Whether you require basic PVC gift cards or RFID-enabled access cards, PCID combines craftsmanship and scalable production to support both small runs and large-volume campaigns with consistent quality.

Clients benefit from flexible customization options including full-color printing, variable data, custom shapes, and specialty materials like stainless steel. The company's focus on practical, brand-forward design empowers marketers and operators alike, delivering memorable first impressions and durable physical assets that perform in the real world.

PCID also supports marketing execution with value-added services such as card carriers, sleeves, and full mailing solutions.

Gift & Loyalty Cards

Gift and loyalty cards remain PCID's most requested items, proven to increase in-store spend and retention. With advanced printing techniques and optional secure numbering, these cards are meant to convert interest into revenue while reinforcing brand identity across multiple customer touchpoints.

For merchants, PCID offers scalable quantities and rapid turnaround times, enabling seasonal promotions and last-minute campaigns without sacrificing finish or consistency. Many clients report substantial sales lifts when upgrading from paper coupons to professional plastic cards.

RFID and Smart Card Solutions

PCID manufactures contactless and smart-card solutions such as MIFARE and DESFire for secure access and hospitality applications. These products are engineered for reliability and integration with existing access control systems, supporting both physical security and convenience for end users.

When required, PCID provides testing and compatibility assurance so cards work seamlessly with card readers and property management systems. The result is peace of mind for operators and a frictionless experience for cardholders, whether in hotels, casinos, or corporate environments.

Specialty & Luxury Cards

From clear plastic designs to stainless steel and gold-plated luxury cards, PCID offers specialty options that elevate a brand's perceived value. These premium offerings are ideal for VIP programs, elite loyalty tiers, and high-impact direct mail pieces that demand attention and longevity.

Each specialty card undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure finishes, edges, and printing align with expectations. By partnering on prototype development, clients can refine design and tactile experience while maintaining production timelines and cost targets.

Ordering, Variable Data & Quality Assurance

PCID supports variable data printing for personalized outreach, enabling unique barcodes, magnetic stripes, and individually numbered cards in high-volume orders. This functionality is critical for loyalty rollouts, gift card activation, and membership programs where tracking and personalization matter.

Quality assurance protocols include color matching, printing verification, and secure packaging to protect finished goods during transport. For urgent or sensitive orders, clients can request enhanced QA workflows to guarantee consistency and compliance with brand standards.

Security & Technology

Security is a core capability at PCID, with a product lineup tailored to identity, access control, and regulatory compliance needs. The company produces secure ID badges, union credentials, and casino player cards with options for magnetic stripes, holograms, and contactless chips to meet diverse security requirements.

Beyond hardware, PCID emphasizes integration: cards are delivered ready for encoding and can be supplied with pre-encoded data to match client databases. This end-to-end approach reduces friction at deployment and ensures that physical credentials serve as reliable extensions of digital identity systems.

For organizations requiring elevated assurance, PCID offers tamper-evident features and advanced printing techniques that deter counterfeiting while maintaining clean aesthetics and brand alignment. These protective layers protect reputation as well as operational integrity.

Access Control & Smart Cards

Smart-card solutions include contactless options like MIFARE DESFire, which are popular in hospitality and corporate environments. PCID configures and tests cards to ensure compatibility with readers and systems so installations proceed smoothly and securely with minimal troubleshooting.

Clients can request PCID to manage the encoding process, delivering fully programmed cards that communicate correctly with existing infrastructure. This service reduces IT burden and accelerates project timelines while ensuring reliable performance in everyday use.

Secure IDs and Membership Solutions

PCID produces secure ID badges and membership cards with features like visual security elements, tamper-resistant materials, and variable data encoding. These cards create trust and exclusivity while serving operational needs like access permissions and identity verification in complex organizations.

Whether for universities, unions, or enterprise fleets, PCID supports multi-tier issuance programs and lifecycle management needs so organizations can scale card issuance without losing control over security or branding standards.

Fraud Mitigation & Authentication

Anti-counterfeiting measures available from PCID include holographic overlays, UV printing, and serialized numbering that make fabrication more difficult and authentication simpler. These techniques reinforce the integrity of membership programs, vouchers, and access credentials across industries.

PCID can advise on layered approaches to card security that balance cost with protection, helping clients choose the right combination of visible and covert features. The goal is to create practical, business-minded security rather than unnecessary complexity.

Technical Support & Encoding Services

PCID's technical services include magnetic stripe encoding, chip encoding, and data testing to ensure each card performs as intended. The team offers guidance on file specifications and encoding standards so cards integrate seamlessly with client systems and third-party readers.

Support extends through post-production verification and troubleshooting, giving clients access to experts who understand both card manufacturing and the downstream technology ecosystem. This results in reduced downtime and smoother deployments.

Marketing Impact & Case Studies

Plastic cards translate into measurable marketing ROI, and PCID's case studies highlight consistent uplifts in engagement and sales when brands move from paper to professionally produced plastic cards. Retailers often report significant revenue improvements tied directly to premium card-based promotions.

PCID's portfolio includes success stories across retail, hospitality, and membership organizations, demonstrating that a thoughtfully designed card program can produce sustained customer retention and better conversion metrics compared with one-off digital promotions.

Affiliate marketers and partners also find opportunity in PCID's product mix, benefiting from consistent demand and a comprehensive service offering that supports marketing campaigns, fulfillment, and custom co-branding efforts.

Retail Gift Card Case Study

A national retailer partnered with PCID to replace paper gift certificates with branded plastic gift cards, resulting in notable increases in average transaction size and repeat purchases. The project combined attractive art, secure numbering, and an integrated carrier-mailing program for maximum impact in-store and online.

The campaign demonstrated that tangible brand experiences drive higher redemption and encourage additional spend, validating the investment in professional card production and full-service distribution handled by PCID.

Loyalty Program Transformation

In a loyalty overhaul, PCID delivered personalized plastic loyalty cards with magnetic encoding and variable member benefits printed directly on each card. This migration improved enrollment rates and simplified point-of-sale recognition, creating a more consistent customer experience across channels.

By enabling personalization at scale, PCID helped the client achieve more accurate member tracking and more effective targeted promotions, resulting in higher engagement and measurable uplift in lifetime value.

Measuring Success and ROI

PCID encourages clients to track metrics like redemption rates, average order value, and repeat purchase frequency to quantify the impact of card programs. Structured measurement supports iterative improvements to designs, distribution channels, and promotional offers for ongoing optimization.

By aligning creative, production, and fulfillment, PCID helps clients convert card investments into sustained financial outcomes, turning physical artifacts into long-term revenue drivers rather than single-use marketing tools.

Fulfillment, Services & Support

PCID's logistical strengths include on-site finishing, card affixing, sleeving, and comprehensive mailing services that reduce client complexity. These value-added capabilities ensure campaigns ship accurately and on schedule-important when coordinated rollouts or promotional deadlines are at stake.

Packaging, Kitting & Mailing

PCID provides end-to-end kitting services including card carriers, envelopes, and printed inserts so campaigns are ready for distribution immediately upon production completion. The ability to combine printing and fulfillment streamlines vendor coordination and reduces shipment errors.

Clients benefit from configurable packaging options and automated fulfillment processes designed to scale with campaign needs. Whether shipping to a centralized distribution hub or directly to cardholders, PCID supports efficient and reliable delivery.

Inventory Management & Reorders

For high-volume programs, PCID offers inventory management that tracks stock levels and triggers reorder thresholds to avoid program interruptions. This proactive service removes the operational burden from clients and keeps campaigns running smoothly with minimal oversight.

When coupled with variable-data printing and pre-encoding, managed inventory ensures the right cards are available at the right time, reducing lead times and preventing emergency orders that drive up costs.

Value-Added Print & Finishing

Beyond printing, PCID offers finishing processes like lamination, foil stamping, and edgework that enhance both durability and perceived value. These finishes can be selectively applied to elevate premium product tiers without adding unnecessary cost to standard items.

Such capabilities let brands create tiered membership experiences where visual and tactile cues reinforce status, loyalty, and exclusivity-factors that directly influence customer behavior and program success.

Customer Service & Warranty

PCID stands behind its workmanship with clear warranty terms and responsive service channels. When issues arise, clients can expect timely resolution and, where appropriate, replacement production to maintain campaign integrity and schedule commitments.

This commitment to accountability fosters long-term relationships and positions PCID as more than a vendor: a reliable business ally that partners with organizations to meet strategic goals while protecting brand reputation.
