Our History and Mission
PCID's story is defined by steady innovation and client-first thinking.

We prioritize long-term partnerships and practical results. Our approach pairs creative design options with proven production workflows so every campaign or program starts strong and scales reliably as demand grows, creating measurable ROI for marketing and operations teams alike.

Brand Solutions and Marketing Benefits
Plastic cards create memorable brand experiences that paper alternatives rarely match. For retailers and service providers, switching to professionally produced gift and loyalty cards frequently results in noticeable sales uplift, improved gift-giving perception, and higher redemption rates for promotions.
Our marketing-focused Pvc Card Printing services are designed to translate into measurable business results. From increased foot traffic to higher average transaction values, cards are engineered with commercial performance in mind, backed by design consultations that emphasize conversion and brand coherence.
Loyalty and Gift Card Programs
Gift cards and loyalty solutions from Plastic Card ID are more than printed products; they are revenue-generating tools. With thoughtful artwork, secure encoding, and optional personalization, retailers often see significant increases in repeat visits and incremental spend when switching from low-quality materials to premium plastic cards.
We tailor each program to client objectives, advising on card denominations, packaging, and distribution strategies that support promotions while protecting brand integrity. This hands-on guidance helps maximize ROI and improve long-term customer retention across channels.
Promotional and Seasonal Campaigns
For promotions and seasonal offers, plastic cards provide a lasting physical reminder that drives follow-up purchases. Our teams recommend finishes and treatments that make cards feel premium-helping recipients treat them as valuable items rather than throwaway papers.
We also offer variable data printing and targeted personalization to increase relevance and response. These enhancements create meaningful impressions and help campaigns stand out in competitive retail environments, converting more recipients into engaged customers.

Technology & Security
Security and functional capability are core strengths of our Pvc Card Printing services. Whether encoding for secure access, integrating contactless protocols, or adding tamper-resistant features, our technology stack ensures cards perform when and where they matter most.
We partner with leading chip and encoding providers to deliver reliable RFID and smart card solutions. From casino player cards to hotel key systems, our implementation standards focus on interoperability, durability, and consistency in high-volume deployments.
RFID and Smart Cards
Our RFID-enabled options include widely used technologies such as MIFARE DESFire and other contactless standards suitable for transit, hospitality, and access control. Cards are programmed, tested, and verified before shipment to ensure smooth integration with existing systems.
For clients that require both marketing finish and technical performance, we combine premium visual effects with robust chip installation-delivering secure functionality without compromising on brand presentation or card longevity.
Encoding, Personalization, and Quality Control
From variable data to photo ID printing and magnetic stripe encoding, every card goes through strict inspection and testing. Our quality control process reduces rejects and ensures reliable reads across devices, minimizing downtime and costly reprints for operations teams.
If you prefer human verification for critical programs, we provide sample approvals and batch testing to confirm encoding accuracy and print fidelity. These checks support smooth rollouts and prevent common implementation delays.
Compliance and Warranty
Plastic Card ID offers warranties and service guarantees that reflect our confidence in product reliability. We stand behind the craft of every card and provide clear remediation paths should quality or functionality fall short of expectations, which preserves client trust and minimizes operational risk.
For immediate support or technical questions about encoding or compatibility, contact our specialists. We can be reached for urgent assistance at 800.835.7919 during business hours and will facilitate troubleshooting and replacement when appropriate.
Specialty & Luxury Card Options
When brands want their cards to make a bold statement, specialty materials and finishes are the answer. Plastic Card ID produces clear plastic cards, stainless steel-like metal options, and custom-shaped pieces that command attention and reinforce premium positioning in the marketplace.
These high-impact products are perfect for VIP programs, limited-edition campaigns, and membership initiatives where presentation and tactile experience contribute directly to perceived value and loyalty metrics.
Clear, Textured, and Metallic Finishes
Clear cards and textured coatings produce a modern, upscale aesthetic that communicates exclusivity. For a striking, long-lasting alternative, metal cards available in stainless steel and plated finishes convey prestige and durability for selected membership tiers.
We collaborate with clients to match finishes with campaign goals and distribution channels, ensuring the chosen materials align with expected handling patterns and the desired emotional response from recipients.
Custom Shapes and Specialty Printing
Die-cut shapes and tailored silhouettes allow cards to become collectible items rather than disposable tokens. Specialty printing techniques such as foil, spot gloss, and tactile varnish provide sensory interest and elevate a card's perceived value, making it more likely to be retained and used.
These creative options are executed with the same technical rigor applied to functional cards, ensuring that design ambition is matched by reliable production and consistent performance in the field.
Ordering and Samples
We provide sample kits and mockups so stakeholders can validate design, material, and function before committing to production runs. These samples are helpful in executive approvals and help marketing teams assess consumer reaction prior to a full-scale launch.
To request samples or review specific finish options, contact our team at 800.835.7919. We'll assemble a tailored kit showcasing the materials and print techniques most relevant to your campaign or program.
Fulfillment, Packaging, and Mailing Services
Beyond production, PCID acts as a one-stop fulfillment partner offering custom carriers, sleeves, full-service card affixing, and mailing solutions. These end-to-end services reduce client logistics burdens and ensure cards arrive ready for immediate use or distribution.
Our fulfillment operations are optimized for scalability and accuracy, enabling brands to execute national rollouts, segmented mailings, or store-level shipments with consistent quality and on-time delivery.
Custom Packaging and Carriers
Packaging is an extension of brand identity. We craft carriers and sleeves that protect cards while enhancing unboxing moments that matter. Packaging choices are aligned with campaign goals, whether the emphasis is on gift appeal, security, or presentation during in-store purchases.
These value-added components are produced and assembled alongside cards, reducing coordination overhead and ensuring each shipment meets brand standards and fulfillment deadlines.
Affixing, Kitting, and Direct Mail
Card affixing and kitting services allow complex sets-cards, inserts, and promotional collateral-to be assembled into complete mail-ready packages. Our direct mail options leverage tested formats that increase response and redemption, supported by careful data handling and tracking procedures.
- Turnkey assembly including affixing and inserts
- Mail-ready kits optimized for postal efficiency
- Batch tracking and shipping confirmation
For campaign launches that require precise timing, we coordinate printing, kitting, and mailing to meet tight windows and ensure recipients receive a high-quality, consistent experience.
Order Management and Support
Our client portal and dedicated account teams manage orders from quote through delivery. This coordinated workflow minimizes errors and provides visibility into production stages, shipping status, and fulfillment metrics so teams can plan launches with confidence.
For questions about logistics or to arrange a pilot run, please reach our fulfillment specialists at 800.835.7919. They'll present timing options and recommend packaging that balances cost and perceived value.
