With a legacy of innovation and relationships, the company has empowered over 100,000 clients and produced more than 50 million cards, delivering measurable results in both retail and institutional environments.

Clients benefit from reliable delivery, custom design options, and a focus on long-term success that turns everyday cards into memorable brand touchpoints.

Products & Solutions Plastic Card ID

Our product portfolio centers on commercial-grade plastic card carriers designed to elevate customer engagement and loyalty programs. From gift cards that drive measurable sales increases to membership and alumni credentials that reinforce identity, each solution is engineered for durability and impact across retail, hospitality, and institutional markets.

We provide specialty printing, contactless and magnetic encoding, and a broad selection of materials and finishes to meet branding and operational requirements. These options help businesses create professional, conversion-focused campaigns that outpace paper alternatives and simplify everyday transactions.

Gift Card & Loyalty Programs

Gift cards and loyalty cards are proven to boost sales and repeat visits, often delivering double-digit increases when implemented thoughtfully. Plastic Card ID designs cards that are visually striking and functionally robust, enabling retailers and service providers to create promotions that translate into real revenue gains.

Whether you need standard sizes or unique shapes, our production process ensures high-resolution printing, durable laminates, and precision encoding for loyalty systems. This combination helps brands achieve consistent activation and a polished customer experience.

Membership, ID & Access

From alumni badges to employee ID cards and secure access credentials, our solutions prioritize security and reliability. We offer RFID, MIFARE DESFire, and magnetic stripe options, enabling smooth integration with existing access control and POS systems while preserving brand aesthetics for members and staff.

Our team consults on best practices for card issuance and lifecycle management, advising on encoding, photo ID options, and tamper-resistant features that enhance both perception and protection for client organizations.

Custom Card Carriers & Add-Ons

To complement plastic cards, Plastic Card ID supplies tailored card carriers, sleeves, and affixing services that create a complete product presentation for retail and direct mail campaigns. These value-added services ensure cards arrive professionally packaged and ready for immediate use, improving unboxing moments.

For packaging and mailing solutions, call 800.835.7919 to discuss volume pricing, fulfillment timelines, and custom inserts that elevate customer engagement while simplifying logistics for marketing and operations teams.

Security & Technology

Security is a cornerstone of our offering; we maintain rigorous quality controls and integrate robust encoding options to protect your assets and members. Our team supports secure card issuance, personalization, and lifecycle management for organizations that require a high degree of trust and accountability.

Technology choices are selected to suit each project's goals - from contactless payments and access to barcode and magnetic stripe capabilities. We partner with clients to implement the right mix for performance, compliance, and user convenience.

RFID & Contactless Solutions

Contactless cards, including MIFARE and DESFire variants, provide fast, secure interactions for access control and loyalty programs. These technologies reduce friction at points of service while offering encryption and secure key management for trusted transactions.

Implementation includes careful coordination of encoding, testing, and documentation so your new cards function reliably within existing infrastructures, saving time and reducing post-deployment surprises.

Encoding, Personalization & Quality Control

Personalization services cover photo IDs, custom text, encoding, and variable data printing with stringent checks at every stage. Our inspection protocols ensure each batch meets visual and technical standards, preserving client reputation and minimizing defects.

The result is a consistent, professional product that performs as intended, backed by warranty and support options to protect your investment and provide predictable outcomes for large and recurring orders.

Secure Fulfillment & Support

To coordinate fulfillment and mailing at scale, reach our logistics team at 800.835.7919 for detailed timelines and service options. We handle affixing, insertion, and carrier selection to deliver retail-ready kits direct to recipients or to centralized distribution points.

Our fulfillment services reduce administrative burden for clients, giving them more time to focus on customer engagement while we manage the operational details of packaging and delivery with reliable efficiency.

Customization & Specialty Options

Brands seeking differentiation turn to our specialty options for memorable, tactile experiences that digital channels cannot replicate. We offer clear plastic, custom die-cut shapes, and luxury metal cards that convey exclusivity and permanence for high-value programs.

Customization extends beyond appearance to functional choices like variable encoding, signature panels, and scratch-off PINs. These features can enhance both security and engagement when applied to membership, promotional, or hospitality programs.

Design & Material Choices

From classic PVC to stainless steel and gold-plated metal, material selection is guided by intended use and desired perception. Our design team consults on finish options, edge treatments, and color fidelity to ensure brands are represented faithfully and with premium presence.

Design reviews and digital proofs are part of our process, allowing stakeholders to approve visuals and functional elements before production, ensuring expectations are aligned and results are predictable.

Luxury & Specialty Cards

For premium programs, we produce metal cards, clear plastic variants, and specialty finishes that signal value and exclusivity. These options are ideal for VIP memberships, prestige loyalty programs, and promotional campaigns seeking to create lasting impressions.

Production of specialty items includes additional checks and custom packaging options to maintain the prestige of the final product while meeting operational requirements for shipping and distribution.

Packaging & Custom Carriers

Card presentation matters: custom carriers, sleeves, and inserts increase perceived value and improve redemption rates. Plastic Card ID offers integrated packaging solutions that are designed to protect cards while enhancing unboxing experiences for recipients.

To discuss tailored packaging or branded inserts for a campaign, contact our fulfillment specialists at 800.835.7919 for options, pricing, and sample timelines that align with marketing schedules.

Fulfillment, Mailing & Logistics

End-to-end fulfillment is a core differentiator - we offer affixing, kitting, and USPS-compliant mailing to ensure campaigns reach recipients promptly and intact. This hands-on approach simplifies fulfillment for marketers and operations teams, delivering seamless execution from production to delivery.

Volume mailing programs benefit from our expertise in postal regulations, batch tracking, and recipient personalization. We coordinate print, attach, and mail operations to produce cost-effective, high-quality campaigns at scale.

Affixing & Kitting Services

Our affixing and kitting services assemble cards with carriers, loyalty booklets, and custom collateral to create complete promo kits. This reduces in-house labor and ensures consistent placement, presentation, and quality across every mailed or boxed item.

Clients receive robust QC reporting and tracking information so they can monitor progress and confirm delivery accuracy, enabling data-driven campaign evaluation and improved ROI for recurring mailings.

Direct Mail & Distribution

Mailing programs are executed with careful attention to addressing, postal requirements, and carrier selection to balance cost and delivery speed. We optimize batches to take advantage of postal discounts while maintaining service standards for time-sensitive launches.

Whether distributing locally or internationally, our logistics approach is designed to reduce complexity and deliver measurable outcomes, leaving your team free to focus on creative and strategic priorities.

Inventory Management & Reorders

To streamline replenishment, we offer inventory management solutions and scheduled reorder programs that prevent stockouts for critical cards and kits. Automated reorder thresholds and reporting help clients maintain continuity for membership issuance and retail promotions.

For reorder assistance or inventory consultations, our support line at 800.835.7919 connects you with an account manager who will review historical usage and forecast needs based on campaign cadence and seasonal demand.
