Overview: What We Deliver
Our core offering centers on precision PVC Card Printing and value-added services that support marketing and operations.

We ensure transparent timelines and clear next steps from proofing through delivery, helping teams integrate plastic cards into broader campaigns smoothly.
Heritage, Reach, and Results
PCID's history is built on long-term partnerships rather than one-off transactions, which is reflected in repeated contract renewals and affiliate success stories. Brands that move from paper to plastic often see proven increases in sales and improved customer retention, demonstrating the financial value of durable brand tokens.
Our geographic footprint supports delivery across major markets and targeted niches in hospitality, gaming, retail, and education. We combine production capacity with consultative services to make sure every PVC Card Printing project meets brand goals and operational constraints.
Commitment to Quality and Service
Quality controls are embedded at every stage: pre-press review, press checks, and final inspection. Our approach results in high-fidelity color, secure encoding where needed, and long-lasting finishes that preserve brand impressions over time. Clients rely on our consistency for both promotional and operational card programs.
Beyond production we offer ongoing support and warranty options that protect against manufacturing defects, reinforcing a partnership model that values reliability and continual improvement in materials, printing techniques, and service delivery.
Solutions for Marketing and Loyalty
Plastic gift cards and loyalty credentials are core drivers of customer engagement and measurable revenue. Through targeted PVC Card Printing projects, brands gain a tangible asset that encourages repeat business, fosters brand attachment, and converts casual shoppers into loyal customers with clear redemption pathways.
PCID's solutions are designed to integrate into omnichannel marketing: in-store displays, mailers, and POS collateral. Each printed piece can be encoded with barcodes or magnetic stripes and paired with promotional carriers to ensure a professional, trackable customer experience.
Gift Cards that Convert
Our gift cards are engineered to perform-durable stock, vivid printing, and secure encoding make them ideal for seasonal drives and year-round promotions. Retailers often see measurable uplifts in average ticket size and repeat visits after introducing professionally printed gift cards versus paper certificates.
The flexibility of PVC Card Printing supports single-run special editions, holiday campaigns, and long-term loyalty inventories. Our team helps you determine optimal quantities, packaging, and carrier options to maximize both promotional impact and operational efficiency.
Loyalty Programs and Database Integration
Loyalty cards printed by PCID can be encoded for easy scanning and linked to CRM or POS systems for reliable tracking. We consult on database integration, batch encoding, and card numbering strategies to make sure every card contributes to reliable measurement of campaign performance.
With secure encoding options and tailored personalization, cards can be issued in bulk or personalized on demand to support segmented loyalty tiers, member-exclusive offers, and anniversary recognition programs that deepen customer relationships over time.
Specialty Options and Customization
- Clear plastic cards and translucent effects for standout presentation
- Unique die-cut shapes for memorable, brand-driven designs
- Luxury metal overlays and specialty foils for a premium feel
Whether you seek bold retail gift cards or discrete membership IDs, our specialty offerings expand the impact of PVC Card Printing with finishes and forms that reflect your brand's personality and campaign objectives.
Security and Access Control
Security-focused cards require more than strong ink-they demand secure materials, encoding options, and rigorous production controls. PCID manufactures identification and access credentials with encryption-ready formats, durability for daily use, and tamper-resistant building blocks for sensitive environments.
From stadium passes to employee badges, our security portfolio leverages MIFARE DESFire and other contactless technologies when requested, enabling secure, contactless access while maintaining clear visual branding and longevity under frequent handling.
Identification & Badges
Custom ID badges produced through our PVC Card Printing services can support photo IDs, integrated barcodes, and signature panels. Organizations appreciate the balance of visual clarity and practical durability that ensures IDs remain legible and functional through heavy daily use.
For program setup and badge lifecycle management, contact our team at 800.835.7919 to discuss secure printing, on-site issuance options, or batch encoding that aligns with your identity management policies and access control protocols.
RFID and Contactless Solutions
Contactless cards offer convenience and enhanced security for hotels, casinos, and corporate sites. We provide embedded RFID options with proven performance in high-traffic environments, enabling fast, reliable authentication and seamless user experiences at entry points and service touchpoints.
Our implementation services include module specification, testing for read ranges, and coordination with access control vendors so cards function correctly within existing ecosystems and maintain reliable performance across daily operational demands.
Regulatory & Operational Compliance
We advise on material selection, encoding standards, and retention policies to support compliance with industry and institutional requirements. This guidance helps clients reduce operational risk and maintain continuity with vendor systems and internal governance for identity issuance and card management.
Every security project includes documentation and spec sheets that aid facilities management teams, ensuring that card issuance, replacement, and decommissioning follow consistent procedures aligned with internal controls and best practices.
Custom Finishes and Premium Cards
High-end finishes and unique materials elevate brand perception and create keepsakes that customers are reluctant to discard. PCID's PVC Card Printing services range from matte-satin finishes to metallic foils and selective gloss that accent logos, barcodes, and personalization zones.
Luxury options-such as stainless steel overlays, gold-colored accents, or die-cut designs-deliver memorable unboxing moments and reflect the premium positioning of brands in hospitality, fashion, and exclusive membership programs.
Clear, Metal & Shaped Cards
Specialty clear plastic and metal-infused cards offer distinctive tactile and visual qualities that stand apart in wallets and displays. These options are ideal for limited-edition campaigns, VIP memberships, and retail promotions where presentation materially affects perceived value.
To explore production timelines and sample availability, reach out via 800.835.7919 and our production advisors will outline feasible options, minimum order quantities, and finishing combinations that suit both budget and brand aspirations.
Luxury Finishes and Effects
Foil stamping, spot UV, and raised varnish techniques can be applied to PVC cards to emphasize logos and call-to-action areas. These techniques enhance perceived value and encourage retention, making the card itself a piece of brand communication rather than a disposable token.
We collaborate with creative teams to recommend finishes that reproduce consistently in production while retaining cost-effectiveness for larger runs. This consultative approach ensures stunning results that align with campaign goals and budget constraints.
Production, Quality Assurance & Warranties
Quality assurance is central to each production run: color matching, edge quality, chip encodings, and legibility checks are verified prior to shipment. We back our workmanship with industry-leading warranties that protect clients from manufacturing defects and ensure continuity of supply.
Our warranty terms and post-delivery support create confidence for partners who rely on predictable inventory for promotions and operations. When issues arise, we prioritize rapid corrective action to keep campaigns and programs on schedule.
