Solutions for Retail & Loyalty
Retailers rely on plastic cards to convert casual interest into sustained revenue, and Plastic Card ID delivers solutions designed to transform customer loyalty. Gift cards, stored-value cards, and loyalty plastic cards combine visually compelling design with durable materials that withstand daily handling in high-traffic environments.
Our approach integrates clear branding, robust printing techniques, and options like magnetic stripes or encoding to ensure cards work seamlessly at point of sale. We also provide packaging and collateral that enhance unboxing and presentation, increasing the perceived value of each purchase.
Gift Cards That Drive Sales
Gift cards are powerful conversion tools that retailers use to capture new customers and increase average order value. Plastic Card ID designs gift card programs with flexible denominations, bonded packaging options, and protective finishes that ensure cards arrive looking premium and ready to use.
By aligning card aesthetics with campaign messaging, retailers see measurable gains in redemption rates and repeat visits. Our production workflows support seasonal surges and national rollouts while maintaining accuracy and consistency across large print runs.
Loyalty and Stored-Value Options
From simple barcode loyalty cards to advanced RFID-enabled stored-value solutions, Plastic Card ID supplies the technology and design expertise to keep customers coming back. Loyalty cards are custom-coded and can be paired with digital systems to create omnichannel reward experiences that feel cohesive and modern.
We emphasize durability and user experience, recommending laminates and edge treatments that reduce wear and maintain readability across thousands of swipes and scans. These choices minimize replacements and protect program ROI.
Point-of-Sale Integration & Support
Seamless integration is critical for any card program.

Security is at the core of many card programs, and Plastic Card ID specializes in secure identity and access solutions that protect people and property. Offering smart cards such as MIFARE DESFire, contactless RFID, and photo ID options, we pair robust physical materials with secure encoding and optional holographic overlays.
These systems are designed for reliability in demanding environments like healthcare, hospitality, and higher education. The combination of durable construction and advanced security features helps organizations manage access while fostering a professional and unified brand identity.

We also offer secure printing methods and optional serialized numbering to track issuance and reduce fraud. These services are backed by warranties covering manufacture and encoding accuracy to ensure reliable performance.
