Gift cards and loyalty cards are proven revenue drivers, and our custom offerings are designed to maximize that potential. With options for personalization, barcode or magstripe encoding, and optional packaging, brands can deliver a premium presentation that encourages spend and repeat visits.

When you choose our plastic gift cards, you're investing in a durable marketing asset that enhances perceived value and drives repeat business. Many retailers see significant increases in gift redemption and customer retention when they upgrade from paper to professionally printed PVC cards.

Specialty Finishes & Options

Customization extends beyond printing: choose matte or gloss laminate, spot UV, holographic overlays, custom shapes, and even luxury metal cores for select projects. These options help brands create cards that command attention and convey a premium image at the point of purchase or check-in.

• Clear plastic cards for modern, minimalist branding
• Custom-cut shapes for memorable customer experiences
• Metal and premium cards that create luxury impressions

Combining specialty finishes with reliable PVC printing creates products that stand out in wallets and at counters, reinforcing brand identity and encouraging long-term engagement.

Quality, Durability, and Warranties

Card longevity matters in both marketing and security roles, and our PVC card printing processes are engineered to meet those demands. We use robust materials and protective coatings to deliver cards that resist daily wear and maintain visual clarity for months or years of regular use.

To give clients peace of mind, we offer clear warranty terms and post-sale support for production defects and encoding integrity. Our approach combines careful material selection with consistent testing to ensure you receive reliable products that meet agreed-upon specifications.

Material Standards

We adhere to strict material specifications for thickness, lamination, and print adhesion to guarantee consistent performance across batches. Using tested PVC blends and validated adhesives allows us to deliver cards that tolerate repeated swiping, scanning, and handling while preserving color and clarity.

Material choices are tailored to the application: high-durability PVC for access cards, rigid PVC for gift cards, and metal or composite layers for premium products. Our selection process focuses on functionality combined with a premium finish for every card type.

Production Warranties & Support

Every production run comes with support documentation and warranty terms that address printing fidelity and material integrity. If issues arise related to production defects, our team will assess and resolve them promptly to minimize business disruption and uphold program continuity.

For project questions or warranty initiation, contact our support line at 800.835.7919 and a dedicated representative will assist with troubleshooting, replacement logistics, or documentation to meet your operational requirements.

Quality Assurance Processes

Quality assurance starts with pre-press proofing and continues through inline inspections, random sampling, and encoding validation. These checks reduce errors and ensure each card meets aesthetic and functional specifications set during project kickoff.

We also maintain production records and batch testing results to support traceability and continuous improvement. This disciplined QA regime allows clients to rely on consistent output, whether ordering thousands or millions of PVC cards over time.

Turnkey Fulfillment & Mailing Solutions

Beyond printing, we provide full-service fulfillment options including card affixing, boarding kit assembly, custom carriers, and direct mailing. These services turn a printed pile of cards into a ready-to-ship campaign component, saving client teams time and coordination overhead.

By consolidating printing, packaging and mailing under one provider, brands reduce handling risk and simplify vendor management. This integrated model improves consistency in presentation and often speeds time-to-market for promotional campaigns and membership rollouts.

Card Affixing & Packaging

Our affixing services professionally mount cards to carriers, sleeve them, or place them into customized packaging that supports campaign aesthetics. We can apply scratch-off panels, attach hang tabs, or insert cards into presentation wallets for immediate retail or customer use.

Packaging choices are designed to support brand messaging and user experience. When presentation matters, these finishing services transform printed cards into polished assets that make a measurable difference in activation rates and perceived value.

Mailing & Kitting Services

For direct-to-customer initiatives, our mailing and kitting services handle address verification, fulfillment, and postage optimization. From small batch personalized mailers to large-scale distribution, the process is engineered to preserve accuracy and protect product presentation during transit.

To arrange fulfillment scheduling or to coordinate a pilot shipment, reach our logistics team at 800.835.7919 for an overview of timelines, postage options, and reporting you can use to measure campaign effectiveness.

Security, RFID & Access Control

Our expertise includes MIFARE DESFire, contactless smart cards, and custom encoding suited to corporate, hospitality, and gaming environments.

Implementations are coordinated with integrators and IT teams to guarantee compatibility and performance. Cards are tested against reader hardware, encoding standards and enrollment processes to reduce installation friction and support a smooth launch.

RFID and Smart Card Capabilities

We offer RFID inlays, chip embedding and secure personalization services compatible with major access control systems. Smart card options support secure authentication, cashless transactions, and multi-application deployments, enabling flexible solutions for complex program requirements.

Whether your project needs contactless RFID for hotel keys or multi-application smart cards for campus ID, our team will advise on chip selection, memory sizing and encryption options to match performance and security expectations.

Casino, Hospitality & High-Security Solutions

Gaming and hospitality applications demand both visual quality and technical reliability. Our casino player cards and hotel key cards combine branded finishes with robust encoding, offering a seamless guest experience and reliable integration with existing property systems.

For project coordination or rapid replacements, contact our service desk at 800.835.7919 so we can align delivery windows and encoding requirements with your operational schedule and security standards.

Case Studies and Performance

Real-world case studies demonstrate measurable results: gift card programs that produced a 35-50% boost in sales, postcard mailer campaigns that achieved double the response rates of standard mail, and loyalty initiatives that drove repeat visits and higher lifetime value for customers.

• Retail rollout: gift cards increased average ticket size and promoted new product lines.
