Plastic card carriers are more than packaging; they present a brand moment that extends the perceived value of a card and enhances unboxing experiences. Plastic Card ID offers a wide range of carriers and sleeves engineered to protect cards while maximizing shelf presence and perceived gift value, contributing to higher redemption rates and stronger brand impressions.

Carriers can be customized for retail display, mailing, or in-store presentation and paired with full affixing and mailing services for turnkey distribution. When combined with PCID's expertise, carriers become a strategic tool that simplifies fulfillment and elevates customer perception on first touch.

Clients can select from standard sleeves, branded carriers, eco-neutral packaging alternatives (noting our products are plastic and should be disposed of properly), and premium options such as tuck-boxes or luxury envelopes. These options are tailored to campaign needs and retail realities, creating high-impact design that speaks to recipients immediately.

Decisions about carriers are informed by target audience, distribution channel, and the desired unwrapping experience. In many campaigns, simple changes to carrier design yield measurable improvements in gift card sales and customer satisfaction, translating creative ideas into tangible business outcomes.

Materials range from standard PVC to specialty clear plastic and metal finishes, each chosen for durability and aesthetic effect. Plastic Card ID provides art guidance, template creation, and proofing to ensure every printed carrier and card meets expectations for color fidelity and structural integrity.

Full-service affixing and mailing eliminate the need for third-party handling, which reduces errors and shortens lead times. Plastic Card ID manages card affixing, insertion into carriers, and postal preparation, ensuring campaigns arrive ready to sell or be gifted immediately upon receipt.

These services support large promotional runs and smaller, targeted mailings alike, giving marketers a predictable and scalable solution. The convenience of integrated fulfillment is a cornerstone of the company's promise to streamline execution for busy teams.

Security and access control remain core competencies: Plastic Card ID produces secure ID badges, RFID smart cards, MIFARE DESFire contactless solutions, and hotel key cards used by organizations that require reliable, professional access control.

Beyond hardware, the company partners with integrators and consultants to ensure that card specifications meet existing systems and future upgrade paths, helping clients maintain consistent security postures while adopting new technologies as needed.

Contactless cards offer convenience and durability, enabling fast authentication in hospitality, transit, and corporate environments.
