History & Mission
From humble beginnings to an industry-leading specialist, Plastic Card ID focuses on elevating brand presence through physical tokens that matter. The mission is clear: produce precision-crafted cards that communicate trust, quality, and permanence while enabling clients to capitalize on direct marketing, loyalty programs, and identity solutions.
By emphasizing long-term relationships over one-off transactions, the company becomes an extension of a client's marketing and operational team. This collaborative approach results in card programs that are consistent, cost-effective, and aligned with each organization's business goals.
Trusted Partnerships
Plastic Card ID positions itself as a strategic partner, not just a vendor, working closely with marketing teams, operations, and affiliate partners to deliver integrated programs. The breadth of experience across retail, hospitality, education, and unions ensures projects are executed with industry-specific nuance and proven best practices.
Every engagement starts with listening: understanding objectives, constraints, and audience behavior so that the finished cards do more than look good-they perform. That hands-on collaboration is central to the client-first culture and reliable outcomes.
Measurable Impact
Clients who switch from paper alternatives to professionally printed plastic often see immediate upticks in revenue and retention. Gift cards frequently yield a 35-50% sales boost, and thoughtfully designed loyalty programs can significantly increase repeat visits and customer lifetime value.

These specialty offerings are complemented by professional consulting to align finish choices with program goals, ensuring every visual element supports membership value propositions and aspirational branding.
Integration, Security & Service Areas
Seamless integration with existing POS, membership databases, and access control systems is a priority for every implementation. Plastic Card ID provides encoding, testing, and documentation to ensure new cards work reliably within established workflows and technical constraints.
Service areas span consultation, production, and fulfillment-so clients receive a single point of accountability that reduces complexity and accelerates program rollouts while delivering consistent quality at scale.
RFID & Contactless Solutions
Contactless technology unlocks convenience and modern utility for members and staff alike. With experience in MIFARE and DESFire platforms, Plastic Card ID designs cards that enable touch-free entry, loyalty check-ins, and quick balance lookups while maintaining robust security standards.
Typical implementations support high throughput environments and are tested for interoperability across reader ecosystems to ensure a reliable access experience under heavy daily use.
Access Control & Compliance
Access solutions must meet organizational policies and often regulatory requirements. The company consults on best practices for credential issuance, photo ID workflows, and lifecycle management to help clients reduce risk while simplifying administration.
For sensitive environments, encryption, personalized credentials, and limited-issue processes ensure that cards serve as both a functional asset and a deterrent to unauthorized access. For more information and technical support, call 800.835.7919.
