Our core product lineup covers marketing and operational cards that deliver consistent brand experiences. From promotional gift cards that boost incremental spend to secure ID badges that enforce organizational policies, every product is engineered for durability and visual appeal under practical usage conditions.

We combine printing technologies with optional encoding, foiling, embossing, and specialty cutting to create cards that stand out in wallets and at registers. Our production runs are flexible, accommodating limited runs for pilots and large orders for national rollouts.

Gift and loyalty cards are designed to maximize customer retention and uplift average order values. With professional finishes and durable substrates, these cards communicate value and encourage repeat purchases, converting one-time buyers into loyal customers through tangible incentives and memorable presentation.

Marketing teams frequently report strong ROI from card campaigns, particularly when paired with polished carriers or targeted mailers. Our full-service production includes optional packaging, batch personalization, and direct mail fulfillment for turnkey campaign execution.

Security-conscious clients rely on cards with advanced encoding and access control features such as RFID, magnetic stripe, or contactless MIFARE DESFire technology. These options provide robust physical access management while maintaining a professional look that aligns with institutional branding.

For specification guidance and order coordination, contact 800.835.7919 to confirm encryption standards, personalization parameters, and deployment timelines. Our security team helps balance operational requirements with user convenience and compliance considerations.

For brands seeking a premium touch, specialty offerings include clear plastic cards, custom shapes, and metal cards crafted from stainless steel or gold-plated materials. These high-impact pieces serve as loyalty rewards, VIP passes, or executive gifts that deliver lasting brand impressions.

Production of specialty cards balances aesthetic ambitions with manufacturing tolerances and cost considerations. Our designers and fabricators collaborate to ensure every custom piece meets both creative intent and functional durability standards.

Quality is built into every stage of our production workflow. From initial proofing to final inspections, we apply rigorous checks that ensure color fidelity, precise encoding, and durable finishes. This commitment minimizes defects and reduces the risk of post-production issues that can derail campaigns.

We employ high-resolution printing, UV coating options, and finishing techniques that enhance both longevity and tactile appeal. The result is a professional product that performs consistently in retail and operational environments, maintaining brand standards throughout distribution.

Our print shop uses modern presses capable of CMYK, spot colors, and specialty inks to reproduce complex artwork with precision. This technical capacity allows for seamless integration of logos, photographic imagery, and fine typography that preserves brand fidelity across every card run.

We pair equipment with experienced color technicians who finalize proofs and adjust profiles to match expectations. This human oversight guarantees that the final product looks as compelling as the original design intent and functions reliably in daily use.

Cards can be equipped with multiple security measures, from magnetic stripes to contactless RFID and MIFARE DESFire chips. These features support applications including secure access control, casino player tracking, and protected membership systems that demand dependable authentication.

To discuss encryption and personalization options, call 800.835.7919. Our team will recommend the most appropriate technologies for your security posture and operational needs, ensuring seamless integration with existing access control infrastructure.

Every production run undergoes testing for print adherence, chip functionality, and mechanical durability. We stand behind our work with clear warranty terms for manufacturing defects, offering peace of mind that defective items will be addressed promptly and professionally.

Compliance with industry practices and interoperability standards is a priority, so we document production specifications and encoding parameters to support straightforward deployment and long-term reliability across diverse systems.

Design services at PCID focus on creating cards that are not only attractive but highly functional. Our designers optimize artwork for printing constraints, enhance readability of critical elements like barcodes and contact details, and suggest finishes that amplify brand cues without compromising usability.

Fulfillment services include personalization, packing, and direct mailing. By combining printing with logistical services, we reduce administrative overhead for clients and shorten time-to-market, delivering completed kits ready for distribution or in-store deployment.

Design consultations help refine messaging and select finishes that align with campaign goals. Whether the requirement is a simple logo treatment or a fully custom layout for a seasonal promotion, our designers focus on clarity, impact, and manufacturability to ensure successful production.

We often recommend finishing techniques such as foil stamping or spot UV to create memorable, tactile impressions that increase perceived value and motivate customer engagement at the point of sale.

Turnkey services include card affixing, carrier assembly, and postal mailing solutions that get campaigns into customers' hands with minimal client effort. This end-to-end model simplifies logistics and often accelerates campaign performance while reducing coordination burdens.

For immediate logistics consultation, please reach 800.835.7919. Our fulfillment specialists will outline timing, packaging options, and batching strategies to ensure efficient delivery while preserving product integrity.

Beyond cards, we supply complementary items such as custom carriers, sleeves, and retail-ready packaging. These accessories create polished unboxing experiences and protect cards during transit, enhancing the perceived value and usability of the finished product.

Affiliates and partners can capitalize on these extras by offering bundled solutions that appeal to merchants seeking complete, in-market-ready packages rather than raw card stock and data files.
