Our High-Durability Plastic Cards are engineered to withstand heavy handling while preserving rich color and crisp printing. Designed for promotional, membership, and operational use, these cards maintain integrity through repeated scans and wallet wear, offering clients a lasting, premium presence that supports stronger brand recall and customer loyalty.

Whether your need is high-volume gift cards or specialized RFID-enabled access badges, Plastic Card ID delivers exceptional print quality and construction. With customizable thickness, finishes, and security features, each product line is optimized to match the intended lifetime of the card and the expectations of your customers or members.

We select materials that ensure consistent performance: PVC blends for everyday durability and composite substrates for high-security applications. Finishing options include glossy, matte, and scratch-resistant overlays that preserve artwork and branding. This attention to material integrity ensures cards remain attractive and functional over prolonged use.

Our production process emphasizes both visual appeal and resilience, using protective laminates and sealed edges for unmatched durability. These choices reduce replacements, lower long-term costs, and uphold the card's professional look even after extensive circulation in retail and membership environments.

From clear plastic and custom shapes to plated metal finishes, our specialty offerings are crafted to make brands stand out. Luxury metal cards and bespoke shapes are engineered for tactile distinction and perceived value, giving recipients a memorable physical token that enhances the overall brand experience.

For clients who want to test new ideas, PCID collaborates on prototypes and small runs to refine specs before scaling production. This iterative approach helps balance innovation with cost-effectiveness while maintaining rigorous quality standards across every order.

Security and access control are core competencies at Plastic Card ID, with expertise in casino player cards, hotel key cards, and contactless RFID like MIFARE DESFire. These solutions combine durable physical construction with embedded electronics when needed, producing both a secure access solution and a robust physical product that lasts in daily use.

We implement multi-layer protections to balance convenience with compliance, tailoring card encoding, magnetic stripes, and RFID chips to your environment. This technical depth helps organizations maintain operational security while availing themselves of durable, brand-forward identification media.

Encoding options include secure magnetic stripes, barcodes, and encrypted RFID programming for sensitive access systems.

In environments where identity verification must be both swift and reliable, our cards provide stable performance under repeated use, preserving encoded data integrity while offering a professional, branded surface that communicates legitimacy.

Physical protections such as tamper-evident overlays, holographic foils, and custom laminates deter counterfeiting while maintaining card aesthetics. These features can be combined with serialized numbers and visual identifiers to provide layered authentication and a visible signal of legitimacy to users and staff.

For organizations requiring compliance or audit trails, we support serialized production and batch tracking, ensuring each run is accompanied by thorough documentation and industry-leading warranties where applicable to reassure stakeholders of long-term reliability.

Beyond card production, Plastic Card ID offers consultative services for card issuance programs, including kitting, encoding at scale, and managed mailing. These value-added services relieve operational burden and improve deployment speed, letting organizations focus on core functions while cards are produced and delivered efficiently.

Our approach is hands-on and pragmatic: we help you select the right credential, design durable artwork, and set up processes so issuance and replacement are predictable and cost-effective. For a consultation, reach our team at 800.835.7919 to schedule a technical review.
