Our printing technologies ensure consistent results across runs, so seasonal promotions and long-term loyalty elements maintain the same premium look. Thoughtful material choices help your program feel intentional and professional to customers.

From alumni associations to corporate access, our cards are designed to withstand daily handling and represent organizations professionally. Clients benefit from consistent printing standards and secure personalization across large populations.

Contactless cards, including MIFARE DESFire and similar formats, power modern access control and loyalty interactions with security and convenience. We work with integrators to ensure card encoding matches system requirements and is thoroughly tested before deployment.

These contactless solutions reduce friction at gates, front desks, and retail terminals, improving user satisfaction while maintaining the necessary cryptography and access rules. Businesses gain the benefit of fast transactions and reliable security without sacrificing aesthetics.

A regional hotel chain partnered with Plastic Card ID to replace outdated keycards with contactless solutions that improved guest experience and reduced front-desk wait times. The project included encoding, custom artwork, and coordinated reissuance across properties over a two-month window.

The result was immediate: faster check-in, fewer card failures, and elevated brand perception. Operational leaders reported measurable improvements in guest satisfaction scores and lower staff time spent on key management.
