

For campaigns requiring personalization, we handle serialization, photos, barcodes, and magnetic stripe encoding with precision. This attention to detail supports targeted retention programs and enables meaningful data capture to analyze campaign effectiveness.

Special finishes like matte, gloss, spot UV, and metallic foils can transform ordinary cards into high-impact brand statements. Custom shapes and die-cut options add novelty and collectibility, making cards more likely to be retained and used frequently by recipients.

Premium finishes and bespoke shapes are particularly effective for gift cards and promotional mailers, where the tactile experience influences perceived value. Our manufacturing controls ensure consistent results across any chosen finish or form factor.
