Our portfolio spans classic high-durability PVC cards to advanced contactless smart cards, each crafted to meet industry-specific needs. PCID leverages tested processes to ensure consistent production across formats, from economy loyalty cards to luxury stainless steel or gold-finish specialty pieces.

We do not produce financial credit cards, focusing instead on commercial and organizational cards that enhance marketing, membership, and security. This specialization allows us to concentrate on premium print techniques and materials that support real-world performance for clients.

Gift cards remain a top-performing promotional tool, routinely boosting retail sales by tangible percentages when executed well. PCID's gift card products are available in a range of finishes and packaging options that create a polished, purchase-ready presentation at checkout.

From embedded magnetic stripes to UV finishing and custom carriers, our gift solutions drive conversion and encourage re-spend, delivering measurable return on investment for merchants of all sizes.

Membership and identification cards require a balance of brand presentation and durability. Our production methods ensure clarity of text and imagery while supporting features like variable data printing and secure encoding to protect member identities.

Organizations find that professionally produced membership cards foster a sense of belonging and increase engagement over time, making them a strategic investment rather than a simple operational cost.

Specialty options such as clear plastic cards, intricate die-cut shapes, and luxury metal cards are ideal for campaigns that must stand out. These premium formats amplify perceived value and create collectability, which encourages long-term retention and word-of-mouth buzz.

Our specialty line is also popular among affiliate partners because unique card types generate higher click-through and conversion rates when promoted through curated campaigns, supporting sustainable affiliate income.

Security and technology are central to many of our product lines, particularly RFID-enabled and access control cards. We integrate MIFARE and DESFire technologies for contactless security, ensuring cards meet modern standards for reliable authentication and data protection.

Beyond chip technologies, PCID offers secure encoding, magnetic stripe options, and tamper-evident designs that strengthen operational security. These features make our cards ideal for environments that require trusted identification and controlled access.

Contactless cards with MIFARE DESFire chips provide fast, reliable transactions and access events while maintaining strong cryptographic protections. These solutions are widely deployed in hotels, casinos, and campuses where speed and security are mission-critical.

We help clients choose appropriate chip configurations, test compatibility with third-party readers, and provide encoding services that minimize integration friction for large-scale deployments.

Our secure badge workflows combine durable card substrates with advanced printing and encoding practices to protect sensitive information. Options include holographic overlays, custom lamination, and secure barcodes to deter counterfeiting and unauthorized duplication.

These measures yield operational peace of mind for administrators while ensuring that daily users experience a reliable, professional credential that supports organizational protocols.

PCID stands behind the long-term performance of our products through selective warranties and rigorous quality control testing. We conduct stress and wear tests to validate card longevity under real-world conditions, supporting industry-grade reliability for clients.

Our warranty programs are transparent and tailored to product categories, giving procurement teams confidence that their investments are backed by a partner focused on consistent outcomes and responsive service.

Plastic cards are a powerful component of omnichannel marketing strategies, bridging in-store experiences and ongoing customer engagement. Our loyalty and gift card programs are structured to convert first-time buyers into repeat customers through tangible incentives and memorable presentation.

PCID's packaged offerings include printed carriers, sleeves, and mailing services, enabling campaigns that are both beautiful and logistically efficient. These comprehensive capabilities fuel higher redemption and customer lifetime value for brands focused on growth.

We design loyalty cards that are durable, easy to use, and compatible with common POS systems, ensuring frictionless customer experiences. The right card design encourages repeated interactions and brand recall, which can significantly improve spend per visit and retention metrics.

Program managers benefit from our consultative setup, which includes advice on card materials, variable data printing for personalization, and timeline planning for promotional rollouts.

When combined with striking card designs, direct mail campaigns can outperform standard mailers. Our custom postcard mailers and affixed cards have demonstrated double the response rates of traditional mail, creating compelling ROI for targeted outreach.

Clients often couple these mailers with digital follow-ups to create multi-touch campaigns that deliver measurable engagement and conversion improvements across channels.

Robust production systems support batch customization, variable data, and secure encoding at scale. These capabilities empower both small brands and large enterprises to execute complex campaigns with consistent quality and predictable timelines.

Our fulfillment services include card affixing, sleeve insertion, custom carriers, and mailing, providing a turnkey solution for brands launching national or regional campaigns. Managing these tasks centrally reduces errors and expedites time-to-market for promotions.

We also provide detailed reporting and tracking so clients can measure campaign performance and optimize subsequent mailings based on real-world response data and logistical insights.

Across retail and hospitality, our clients report meaningful gains after switching to professional plastic cards: gift card programs that boost average transaction values and loyalty initiatives that increase repeat visits. These successes reflect the compound benefits of durable presentation and consistent branding.
