Across industries, our focus on strategic partnership sets us apart: we don't simply supply plastic cards; we design tangible touchpoints that elevate brand loyalty and operational security. Working with over 100,000 clients and producing more than 50 million cards, Plastic Card ID blends creativity, precision, and service continuity into every order.

RFID Plastic Cards from Plastic Card ID combine the convenience of contactless technology with the resilience of professional-grade materials. Whether you need MIFARE DESFire for secure access control or basic RFID for retail loyalty programs, our cards are built to perform reliably in real-world environments and to scale with your needs.

Clients choose us because we offer tailored solutions and comprehensive warranties tailored to commercial use, plus specialty finishes like clear or custom-shaped cards. Our process centers on accuracy and durability so your cards maintain a crisp, professional presence that supports brand trust and repeat engagement.

Our RFID cards undergo rigorous testing for read-range consistency, printing adhesion, and edge durability. By combining premium PVC substrates with robust lamination options, we ensure each card lasts through daily handling and long-term circulation. This durability directly contributes to lower replacement costs and sustained customer satisfaction.

We also back many products with industry-leading warranties and quality guarantees that reflect our confidence in performance. For organizations prioritizing uptime and reliability, these assurances reduce risk and simplify procurement and lifecycle planning for card programs.

Design flexibility is a hallmark of our service: full-color printing, variable data, barcodes, magnetic stripes, and contactless encoding are all easily integrated. Add a clear or metallic finish, or choose unique shapes and luxe materials to create memorable, brand-defining cards that stand out from generic alternatives.

Our team works directly with your marketing or operations staff to ensure visual coherence and mechanical compatibility with existing readers and systems. We also include finishing options like custom carriers, sleeves, and affixing services to streamline distribution and deployment.

To discuss specifications, turnaround times, or volume discounts, call our specialist team at 800.835.7919. We provide consultative estimates that factor in encoding, personalization, and fulfillment so you get a complete picture of value, timeline, and logistics before you commit.

Every conversation is geared toward practical outcomes: lower total cost of ownership, smoother rollout, and measurable impact on customer retention or facility access. Even small program tweaks can create significant financial upside for retail and membership initiatives.

Our catalog covers an extensive array of card constructions and technical specs to match varied operational needs. From single-frequency RFID tags to advanced DESFire chips, each card can be specified with magnetic stripes, barcodes, or secure artwork to accommodate multi-purpose deployment across retail, hospitality, and institutional settings.

Technical documentation and sample kits are available for testing with your readers and systems. We routinely advise on antenna placement, printing tolerances, and encoding standards, which reduces implementation friction and accelerates time to value for programs leveraging contactless technology.

Choose from rigid PVC, composite blends, clear plastics, and metal-inset designs for added prestige. Finishing options include matte, gloss, soft-touch lamination, and spot varnish; each choice affects longevity and tactile appeal. For brands seeking a premium feel, specialty metal or foil accents create a memorable unboxing moment.

Our production team verifies aesthetic alignment with mechanical requirements so your chosen finish maintains readability and encoding integrity. This attention to detail ensures the finished product both looks exceptional and performs reliably in daily use.

Every RFID card is produced to specification and subjected to performance verification. We test scanning range, read/write reliability, and printing adhesion under environmental and usage simulations. This rigorous approach minimizes field failures and supports dependable deployment in high-traffic settings.

We can provide compliance documentation and compatibility matrices for system integrators. Our engineering consultations help determine optimal chip selections, memory configurations, and frequency choices to meet both current and future requirements.

Ordering is streamlined with flexible minimums, volume pricing, and optional encoding at the point of manufacture. For convenience, we offer on-site or remote encoding and personalization services along with fulfillment options like full-service mailing.

Security underpins many modern access and identity systems, and our RFID Plastic Cards are engineered to support robust access control architectures. With options that include encrypted chips, secure keys, and provisioning services, Plastic Card ID helps organizations mitigate unauthorized entry while simplifying day-to-day credential management.

Beyond hardware, our specialists advise on systems integration and lifecycle strategies such as credential revocation, replacement protocols, and secure encoding practices. These measures create a pragmatic security posture without sacrificing ease of use for staff or cardholders.

We provision cards with high-security chips like MIFARE DESFire and other encrypted solutions that protect sensitive access credentials. Choosing the right chip and key management strategy is essential; our consultants help you balance security requirements with interoperability and cost considerations to best match your environment.

Secure provisioning at manufacture reduces the risks inherent in local encoding and provides traceability across your card program. This model supports compliance and simplifies audits for organizations that require documented control over credential issuance.

Whether integrating with door controllers, POS systems, or campus management software, our RFID cards are specified to meet compatibility standards and reader tolerances. We provide technical consultation to minimize integration challenges and ensure consistent read rates across different device models and installation conditions.

During planning, we emphasize pragmatic recommendations: antenna orientation, reader firmware versions, and environmental considerations that influence performance. Practical advice like this avoids costly reprints and reduces downtime during rollouts.

When access is mission-critical, timely support matters. We offer prioritized service options and emergency reprints for lost or damaged credentials; simply contact our support desk at 800.835.7919 to initiate an expedited replacement. Our goal is to restore secure access with minimal disruption.

We also provide scalable inventory solutions to maintain a buffer stock for high-turnover environments. This proactive approach keeps operations moving and mitigates the risk of program interruptions caused by unexpected demand spikes.
