Our Story and Values
PCID's story is one of steady refinement: a team focused on quality, reliability, and measurable outcomes. Over decades we have refined production, materials, and fulfillment to ensure every card reflects a brand's promise, while our commitment to lasting value sets us apart in both product and customer care.

What We Make
Our product range spans standard gift and loyalty cards to specialized items like Clear Plastic Business Cards, RFID-enabled access cards, and custom-shaped promotional pieces. Each product is produced with exacting quality standards and multiple finish options so brands can stand out with clarity and tactile presence in competitive markets.

Clients who upgrade from paper to plastic routinely report dramatic improvements in redemption rates and customer perception, validating the strategic value of premium physical marketing tools.

Clear Plastic Business Cards That Stand Out
Clear Plastic Business Cards are an exceptional way to make a memorable first impression and reinforce brand identity. Their translucent surface and precision printing convey modernity and professionalism while remaining durable enough for everyday handling, providing both visual novelty and long-lasting functionality for networkers and sales teams alike.
When crafted with attention to finish and typography, clear cards become conversation starters. They pair particularly well with spot UV, metallic inks, or unique cutouts, enabling brands to communicate a sense of sophistication. The result is a distinctive physical token that customers and prospects keep, increasing brand recall over time.
Products & Options
Our clear card offerings include different thicknesses, rounded or custom-cut shapes, and optional printing effects that optimize legibility and style. Whether you need subtle translucency for a minimalist look or boldly printed white layers for contrast, we provide specifications that fit diverse brand identities and campaign objectives.
- Transparent core materials for a modern aesthetic and sturdy feel.
- Layered white printing to enhance contrast on logos and text.
- Custom die-cut shapes for memorable, brand-specific silhouettes.
- Optional foil and enamel accents to elevate perceived value.
These choices let brands create cards that match marketing goals and budget considerations. Our design team collaborates to balance aesthetics and production constraints, ensuring each order delivers consistent results with high-impact visual clarity.
Specialty Finishes and Luxury Options
Beyond clear plastic substrates, we offer a suite of luxury and specialty finishes such as metallic coatings, embossing, and stainless-steel integrations. These high-end options are ideal for premium gift cards, VIP passes, and executive contact pieces that must communicate exclusivity and lasting impression effectively.
Many clients combine finishes-clear backgrounds with spot metallics or selective varnish-to create layered effects that perform well in both retail counters and networking environments. Our expertise ensures the final product aligns with brand standards and end-use durability expectations.
Ordering, Pricing, and Lead Times
We offer straightforward ordering processes with transparent pricing tiers that account for quantity, customization, and additional services like mailing or affixing. Our production timelines are competitive, and we work with clients to meet seasonal or campaign-driven deadlines without sacrificing quality or consistency.

We perform quality assurance that includes abrasion, adhesion, and environmental exposure tests to ensure cards maintain functionality under frequent use, preserving both aesthetics and encoded elements over time.
Clients receive guidance on best practices for card issuance and replacement, and we offer warranty terms on manufacturing defects. This attention to detail helps organizations minimize disruptions and keep credential systems operating with confidence and reliability.
Marketing Impact & Case Studies
Plastic cards are not just functional items-they are powerful marketing tools that drive measurable engagement. Gift cards and loyalty programs produced by PCID frequently lead to increased revenue, higher customer retention, and stronger brand recognition across retail and service industries.
Case studies demonstrate that moving from paper to plastic gift cards can boost sales significantly, while creative mailers and specialty shapes often double response rates compared to standard campaigns. These real-world results highlight how physical assets can deliver enduring returns when combined with targeted strategy.
Gift Cards & Loyalty Programs
Gift cards sell, and loyalty cards retain. Our clients consistently report that professionally produced plastic cards convert better at point of sale and increase repeat visitation. The tangible nature of a plastic card communicates legitimacy and value, improving both redemption behaviors and customer perceptions over time.
We support multi-channel distribution, from in-store fulfillment to direct mail and digital redemption systems, ensuring every card functions as a sales catalyst. Strategic packaging and messaging amplify outcomes, creating a compelling, brand-consistent experience for recipients.
Response Rates and Results
Measured campaigns show tangible uplift: specialty postcard mailers and clear cards often outperform traditional paper by twofold in response rates. These outcomes are driven by novelty, perceived value, and the durability of the medium, which together encourage longer retention and increased interaction with offers.
Our analysts work with clients to design tracking and redemption metrics to quantify campaign performance. By aligning production details with campaign goals, brands can iterate on creative and distribution strategies to maximize return on investment and long-term customer lifetime value.
