Services & Capabilities
Our production capabilities are engineered to meet complex business demands for plastic card printing: high-volume runs, variable data personalization, and specialty materials for distinctive campaigns. We deliver consistent color fidelity and robust performance so your cards remain visually striking and operationally reliable across many customer touchpoints.
Beyond printing, Plastic Card ID provides full-service fulfillment, including card affixing, custom sleeves, and direct mail services that remove logistical friction for marketing teams. This end-to-end approach simplifies large campaigns and empowers affiliates and resellers to scale with confidence and predictable margins.
Core Printing Technologies
We use industry-leading offset and digital presses paired with advanced laminating to produce cards that stand up to daily handling. Our process supports magnetic stripes, barcodes, and contactless RFID encoding such as MIFARE DESFire, ensuring that your cards are both attractive and functionally secure for access control or transactional use.
Each job undergoes rigorous quality checks, from color calibration to edge trimming, designed to prevent common issues that undermine customer perception. Our focus on process reliability means quicker turnarounds and fewer reprints for clients seeking both speed and perfection.
Value-Added Fulfillment & Mailing
Fulfillment is a strategic differentiator: we can affix cards to carriers, package multi-card kits, and manage direct mail distribution to targeted audiences. These services create a single supplier model that reduces vendor overhead and accelerates campaign delivery across multiple channels, improving campaign ROI and operational simplicity.
By consolidating print and logistics into one workflow, Plastic Card ID helps marketing teams avoid misalignment and shipping errors while enabling consistent presentation of brand elements. The result is a seamless experience from concept to mailbox, increasing redemption and conversion rates for promotional initiatives.

We also support rapid reissue services for lost or compromised credentials, minimizing downtime without sacrificing verification standards. Our warranty and service policies reflect a commitment to long-term reliability and client confidence.
