Card Options & Specifications
Choosing the right card starts with understanding the technical and aesthetic options available. Plastic Card ID provides detailed specifications for thickness, substrate, finishes, and encoding so you can select a combination that balances durability, appearance, and budget.
Options include magnetic stripes, barcodes, and a variety of contactless chips, each of which can be paired with protective overlays and specialty printing techniques. These layers of choice make it possible to design cards that are both visually appealing and functionally robust for everyday use.
Customization extends beyond the card face: custom shapes, clear panels, and embossed or foil-stamped elements translate brand values into tactile experiences that customers remember. The end result is a card that performs flawlessly while reinforcing brand identity in a tangible way.
Material and Finish Choices
Plastic card materials are selected for different use cases: standard PVC for economy projects, higher-weight PVC for increased longevity, and metal or composite blends for premium experiences. Finishes such as matte, gloss, or soft-touch laminates affect both feel and durability.
Choosing the appropriate material ensures your program delivers consistent appearance and longevity. With expert consultation, Plastic Card ID helps clients match material and finish to usage patterns, ensuring the card performs in real-world conditions without sacrificing visual impact.
Encoding and Security
Encoding options range from simple magnetic stripes to sophisticated encrypted chips suitable for modern access control systems. Secure printing methods and tamper-evident features help protect credentials and reduce the risk of fraud, while compatibility testing ensures smooth integration.
For high-security environments, the company offers advanced readers and integration support to meet compliance requirements. The combination of secure hardware and thoughtful program design reduces operational risk and strengthens user trust.
Production Timelines and Minimums
Production timelines vary by complexity and volume, but Plastic Card ID maintains efficient scheduling to meet marketing and operational deadlines. Clients receive clear timelines, proofing stages, and shipment estimates to coordinate launches and mailing campaigns with confidence.
Minimum order quantities are competitive and tailored to different product lines, allowing flexibility for promotional runs or long-term programs. With transparent lead times and predictable delivery, organizations can plan campaigns without last-minute surprises.

Retail Gift Card Campaign
