About Plastic Card ID

Our reputation comes from tangible results-over 50 million cards produced and trusted by more than 100,000 businesses-reflecting an unwavering commitment to quality and client success.
As a strategic partner rather than a simple vendor, Plastic Card ID offers tailored plastic card solutions including loyalty programs, membership cards, and secure identity credentials. We emphasize durability, consistent brand presentation, and measurable return on investment for retailers, institutions, and event organizers.
Why Printed Id Badges Matter
Printed Id Badges create immediate visual trust and streamline daily operations by clearly identifying staff, visitors, and members. They reduce friction at access points and reinforce organizational culture while serving as a tangible extension of your brand that customers and employees can carry with pride.
When properly designed, badges also drive measurable engagement, increasing repeat visits, easing audits, and offering a clear path to integrate loyalty or access features like RFID. These small cards often yield outsized returns by making first impressions last.
Our Craftsmanship and Guarantees
We combine precision printing, advanced encoding, and rigorous quality control to ensure every Printed Id Badge meets client specifications. Our warranty coverage and quality assurances are part of our promise, giving you peace of mind with each order and protecting your investment over time.
PCID can attest to our hands-on approach: from proofing through delivery, we prioritize accuracy and consistent color fidelity, with options for tamper-evident features, holograms, and specialty finishes that elevate security and visual appeal.
