Our product catalog addresses a wide spectrum of business needs, offering everything from standard gift cards to premium metal and clear plastic designs. By delivering both creative finishes and practical technologies, we help companies present their brand with consistency and durability across every customer touchpoint.

Each solution is customizable with options like full-color printing, specialty shapes, magnetic stripes, and contactless RFID chips. Clients often find that replacing paper or disposable alternatives with professionally crafted plastic cards results in stronger brand recall and appreciable sales lifts.

Gift and loyalty cards are cornerstone offerings designed to increase repeat business and average transaction value. With robust printing, spot varnish, and precise die-cut options, these cards are built to last in wallets and purses, providing a persistent sales driver for promotional programs and year-round campaigns.

When paired with targeted distribution and tracking, gift and loyalty cards become measurable marketing assets that are proven to boost sales and foster long-term customer engagement. Our team supports campaign setup, creative guidance, and reliable production timelines.

Choose from PVC, clear plastic, and specialty metal card substrates, each finished with a range of coatings and printing effects. These choices allow brands to match card aesthetics with strategic objectives, ensuring a card that feels premium while remaining functionally consistent across retail or hospitality environments.

From matte finishes and embossed details to premium metal embossing and laser engraving, our manufacturing options enable clients to craft cards that are both durable and distinctive, elevating the recipient's perception of value and prompting action.

We offer comprehensive fulfillment services, including card affixing, custom carriers, sleeves, and direct-mail programs that simplify campaign logistics for busy teams. This full-service approach ensures that cards arrive ready for distribution, saving clients time while maintaining professional presentation standards.

Our fulfillment workflows are optimized for accuracy and speed, supporting both small runs and large-scale programs. Those seeking a streamlined launch appreciate our ability to combine production with targeted mailing for measurable campaign performance.

Security and advanced technology are embedded into many of our card offerings, from contactless RFID to encrypted smart card solutions like MIFARE DESFire. These options are ideal for membership systems, campus access, and casino player programs that require reliable authentication and durable performance.

Security features include tamper-resistant printing, holographic overlays, and secure encoding that integrates smoothly with client access control infrastructures. By offering industry-grade technology, we help organizations protect assets and streamline operations with an emphasis on long-term reliability.

Contactless cards equipped with RFID or MIFARE technology deliver fast, secure access and smooth customer experiences. Whether used for hotel keys, transit passes, or campus IDs, these systems reduce friction at entry points while providing administrators with robust data for access management.

Integration with existing readers and software platforms is part of our service offering, enabling clients to deploy cards with confidence. We emphasize compatibility and thorough testing to ensure a secure and compliant implementation that fits operational needs.

Anti-fraud measures such as holo-foil, microtext, UV inks, and serialized numbering enhance the security profile of identification and membership cards. These features help prevent unauthorized reproduction and strengthen trust in credential authenticity for organizations that require elevated protection.

For clients seeking high assurance, we pair physical security elements with encoded digital identifiers, creating a multi-layered approach that deters misuse and enhances accountability in everyday operations.

Our team supports integration with popular access control platforms, ensuring cards operate seamlessly in a variety of environments. Guidance on reader compatibility, encoding formats, and lifecycle management ensures that cards perform reliably from issuance through decommissioning.

We also provide consultation on best practices for card provisioning and replacement policies, allowing administrators to maintain both convenience and security with minimal disruption to users and facilities.

Plastic cards are powerful marketing tools that create lasting impressions and measurable revenue gains. Retailers switching from paper certificates to professionally produced plastic gift cards commonly report noticeable sales increases, while loyalty programs see stronger repeat purchase behavior and higher average order values.

Our case studies demonstrate a consistent pattern: thoughtfully designed cards combined with effective distribution and tracking deliver both immediate revenue and longer-term brand engagement. This blend of creativity and measurable performance is central to how we advise clients on program architecture.

One national retailer deployed a custom gift card program and observed a dramatic uptick in redemption rates and incremental spend. The durable, attractive cards increased perceived value, led to more frequent purchases, and amplified word-of-mouth-validating the strategic role of physical cards in omnichannel retail.

These successes are not isolated; repeatable metrics across industries show that a premium card presentation and smart distribution can translate directly into sustained revenue growth and customer retention gains.

With a network of over 60 affiliate websites already benefiting from card demand, partnering with Plastic Card ID creates opportunities for marketers and resellers. Our turnkey product catalog and fulfillment options make it straightforward for affiliates to monetize promotions and deliver consistent product quality to buyers.

Affiliates are supported with promotional assets, technical specifications, and fulfillment reliability, which together create a strong foundation for repeat commissions and long-term partnerships.

We focus on measurable outcomes: increased sales, higher retention, and improved campaign response rates. The combination of compelling card design and reliable distribution yields quantifiable returns, making plastic cards a pragmatic investment for marketers seeking durable, trackable results.

Clients often cite enhanced customer loyalty and predictable ROI as reasons to adopt our offerings, underscoring the practical benefits of integrating physical cards into broader marketing strategies.

From initial concept to finished product in consumers' hands, our services cover the entire lifecycle of a plastic card program. We offer design assistance, prototyping, quality inspections, and distribution services that free clients to focus on campaigns rather than logistics.

Our studio provides robust project management for both short-term campaigns and ongoing programs, delivering consistent quality, accurate timelines, and scalable production that meets the demands of businesses across industries.

Complete presentation matters, so we offer custom carriers, sleeves, and personalized mailers that elevate the unboxing experience. Thoughtful packaging increases perceived value and improves redemption rates, turning each card delivery into a brand-building moment.

  • Custom carriers with variable data printing for personalization
  • Secure sleeves for tamper-evident presentation
  • Direct-mail programs that combine printing, affixing, and postage

Combining card and carrier services streamlines logistics and ensures campaigns arrive professionally packaged and ready to deliver impact on day one.

We manage card encoding, affixing, variable data printing, and mailing so clients experience a single, reliable source for production and delivery. This reduced complexity lets marketing and operations teams focus on results instead of coordinating multiple vendors.

Our fulfillment team adheres to tight quality controls and shipping procedures to guarantee accuracy and timeliness for both small runs and enterprise-level orders, delivering a dependable service every time.

Quality control is central to our operations: each run is inspected for print fidelity, functional encoding, and material integrity. Where applicable, we stand behind our workmanship with warranties that reflect our commitment to consistent, reliable products that meet client expectations.

Clients appreciate that warranties and post-production support are part of the value we bring, ensuring peace of mind and mitigating risk when deploying cards across customer-facing or operational programs.
