Solutions for Marketing

Plastic business cards and promotional plastic products create a memorable touchpoint that digital messages rarely match. Marketing teams use these tangible assets to increase customer acquisition, produce repeat visits, and uplift revenue through campaigns that convert at higher rates than traditional paper alternatives.

By integrating custom printing with targeted distribution like postcard mailers and affixed gift cards, brands see measurable response improvements. These solutions are engineered to produce long-term value, not a fleeting impression, by encouraging repeat interactions with customers.

Campaign Case Studies

Retail clients shifting from paper certificates to plastic gift cards have reported dramatic performance gains, sometimes doubling response rates and seeing increases in total sales. Case studies highlight how a premium physical product can shift consumer perception and yield sustained revenue growth across multiple seasons.

These successes are a testament to the power of a tangible brand asset that is deliberately designed to be retained and reused, resulting in higher lifetime customer value and improved campaign ROI.

Security & Access Control

Security and identity solutions are a core specialty, ranging from secure ID badges to RFID smart cards and hotel key cards. Plastic Card ID builds credentials that not only identify but also control access, integrating contactless technologies like MIFARE DESFire for reliable performance and secure authentication.

Organizations that prioritize security benefit from robust printing, durable materials, and optional secure elements that reduce fraud and unauthorized access, while maintaining a seamless user experience for staff and guests.

Secure ID Badges

Custom ID badges for corporate, educational, and union environments are engineered for longevity and clarity, improving on-site security and professional presence. Advanced printing techniques and lamination options help resist wear, fading, and tampering, preserving both aesthetics and functionality.

Issuers can select photo ID, barcodes, magnetic stripes, or contactless encoding to meet specific security policies and operational workflows for daily use and long-term identification.

RFID & Access Cards

RFID-enabled player cards, access credentials, and hotel keys provide contactless interaction and streamlined entry. These products are suitable for hospitality, gaming, and corporate environments that demand both convenience and encryption-backed security for frequent user transactions.

Integration with property management systems or access control platforms is facilitated through our encoding and testing services, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance during deployment.
