Table of Contents [Show]

Plastic Card ID (PCID) has built a reputation as a dependable partner for businesses that want lasting brand impact through high-quality plastic solutions. With more than 50 million cards produced and a client base exceeding 100,000 businesses, PCID combines precision printing with strategic guidance to create memorable, durable marketing tools.

PCID focuses on custom business solutions that drive measurable results-not one-size-fits-all products. From loyalty and gift cards to secure IDs and specialty postcard mailers, the company delivers tailored solutions and value-added services that include full-service affixing, mailing, and specialty carriers to simplify campaigns and maximize ROI.

PCID's track record is rooted in practical outcomes: retailers switching to plastic gift cards often see sales climb, and postcard mailers from PCID consistently deliver double the response rates of traditional paper mail. This is the result of careful material selection, targeted printing techniques, and campaign-focused creative guidance from a team that understands conversion.

Clients keep coming back because PCID treats each project as a partnership, offering ongoing production support and strategic recommendations that translate into long-term customer loyalty and tangible financial gains. That collaborative approach makes PCID a trusted partner for brands of all sizes.

PCID offers an extensive portfolio that includes membership cards, loyalty programs, casino player cards, hotel key cards, and RFID smart cards such as MIFARE DESFire, along with specialty options like clear plastic, custom shapes, and metal finishes. These options allow brands to choose formats that fit campaign objectives and audience expectations for a premium finish.

The company also supports non-financial business needs such as alumni and union credentials, secure ID badges, and operational access cards. Each production run is backed by quality checks and optional security features to ensure reliable performance in the field and elevated brand perception.

PCID serves a broad range of industries across multiple regions, offering scalable production and logistics that accommodate local, regional, and national rollouts. Companies appreciate the one-stop shop model that combines printing, packaging, affixing, and mailing into a single managed workflow, saving time and reducing vendor friction.

Long-term relationships are central to PCID's approach. By offering consultative services and flexible production runs, PCID helps brands evolve campaigns over time and capitalize on learning, ensuring sustained performance and greater lifetime value for every customer touchpoint.

Plastic postcard mailers are inherently more tactile and memorable than paper, delivering higher open and response rates when executed with precision. PCID leverages advanced printing techniques and durable plastics to produce mailers that feel substantial and communicate premium value, helping messages stand out in a crowded mailbox.

Strategic messaging and design choices are paired with production best practices to ensure that postcard mailers not only look exceptional but also perform. PCID's mailing services include targeted list management, affixing, and carrier options, which together produce measurable lifts in engagement and conversions.

Evidence shows that plastic postcard mailers consistently outperform paper alternatives by engaging recipients longer and increasing redemption rates. PCID tailors creative and material choices to campaign goals-whether driving store foot traffic, prompting online purchases, or increasing redemptions of promotional offers-so campaigns generate measurable lifts.

Typical use cases include gift card promotions, VIP invitations, and high-value couponing. Each program is optimized for response by combining visual hierarchy, tactile finishes, and a clear call to action that motivates the recipient to act promptly and favorably.

PCID provides options such as clear plastic, opaque finishes, and specialty metallic treatments that deliver striking visual and tactile contrasts. These choices permit brands to create postcards that feel like keepsakes rather than disposable mail, producing a lasting brand impression and improving redemption outcomes for targeted promotions.

Beyond aesthetics, select finishes increase durability in transit and encourage recipients to retain cards, which prolongs brand exposure. That retention effect is a key reason many clients report sustained uplift in brand recognition after switching to plastic postcards.

PCID's full-service approach covers list preparation, barcode or variable data printing, affixing, and national mailing options to streamline distribution.

Clients value the convenience of working with one supplier for both production and mailing, which reduces production timelines and avoids coordination issues. PCID's project managers oversee each step, ensuring accuracy and timely delivery for time-sensitive campaigns and large rollouts.

Design matters as much as material selection. PCID's team collaborates with clients to create layouts that prioritize scanability and redemption while highlighting brand cues. Combined with advanced production controls and optional encryption on smart cards, clients get both visual sophistication and functional security in one production run.

Quality control includes color matching, lamination options, and precision die-cutting for custom shapes. These production elements preserve brand consistency across campaigns and ensure that every card or mailer meets the technical and visual standards required for high-impact marketing and secure operational use.

PCID uses high-resolution printing and specialty coatings to create durable images and resistance to wear. These choices support consistent reproduction across large quantities and retain vibrancy in real-world conditions. The result is a product that reinforces brand perceptions every time a customer touches a card or mailer.

Finishes like matte, gloss, and soft-touch can influence perceived value and handling experience. Thoughtful selection of these options helps campaigns achieve premium tactile presence that translates directly into stronger engagement and longer retention of promotional pieces.

For organizations needing secure identity or access, PCID provides RFID and smart card solutions like MIFARE DESFire, which combine convenience with robust access controls. These cards integrate seamlessly into access management systems and can be customized with visual security cues and durable encoding for enterprise use.

Security extends to production governance, where strict handling and verification processes protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized duplication. Clients trust PCID for mission-critical card programs because of the company's adherence to quality and security standards.

PCID stands behind its products with clear warranty terms and responsive support designed to reduce downtime and production concerns. When issues arise, the company's service teams prioritize swift resolution so campaigns remain on schedule and brand promises are upheld.

Real-world campaigns illustrate the power of plastic postcard mailers. One retail client saw foot traffic and average order value increase dramatically after switching from paper vouchers to plastic postcards, demonstrating how physical durability and perceived value can directly influence sales behavior and lifetime customer value.

PCID documents case studies that show consistent returns across sectors-retail, hospitality, and membership organizations-proving that the right material, combined with strategic messaging and precise delivery, yields proven results that justify investment in premium plastic formats.

A national retailer replaced paper certificates with plastic gift cards and postcard mailers, achieving a near doubling of redemption rates and a notable rise in average transaction size. This result was driven by tactics that emphasized perceived value and included targeted mailing lists curated by PCID's distribution team to reach high-propensity customers.

These campaigns were supported by full-service logistics-affixing, personalization, and managed mailing-allowing the client to focus on creative strategy while PCID coordinated production and delivery for consistent execution and tracking.

Hotels and casinos leverage PCID's secure card options for guest loyalty and secure access. Player and key cards produced by PCID deliver both reliability and brand continuity, and integrated RFID solutions add convenient contactless experiences.
