Why "No Minimum" Changes Everything
For small businesses, startups, and even nonprofits, the traditional model of plastic card printing was a serious barrier. Most printers required massive minimum orders that forced businesses to over-buy or go without. We broke that mold entirely by offering custom plastic cards with no minimum order requirement, making professional cards accessible to organizations of every size and stage.
This flexibility means a boutique coffee shop can order 50 loyalty cards for a seasonal promotion without paying for 500. A small gym can test a new membership card design before committing to a full print run. We give you the power to move at your own pace, test ideas, and scale up when you are ready, all without financial strain or wasted product.
Over 25 Years of Proven Expertise
Trust is not built overnight. Our 25-plus years in the industry represent thousands of successful projects, millions of satisfied cardholders, and an unwavering standard of quality that our clients rely on year after year. We have seen trends come and go, and through it all, one thing remains constant: businesses need tangible, high-quality tools to connect with their customers.
With more than 50 million cards printed and delivered, our experience is not just a number - it is a guarantee. Every card that leaves our facility reflects decades of refinement, precision, and passion for the craft. When you work with us, you are working with a team that has seen it all and knows exactly how to make your cards stand out.
Nationwide Shipping, Delivered to Your Door
No matter where your business is located - from the busy streets of New York City to a small town in rural Montana - we ship your custom plastic cards directly to you. Our nationwide shipping network ensures that your order arrives on time and in perfect condition, so you can get your cards in circulation and start building customer relationships without delay.
We handle everything from printing to packaging and delivery, so you never have to worry about logistics. Our streamlined ordering process means you can place an order quickly, track your shipment, and receive your cards with confidence. Convenience and reliability are not extras; they are the standard we hold ourselves to every single day.
Our Full Range of Custom Plastic Cards
The variety of cards we produce is one of the things that truly sets us apart. We are not a one-trick pony. Our product catalog spans virtually every type of plastic card a business could ever need, and we customize every single one to match your brand perfectly. From bold, full-color gift cards to sleek, professional membership credentials, we cover the full spectrum of card solutions.
Every card we produce is made from durable, high-quality PVC material that resists fading, bending, and everyday wear. Your customers will hold onto a well-made plastic card far longer than a paper coupon or a digital notification, and that physical presence keeps your brand top of mind in a way no screen can fully replicate.
Gift Cards and Loyalty Cards
Gift cards are one of the most powerful revenue tools available to any business. Research consistently shows that customers who redeem gift cards spend significantly more than the card's face value, often 20% to 40% more. Our custom gift cards are professionally printed, visually striking, and built to reflect the quality of your brand from the very first glance.
Loyalty cards are equally impactful. When customers carry your loyalty card in their wallet, your brand travels with them everywhere. Studies have shown that loyalty programs can increase overall sales by 35-50%, and that kind of return on investment makes a well-designed loyalty card one of the smartest marketing spends you can make. We print loyalty cards for businesses in retail, food service, fitness, beauty, hospitality, and beyond.
Membership Cards and ID Badges
Membership cards do more than just grant access - they create a sense of belonging. Whether you run a gym, a professional association, a alumni network, or a private club, a well-crafted membership card signals to your members that they are part of something meaningful and exclusive. We produce membership cards that look premium and feel substantial in the hand.
For organizations that need secure identification, our ID badge solutions are second to none. From employee access badges to union credentials and student ID cards, we design and print ID cards that combine professional appearance with practical functionality. We can incorporate barcodes, magnetic stripes, and other features to ensure your ID system works seamlessly.
Specialty and Unique Card Options
Sometimes a standard card just will not do. For brands that want to make an absolutely unforgettable first impression, we offer a stunning range of specialty card options. These include clear plastic cards, custom-shaped cards, frosted cards, and even luxury metal cards crafted from premium materials like stainless steel and gold-finished alloy.
Metal cards, in particular, carry an unmistakable sense of prestige. The moment someone holds a metal card, they feel the weight of quality and exclusivity. These cards are perfect for VIP programs, premium membership tiers, and high-end client gifting. We also produce hotel key cards, casino player cards, and RFID-enabled smart cards with contactless technology for organizations with advanced access control needs.
Card Printers and Supplies Shipped Nationwide

Do not hesitate to call us at 800-835-7919 with any questions about printers or supplies.
Ribbons, Supplies, and Refill Materials
A card printer is only as good as the supplies that feed it. We carry a comprehensive selection of printer ribbons, including full-color YMCKO ribbons, monochrome ribbons for black-only printing, and specialty ribbons for holographic overlaminates and other security features. We stock supplies compatible with all major printer brands so you are never left searching for the right match.
Our supply catalog also includes blank PVC card stock in standard CR80 size as well as thicker, more durable options. We offer pre-punched cards, cards with magnetic stripes, and smart card blanks ready for encoding. Whatever your in-house printing setup requires, we have the supplies to keep it running without interruption.
Accessories That Complete Your Card Program
A great card deserves great accessories. We supply cardholders, lanyards, retractable badge reels, card sleeves, custom card carriers, and presentation packaging that elevates the entire card experience. These finishing touches make a significant difference in how recipients perceive the value and professionalism of your card program.
We also offer full-service card affixing and mailing solutions for businesses that want to send cards directly to customers or members. This turnkey service takes the work off your plate entirely, allowing you to focus on running your business while we handle the production and distribution of your card program from start to finish.
The Business Case for Custom Plastic Cards
Some business owners wonder whether plastic cards are still relevant in an age of apps and digital wallets. The answer is a resounding yes - and the numbers prove it. Physical plastic cards continue to outperform digital-only alternatives in customer retention, brand recognition, and sales conversion across virtually every industry.
The durability and visual impact of a plastic card make it a marketing tool that simply cannot be replicated by a push notification or an email. Customers keep plastic cards in their wallets, on their desks, and on their keychains - and every time they see your card, they think of your brand. That kind of repeated, passive exposure is invaluable for building long-term customer loyalty.
Gift Cards Drive Real Revenue
Retailers who switch from paper gift certificates to professional plastic gift cards often see their gift card sales increase by as much as 100%. That is not a small improvement - that is a transformation. The professional appearance of a plastic gift card communicates quality and makes the card itself feel like a worthwhile gift, which encourages more purchases and higher spending per transaction.
Gift cards also bring new customers into your business. When someone receives a gift card from a friend or family member, they visit your store or website for the first time, discover what you offer, and often become repeat customers on their own. Our custom gift cards are designed to make that first impression count in every possible way.
Loyalty Programs That Actually Work
A loyalty card is only effective if customers keep it and use it regularly. A cheaply printed paper punch card gets lost, crumpled, or thrown away. A professional, durable plastic loyalty card earns its place in a customer's wallet and stays there. That physical presence is a constant reminder to choose your business over a competitor every single time.
Our loyalty cards can be designed with magnetic stripes, barcodes, or QR codes to integrate with your point-of-sale system, making them not just beautiful but fully functional. We work with businesses across dozens of industries to create loyalty programs that drive measurable, repeatable revenue growth through thoughtful card design and strategic program structure.
Membership and Access Control Solutions
For organizations that rely on membership programs or controlled access environments, the right card is not just a convenience - it is a security requirement. We produce cards with built-in RFID chips, magnetic stripes, barcodes, and holographic security overlaminates that protect the integrity of your access control systems while maintaining a polished, professional appearance.
From hotel key cards that use MIFARE DESFire contactless technology to casino player cards that track loyalty points and control access to restricted areas, we have the technical expertise to deliver cards that work hard behind the scenes while looking great on the surface. Our cards are engineered for real-world performance in demanding environments.
Why Businesses Across America Choose Us
With so many printing options available today, it is fair to ask what makes us different. The answer is a combination of experience, range, flexibility, and a genuine commitment to your success that goes well beyond simply printing cards and shipping them out. We are invested in your outcome, and that shows in every interaction you have with our team.
We have built lasting relationships with clients in virtually every industry - retail, healthcare, hospitality, finance, fitness, education, nonprofits, and beyond. Each of these industries has unique needs, and we have the experience to meet them all. Our team brings creative solutions, technical knowledge, and a customer-first mindset to every single project we take on.
No Minimums, No Hassle
We already talked about our no-minimum policy, but it is worth emphasizing again because it truly does change the game for so many businesses. You are never forced to order more than you need. You are never stuck with boxes of outdated cards because your design changed or your promotion ended. With us, you order exactly what you need, when you need it, and that is a freedom most printers simply do not offer.
This policy also makes us an ideal partner for businesses that are growing and changing rapidly. Startups can test different card designs without a massive upfront investment. Established businesses can run limited-edition seasonal cards without committing to full production runs. The flexibility we offer is a genuine competitive advantage for our clients.
Fast Turnaround and Reliable Shipping
We know that time matters in business. When you need cards for an upcoming event, a new employee orientation, or a product launch, waiting weeks for delivery is not an option. Our production and shipping processes are optimized for speed without sacrificing quality, ensuring your cards arrive when you need them and in perfect condition every time.
Our nationwide shipping network covers every zip code in the country, so it does not matter whether you are ordering from a major metropolitan area or a small rural community.

Whether you are a first-time buyer who has never ordered custom cards before or a seasoned professional managing a large-scale card program, our team is here to make the experience smooth, straightforward, and enjoyable. We take pride in the relationships we build with our clients, and many of them have been ordering with us for years as a direct result of the service quality they receive.

How Does the Ordering Process Work?
Ordering with us is designed to be as easy and stress-free as possible. You can reach us by phone to speak directly with a card specialist who will guide you through the process from start to finish. We will discuss your needs, help you choose the right card type, and walk you through design and customization options that fit your budget and timeline.
Once your order details are confirmed and your design is approved, we move into production. Our quality control processes ensure that every card in your order meets our high standards before it ever gets packaged for shipping. We then ship your completed cards directly to your specified address anywhere in the country, with tracking information provided so you always know where your order stands.
What Is the Price Range for Custom Cards?
Pricing varies depending on the type of card, quantity, customization level, and any special features you choose to include. As a general guideline, standard custom plastic cards for loyalty and gift programs typically range from $75-$200 per hundred cards, depending on options. Specialty cards like metal cards or RFID-enabled smart cards are priced higher to reflect their premium materials and technical components.
We encourage every prospective customer to call us for a personalized quote, because we are often able to offer solutions that work within budgets that clients initially thought were too small for professional cards. Our no-minimum policy means you are not locked into expensive bulk pricing, and our team will always work with you to find the best value for your specific situation and requirements.
Case Study Highlights: Real Results With Custom Plastic Cards
Numbers and features are important, but nothing tells the story better than real-world results. Across our 25-plus years in business, we have witnessed thousands of transformative outcomes for businesses that made the decision to invest in high-quality custom plastic cards. Here are a few representative examples that illustrate what is truly possible.
These examples are drawn from the types of businesses we work with every day. While specific client names have been changed for confidentiality, the results described reflect genuine outcomes that our cards and programs have helped generate for businesses just like yours.
Retail Gift Card Transformation
A regional boutique clothing retailer had been using paper gift certificates for years with modest results. After switching to professionally designed, full-color plastic gift cards through our program, they saw their gift card sales increase by nearly 85% in the first holiday season alone. The plastic cards were perceived as gifts in themselves, driving higher purchase values and more frequent redemption activity than the paper certificates ever achieved.
The retailer also noticed that customers who redeemed the plastic gift cards spent an average of 32% more than the card's value during their visit, a significant uptick in per-transaction revenue that more than justified the investment in professional card production. The store manager credited the cards' professional appearance with changing how customers perceived the brand as a whole, elevating the entire shopping experience in a meaningful way.
Gym Membership Retention Improvement
A mid-sized fitness center was struggling with member retention and wanted to reinforce its brand identity in a tangible way. They worked with us to create a premium membership card that featured the gym's logo, the member's name, and a barcode for check-in integration with their management software. The card design was sharp, modern, and communicated the gym's commitment to quality and professionalism.
Within six months of launching the new membership cards, the gym reported a measurable improvement in member retention rates and received numerous positive comments from members about the cards themselves. Several members mentioned that the quality of the card made them feel more committed to their membership - a psychological effect that translated directly into reduced cancellations and increased referral activity from proud, engaged members who felt part of something worthwhile.
Corporate ID Badge Overhaul
A growing technology company with offices in multiple states needed to standardize and upgrade its employee ID badge system. They came to us with a need for durable, professional ID badges that could incorporate employee photos, department information, and access control barcodes across a workforce of several hundred employees spread across different locations, all while maintaining a consistent, polished brand identity.
We worked closely with their HR and security teams to design a badge system that met all their functional requirements while looking impressive and professional. The cards were printed with high-definition imagery, durable UV coating, and precise barcode encoding. The rollout was seamless, and the company has continued ordering updated and replacement badges from us regularly, making us their trusted long-term card supplier for all ongoing identity and access needs.
Plastic Card Accessories and Value-Added Services
A complete card program involves more than just the cards themselves. We have built out a full suite of accessories and value-added services that ensure your card program operates beautifully from the moment the cards are produced to the moment they land in your customer's or member's hands. We think of everything so you do not have to.
Our accessories and services are designed to complement our cards perfectly, ensuring a consistent level of quality and professionalism across every element of your card program. From packaging to mailing, we handle the details that make a significant difference in the overall customer experience.
Card Carriers, Sleeves, and Presentation Packaging
The way you present a card can be just as important as the card itself. A gift card tucked into a beautifully designed custom carrier feels like a real gift - something to be cherished rather than casually tucked away. We produce custom card carriers and sleeves that match your brand identity, elevating the unboxing experience and reinforcing the value of what you are giving your customers or members.
Whether you need simple kraft paper sleeves with your logo printed on them or fully customized folded carriers with promotional messaging and design elements, we have the capability to deliver packaging solutions that make your cards shine. Presentation packaging is a detail that customers notice and remember, and it contributes to an overall brand experience that sets you apart from competitors who overlook these finishing touches.
Full-Service Card Affixing and Mailing
For businesses that send cards directly to customers, members, or prospects through direct mail, our full-service affixing and mailing solution is a tremendous time and cost saver. We handle the entire process - printing the cards, affixing them to mailers or carriers, addressing, and mailing - so you can launch a card distribution campaign without ever having to touch an envelope yourself.
This service is particularly popular with businesses launching new loyalty programs, membership renewals, and seasonal gift card promotions. By outsourcing the mailing logistics to us, businesses free up significant internal resources while benefiting from our expertise in direct mail best practices and efficient card distribution. It is a turnkey solution that delivers professional results every single time.
Custom Postcard Mailers for Direct Marketing
Our plastic postcard mailers are a uniquely powerful direct marketing tool that consistently outperforms traditional paper mailers. Because they are printed on durable plastic stock, they feel different in the hand, stand out in a pile of paper mail, and have a response rate that is roughly double that of standard paper direct mail campaigns. They are bold, tactile, and impossible to ignore.
We design and produce custom plastic postcard mailers for businesses in retail, real estate, healthcare, hospitality, and many other industries. Whether you are promoting a grand opening, a seasonal sale, a membership drive, or a special event, a plastic postcard mailer commands attention and delivers your message with a level of impact that paper simply cannot match. Ask us about incorporating them into your next marketing campaign.
Our Commitment to Quality You Can Count On
Quality is not a marketing slogan for us - it is a deeply held operational standard that permeates every aspect of how we work. From the materials we source to the printing processes we use to the quality checks we perform before every shipment leaves our facility, we hold ourselves to a standard of excellence that our clients have come to rely on absolutely.
Every card we produce goes through a rigorous inspection process to ensure that colors are accurate, edges are clean, encoding is functional, and every design element is exactly as approved. We do not ship cards that do not meet our standards, because your brand reputation is attached to every single card that carries your name and logo.
Premium PVC Materials for Lasting Durability
The cards we produce are made from high-grade PVC material that is engineered to withstand the rigors of everyday use. They resist bending, cracking, fading, and surface scratching far better than lesser materials, which means your cards look great and function properly for the entire lifespan of the card program. We do not cut corners on materials because the durability of your cards reflects directly on your brand.
Our printing inks are UV-stable and resistant to fading, ensuring that the colors and imagery on your cards remain vibrant and sharp even after extended use. We apply UV protective coatings as a standard finishing process on most card types, adding an additional layer of protection that preserves the card's appearance and reinforces its durability under normal handling conditions.
Precise Color Matching and Design Accuracy
Your brand colors are important, and we take color accuracy seriously. Our printing systems are calibrated to deliver precise, consistent color reproduction across every card in your order, whether you are printing 50 cards or 50,000. We match colors to your brand standards and use your provided design files with meticulous attention to detail to ensure the final product looks exactly as you envisioned.
If you do not have a finalized design, our in-house design team can help you create one. We work from your logo, brand guidelines, and creative direction to develop card artwork that is professional, visually compelling, and perfectly suited to the card type and application you have chosen. Good design is not optional - it is essential to the performance of your card program.
Encoding and Functional Feature Testing
For cards that include magnetic stripes, barcodes, QR codes, or RFID chips, we perform functional testing to verify that every encoding element works correctly before shipment. A loyalty card with a magnetic stripe that does not swipe properly is worse than useless - it creates a frustrating experience for your customer and reflects poorly on your brand. We make sure that never happens with our thorough pre-shipment testing protocols.
Our encoding capabilities are extensive and include all standard magnetic stripe formats, linear and 2D barcodes, QR codes, and a range of RFID/contactless smart card technologies including MIFARE DESFire. Whatever your system requires, we encode it accurately and verify its functionality so your cards integrate seamlessly with your point-of-sale, access control, or membership management software from day one.
