With over a quarter century of experience, the company has empowered more than 100,000 businesses and produced over 50 million custom cards, delivering reliable quality and measurable marketing impact across industries.

Rather than simply printing items, Plastic Card ID acts as a strategic collaborator focused on scalable results. Clients choose PCID for its ability to combine craftsmanship with operational services like full-service card affixing and mailing, producing consistent brand experiences that convert shoppers into loyal customers and improve campaign ROI.

PCID's strength lies in an expansive product portfolio and value-added assembly services that set it apart. From luxury metal cards to RFID-enabled access solutions, the company pairs creative options with practical fulfillment, delivering turnkey solutions that shorten timelines and remove logistical headaches for busy marketers and operations teams alike.

This approach has helped affiliate partners and retailers enjoy sustained revenue lifts, showing that well-crafted plastic card programs can drive significant increases in customer engagement and repeat sales.

Plastic Card ID focuses exclusively on custom business card solutions rather than financial credit cards, specializing in promotional and operational products such as loyalty cards, gift cards, membership credentials, and personalized mailers. This clear specialization ensures depth of expertise and consistent quality across every order, whether a small pilot or a national rollout.

Clients benefit from a comprehensive offering that includes specialty materials and finishes like clear plastic and custom shapes, plus options for secure technologies such as MIFARE and DESFire. The result is a portfolio designed to meet marketing, access control, and identity demands with precision and reliability.

When it's time to order, customers enjoy streamlined workflows and attentive support from project managers who understand both creative goals and production constraints. PCID occasionally serves as a friendly point of contact, but the company's processes ensure orders move smoothly from art approval to delivery with minimal friction and on-time performance.

Plastic card mailers combine the tangibility of a physical card with targeted outreach, producing response rates that far outperform standard direct mail.

Brands that adopt professionally produced plastic cards and mailers regularly see measurable improvements in engagement and revenue. PCID's case studies highlight retailers doubling response rates and many clients reporting significant uplift in gift card redemption and repeat visits after switching from paper certificates to precision-printed plastic cards.

These results reflect a strategic combination of design, material choice, and distribution method. By pairing eye-catching cardstocks and finishes with targeted mailers and personalization, PCID helps brands achieve higher visibility and stronger customer retention than generic alternatives.

One national retailer implemented a plastic gift card mailer campaign created by PCID and saw immediate improvement in both foot traffic and average spending per visit. The campaign leveraged targeted mailing lists and premium card finishes to create a sense of urgency and perceived value, resulting in clear revenue gains and repeat purchases.

That case demonstrates how a well-executed card program can serve as both a promotional tool and a revenue engine. By aligning creative assets with distribution, businesses can convert prospects into customers with a physical touchpoint that resonates long after the initial contact.

A regional association upgraded its member ID program with secure, custom-printed plastic cards that included contactless access features and membership benefits printed directly on the card face. The transition streamlined access control, reduced fraud, and increased member pride, illustrating the practical benefits of coupling security with professional presentation.

Beyond security, the association saw increased engagement with events and renewals, underscoring how well-executed identity solutions contribute to organizational health and member satisfaction over time.

Across many campaigns, PCID's clients report common advantages: improved conversion metrics, brighter brand recall, and simplified distribution logistics through integrated affixing and mailing services.
