About Plastic Card ID
Plastic Card ID brings more than a quarter-century of specialized craftsmanship to the Custom Rewards Cards market, combining precision printing with strategic marketing insight. With over 50 million cards produced and a client base of more than 100,000 businesses, the company transforms branded plastic into measurable business growth with a hands-on partnership approach.
As a full-service provider, Plastic Card ID positions itself as a trusted strategic partner rather than a simple vendor. The team supports brands with tailored solutions from design to delivery, and offers warranties, specialty materials, RFID options, and comprehensive fulfillment services that create reliable, long-lasting customer impressions.
Our Legacy in Plastic Card Solutions
The company's legacy is built on consistent quality, real-world performance, and creative problem solving. Clients routinely report increased retention and higher average transaction values after adopting professionally produced cards, proving that tangible branded pieces can have a profound, measurable impact that digital touchpoints alone often do not achieve.
By focusing on durable materials, meticulous printing, and thoughtful packaging, Plastic Card ID creates cards that become part of a customer's brand experience. This emphasis on permanence and presentation helps organizations of all sizes elevate loyalty programs and promotional campaigns with a polished, reliable product.
Service Philosophy and Client Care
At the heart of every engagement is a commitment to long-term success: consultative planning, proactive timelines, and straightforward pricing. Whether creating membership badges, gift cards, or hotel key cards, Plastic Card ID prioritizes clarity, responsiveness, and scalable solutions that align with each client's operational needs and marketing goals.
Clients appreciate the personalized attention and the company's willingness to treat their projects as strategic investments. That same ethic supports white-glove services such as card affixing, custom sleeves, and direct mail fulfillment designed to reduce client workload and increase campaign effectiveness.
Proven Results and Industry Reach
Results speak loudly: retailers often achieve significant sales lift when shifting from paper certificates to Custom Rewards Cards produced by Plastic Card ID, while loyalty card programs increase customer lifetime value and repeat visit rates. These outcomes demonstrate how premium card programs can translate into real commercial advantage.
Serving industries from hospitality and retail to education and unions, the company's portfolio includes casino player cards, hotel key cards, RFID smart cards, alumni IDs, and specialty metal or clear plastic cards. That breadth ensures proven capability across diverse use cases and compliance needs.

Design & Specialty Options
Our design studio converts brand strategy into a physical expression that customers touch and keep. With robust options for color fidelity, finishing, and form factor, these Custom Rewards Cards are engineered to compliment point-of-sale systems and digital loyalty backends for a coherent omnichannel presence.
Specialty processes such as laminates, metallic inks, and variable data printing create differentiated campaigns that feel premium and perform predictably. When customers handle a well-crafted card, that interaction becomes part of the brand story and encourages repeated patronage.
Customization Techniques and Finishes
Techniques like foil accents, embossed numbering, and spot varnish add tactile interest and perceived value, making cards feel more like keepsakes than transactional tools. These finishes are chosen to enhance durability and to reflect brand values clearly on a compact canvas.
Designers balance visual impact with machine-readability to ensure cards flow smoothly through encoding, embossing, and POS equipment. This attention to functional detail ensures the finished product not only looks luxurious but is ready for immediate operational use.
Custom Shapes, Metal, and Clear Cards
For brands seeking an unforgettable impression, options include custom die-cut shapes, clear plastic, and luxury metal cards. These formats create a powerful brand statement that customers associate with exclusivity and long-term membership value, encouraging retention and referral behaviors.
Production of unique-form cards requires precision engineering; Plastic Card ID coordinates prototyping and proofing to deliver consistent results. The specialty processes are integrated into the production timeline for predictable delivery and flawless execution.
Artwork Preparation and Technical Assistance
Preparing artwork for high-resolution printing demands exact file standards, bleed margins, and color profiles. Our team provides technical checks, prepress adjustments, and final proofs to ensure the artwork translates perfectly onto plastic substrates without surprises or delays.
When you need expert guidance, call our production support line at 800.835.7919 for step-by-step assistance with dielines, variable data, and encoding specifications. This hands-on help streamlines the approval process and safeguards production schedules.
Security & Technology
Security and smart technologies are core strengths for Custom Rewards Cards aimed at identity, access, and sophisticated loyalty systems. Plastic Card ID integrates contactless RFID, magnetic stripe encoding, and personalization options to deliver products that satisfy security policies while enhancing customer convenience and throughput.
From casino player cards to campus IDs, security enhancements like holographic overlays, microtext printing, and encrypted DESFire chips are available. These features meet industry expectations for both reliability and fraud mitigation in demanding operational environments.
RFID, NFC, and DESFire Solutions
Contactless technologies such as MIFARE DESFire and NFC enable fast, secure interactions across hospitality, transit, and event spaces. These smart cards support robust access control, cashless payments, and loyalty integrations that streamline member experiences and reduce friction at the point of service.
Implementation includes encoding, testing, and compatibility checks to ensure cards function with existing readers and backend systems. Our specialist teams validate each batch so clients receive reliable, interoperable smart cards on schedule.
Physical Security Features
Physical security enhancements protect against counterfeiting and unauthorized duplication. Features like custom holograms, UV inks, and serialized numbering add layers of verification that staff can use for everyday authentication or incident response, strengthening trust in card-based programs.
These features are paired with warranties and quality control practices, ensuring security measures are not just decorative but functional and backed by production accountability. Institutions gain both practical and reputational safeguards through these options.
Encoding, Personalization, and Support
Whether you require magnetic stripe encoding, barcode printing, or sophisticated magnetic and chip personalization, Plastic Card ID conducts secure, audited encoding workflows to protect sensitive data. Personalization methods are flexible for variable redemption codes or unique member IDs.
Turn to our team at 800.835.7919 to coordinate secure file transfer, personalization schedules, and batch testing. We minimize risk and support compliance while delivering a polished, ready-to-issue card product that suits your operational needs.
Fulfillment, Mailing & Affiliate Opportunities
Fulfillment is a strategic capability that separates basic printing from true program delivery. Plastic Card ID offers full-service solutions including card affixing, custom carriers, sleeves, and direct mail fulfillment so campaigns arrive to recipients professionally packaged and ready for use.
These turnkey services reduce internal labor costs and accelerate campaign launch timelines, providing partners and affiliates with a reliable fulfillment partner that supports scalable promotions and loyalty program distribution.
Turnkey Mailing and Packaging
Custom mailing solutions ensure cards are presented in branded sleeves or carriers and can be affixed to marketing pieces for immediate display and redemption. This professional packaging increases perceived value and improves activation rates compared with loose or unbranded distribution.
Our logistics team orchestrates batch mailings, drop-ship programs, and address optimization so campaigns meet deadlines and regulatory requirements. The result is a cohesive, efficient distribution flow that improves campaign outcomes and reduces client burden.
Affiliate Programs and Marketing Support

Plastic Card ID supports affiliates with creative assets, product samples, and fulfillment coordination to help partners scale profitable channels with minimal operational friction.
Affiliates benefit from robust lead support and access to proven case studies that demonstrate how physical cards drive higher redemption and stronger campaign ROI. This makes card-based promotions a compelling product for monetized content and promotional websites.
