About Plastic Card ID

Plastic Card ID (PCID) has built a reputation as a strategic partner for brands that need durable, high-impact printed solutions. With a history of empowering over 100,000 businesses and delivering more than 50 million cards, PCID emphasizes lasting physical connections that drive measurable outcomes for marketing and operations.

PCID specializes in custom plastic solutions-gift cards, loyalty cards, membership IDs, and targeted promotional tools like Plastic Postcard Mailers-that consistently outperform paper alternatives. By marrying precision printing and value-added services such as sleeves, carriers, and full-service mailing, PCID simplifies campaigns and amplifies response rates for clients nationwide.

What Sets Plastic Card ID Apart

PCID's difference is its relentless focus on quality and partnership. From specialty materials like clear plastic and custom-shaped cards to advanced RFID options, the product range is built to be both distinctive and functional. Clients value the company's commitment to secure identity solutions and unwavering product consistency across runs.

Through consultative service and production expertise, PCID offers tailored recommendations that align creative intent with operational requirements. The result is a streamlined program that helps marketers, membership directors, and operations managers achieve greater engagement and long-term loyalty with every printed piece.

Performance of Plastic Postcard Mailers

Plastic Postcard Mailers produced by PCID consistently deliver higher response rates and stronger brand recall than paper promotions. These durable mailers arrive as tangible brand statements that recipients keep longer, often increasing redemption, repeat purchases, and lifetime customer value for retailers and service providers.

Because the cards are designed to be handled and preserved, they create recurring impressions each time a recipient accesses stored value or presents a loyalty card. PCID's production standards ensure every mailer performs well in postage, insertion, and delivery while preserving an attractive, professional finish.

Service Guarantees and Support

PCID backs its solutions with robust service practices, including quality checks, secure printing workflows, and order verification that reduce risk and ensure on-time delivery. These processes reflect a dedication to customer success and help protect campaigns from delays and production errors.

At PCID, creativity meets rigorous production capability. The company produces everything from standard loyalty cards to unique custom shapes and luxury metal finishes for clients wanting to make a memorable impression. Every project receives tailored engineering to meet aesthetic goals and functional needs.

Advanced printing techniques and secure manufacturing environments allow for specialized impressions such as spot varnish, foil stamping, and serialized numbering. These treatments enhance perceived value and make gift cards or membership pieces feel truly premium and collectible.

Materials, Finishes, and Special Options

PCID offers a wide palette of materials and finishes, including clear plastic, resilient PVC blends, and luxurious metal options. Each choice is matched to campaign goals-clear stock for striking visuals, metal for exclusivity, and RFID-enabled plastics for secure access control applications.

Finish options such as matte or gloss lamination, embossing, and personalized variable data printing are available to ensure every piece is both visually compelling and operationally ready. These features contribute to superior tactile engagement when recipients handle the mailer.

Security and Access Control Features

Security is integral to many PCID offerings: secure printing, chip encoding, and RFID integrations provide identity verification and access control for hotels, casinos, and corporate environments. These solutions are engineered to meet organizational policies while maintaining user-friendly operation.
