Whether you're looking to create membership cards, event passes, or any other type of plastic card, the right material selection is crucial. Heavy-duty PVC, PET plastics, and composite laminates each have unique attributes that can affect print quality, durability, and card lifespan. We factor in the intended use of your cards, environmental exposure, and frequency of use to propose the ideal material for your project.

Using suboptimal materials can lead to cards that crack, fade or even break under pressure. PCID steers you clear of such mishaps by closely aligning your needs with compatible materials that assure lasting service.

High-tech card printers are at the heart of producing stunning visual elements and razor-sharp details. Our card printers are designed to handle various types of card materials smoothly, preventing jams or misprints. This is important because you want your cards to not just pass the eyeball test but also run through card readers without a hitch.

The printer models we offer feature advanced settings and capabilities to deliver precise and crystal-clear output every time. The importance of printer compatibility with your chosen card material cannot be understated, and that's where our expertise shines.

Durability is not just a bonus; it's a necessity. Plastic Card ID helps you create cards that can survive the rigors of daily use. The right printer settings and material can protect against wear and tear, bending, and environmental stressors like UV light and moisture.

We recommend options that keep your cards in top shape for longer, ensuring that your customers, members, or attendees have a positive and lasting impression of your brand.

A card's beauty lies in its details-from color accuracy to design fidelity. Our expert printing solutions ensure that the vibrant colors and intricate designs you envision are flawlessly translated onto each card. The fidelity of imagery and text is a testament to the seamless interaction between printer and material.

At PCID , it's not just about getting the job done; it's about creating a miniature masterpiece every time a card is printed. Impress and engage with beautiful, high-fidelity cards that mirror your organization's quality and attention to detail.

Each client's requirements are unique, and we embrace that by offering tailor-made solutions. Your cards can be equipped with magnetic stripes, RFID chips, signature panels, and more, depending on their purpose. We align our printer choices with these features, ensuring that no matter the complexity of the card, the end result is impeccable.

With a vast array of card enhancements at your disposal, let us guide you through choosing the right customizations that will set your cards apart from the crowd. Call us at 800.835.7919 for a personalized consultation!

Magnetic stripe cards remain a popular choice for their simplicity and wide acceptance. But printing these cards requires precision. By using printers specifically designed to encode and verify magnetic stripes, we ensure that your cards work perfectly, every swipe.

Our meticulous process guarantees that information is accurately encoded and resilient to magnetic interference, keeping your data safe and operational.

RFID-enabled cards are the future of secure and quick transactions. Our compatible printers not only print on these advanced cards but also program them to align with your systems flawlessly. Whether for access control or cashless payment systems, we ensure that the technology within is as reliable as the card's external allure.

RFID cards are becoming ubiquitous, and having a trusted partner to produce them can set your organization apart. PCID is that partner, ready to help you stay ahead of the curve.

Don't settle for generic designs when your brand is anything but! Our printers are capable of rendering complex graphics and patterns with outstanding accuracy. From subtle background watermarks to bold full-color prints, we give you the canvas and the tools to express your brand's identity.

The right printer and material combination makes it possible to get creative with your card designs without sacrificing quality. Let us help you make your mark-literally and figuratively.

Cards often require more than just a pretty face; functionality is key. Signature panels, barcodes, and number embossing are just some of the customizations we offer. Our printers are specially configured to add these elements precisely and durably.

Such features not only add layers of utility to your cards but also enhance security and exclusivity, reinforcing the value your cards bring to bearers.
