Our PVC card printing capabilities span traditional and advanced technologies, from high-resolution CMYK printing to specialty foils and tactile varnishes. We ensure consistent color reproduction and edge-to-edge printing that keeps brands looking their best on every card type and substrate.

From RFID encoding to magnetic stripe and barcode options, our production floor is equipped for secure and flexible encoding. We combine print excellence with robust testing protocols to deliver products that perform reliably in retail and operational environments.

Customers can choose from a wide selection of materials and finishing options, including standard PVC, clear plastic, and premium overlays that enhance durability. Specialty prints like soft-touch matte, gloss UV, and metallic foils bring visual depth and a premium tactile experience to each card.

Available finishes include lamination, spot UV, holographic foil, and edge printing, enabling brands to craft cards that look and feel distinctive. These options support both aesthetic goals and long-term durability in demanding retail and hospitality settings.

Security is central to many projects, especially for ID badges, access control cards, and casino programs. We offer secure encoding methods such as MIFARE DESFire and other contactless protocols to protect sensitive functions while simplifying user interactions with a secure access experience.

For immediate assistance or to discuss secure card projects, contact our team at 800.835.7919 to review technical specifications, encoding services, and compliance requirements tailored to your organization's needs and risk profile.

Beyond standard rectangles, we specialize in producing custom-shaped cards, clear plastic variants, and luxury metal cards manufactured from stainless steel or plated finishes. These specialty pieces serve as powerful brand statements that command attention in competitive marketplaces.

Luxury and novelty formats are often used for VIP programs, corporate gifting, and high-value loyalty tiers because they convey exclusivity and create lasting impressions that reinforce customer affinity and perceived value.

Our design and production workflow is optimized to move projects from concept to delivery with clarity and efficiency. Dedicated project managers coordinate proofs, production schedules, and quality checks, ensuring transparency at every stage and reducing time-to-market for critical campaigns.

We prioritize collaborative proofing that balances creative vision with manufacturability. With multiple proof rounds, color-matching protocols, and pre-production checks, the process minimizes surprises and aligns expectations between creative teams and manufacturing operations.

Our in-house designers assist with layout, brand compliance, and print-ready artwork preparation to help customers achieve their visual goals. Whether starting from scratch or refining existing art, we provide constructive guidance that enhances readability and brand impact on small card canvases.

Design consultations emphasize strong typography, appropriate bleed margins, and strategic use of finishes. This ensures cards not only look great in concept but reproduce accurately in mass production with consistent quality across every batch.

Every job undergoes meticulous proofing and a multi-stage quality assurance process. We supply digital proofs and optional hard proofs to validate color, alignment, and finishing before production, reducing costly reprints and ensuring consistent output across larger volumes.

Quality checks include visual inspection, adhesion testing for laminates, and functional verification for encoded cards. These controls support long-term reliability and reinforce our reputation for industry-leading quality and dependability.

Typical production timelines vary by complexity, from expedited small runs to scheduled mass production for national rollouts. Our capabilities support rapid turnaround options when deadlines demand speed, while larger or specialty projects follow an agreed-upon schedule coordinated by your project manager.

Clients appreciate our transparent scheduling and frequent updates, which help integrate card campaigns with broader marketing calendars. We build contingency planning into complex projects to maintain deadlines without compromising on quality.

PVC card printing supports a broad range of applications, including gift cards, loyalty programs, membership IDs, event badges, and transit or access credentials. Each format is engineered to meet the functional and branding requirements of its intended application.

Because physical cards persist in pockets, wallets, and keychains, they create repeated brand exposure and deliver notable ROI. Retailers, hospitality groups, and institutions frequently report measurable uplifts in engagement and revenue after implementing professional card programs.

Gift cards remain one of the most effective retail tools, often increasing customer spend and driving repeat visits. Professionally printed PVC gift cards convey trust and perceived value far more effectively than paper alternatives, often resulting in measurable revenue gains for retailers.

Our gift card options include custom artwork, magnetic encoding, and secure packaging to ensure brand safety and ease of redemption. These features combine to produce a product that encourages future spending and strengthens customer relationships.

Membership and loyalty cards serve both functional and emotional roles: they facilitate benefits while creating a sense of belonging. PVC cards offer durability and a premium feel, reinforcing the value of membership when presented as a physical credential.

We support multi-tier programs with variable printing and encoding to distinguish membership levels. By combining distinctive finishes and secure technology, brands can create custom solutions that reward loyalty and encourage progression.

In hospitality and gaming, secure and reliable card systems are essential. We provide hotel key cards, casino player cards, and access credentials with robust encoding and anti-fraud options to protect assets while enabling convenient guest experiences that increase return visits.

These programs often integrate with property management and loyalty platforms to streamline guest interactions. Our expertise in this space ensures solutions that are both technically robust and aligned with operational realities.

To simplify campaigns, we offer a comprehensive suite of value-added services including card affixing, packaging, custom carriers, and full-service mailing. These options transform printed cards into ready-to-ship marketing assets that require minimal client handling.

By consolidating production and fulfillment, clients reduce vendor complexity and realize cost efficiencies. Our fulfillment teams manage inventory, kitting, and distribution to ensure timely delivery to individual recipients or store locations nationwide.

Our mailing and affixing services let brands deliver fully assembled programs directly to customers. We handle insertion, shrink-wrapping, and postage options, creating turnkey campaigns with consistent presentation and a professional unboxing experience.

Services include list processing, address verification, and tracked shipping where needed. The result is a frictionless customer journey and predictable campaign performance that drives measurable ROI for marketing initiatives.

  • Card affixing to carriers and sleeves for immediate activation and presentation.
  • Custom kitting for promotional bundles and direct mail drops.
  • Full-service mailing with postage optimization and tracking options.

Custom carriers, sleeves, and point-of-sale displays extend the branded presence of cards and enhance perceived value. We design packaging solutions that protect cards while elevating the unboxing moment to reinforce customer delight and conversion.

Options range from simple printed carriers to premium boxes and magnetic closures. These enhancements are particularly effective for gift card promotions, corporate gifting, and limited-edition loyalty rewards that aim to surprise and delight recipients.

Affiliate partners benefit from our proven demand for plastic card products through dedicated programs, competitive margins, and marketing support. Over 60 affiliate sites have successfully monetized those opportunities through co-branded campaigns and volume discounts.
