Access Control Cards & Security Solutions
Access Control Cards are central to modern security strategies, and Plastic Card ID engineers options that match the needs of every environment. From simple proximity badges to advanced contactless DESFire credentials, security is designed into both the card and the workflow.
Beyond encoding and materials, we emphasize integration with access hardware and software, ensuring cards work reliably with readers, turnstiles, and door controllers. Our technicians consult on compatibility and deployment to minimize disruption and maximize uptime.
RFID and Smart Card Technologies
Our smart card offerings include MIFARE, DESFire, and other contactless technologies tailored for secure authentication and multi-application use. Each Access Control Card can be programmed for single-purpose entry or consolidated into a multi-service credential that simplifies user experience.

Custom Printing & Specialty Cards
Custom printing is where brand identity meets functional utility. Plastic Card ID offers full-color digital presses, specialty finishes, and bespoke dielines to create cards that reflect brand personality and perform consistently in daily use. Every batch is inspected for color fidelity and alignment.
Specialty options such as clear plastic, custom shapes, and luxury metal cards allow brands to stand out. These tactile differentiators often yield stronger engagement, making physical cards a measurable component of marketing and operational programs.
Luxury Materials and Finishes
Luxury metal cards and clear plastic variants speak to exclusivity and status, useful for VIP programs and premium customer recognition. These options are produced with meticulous finishing to ensure edges, finishes, and print quality align with a high-end brand presentation.
When durability and appearance both matter, our materials selection and finishing processes ensure a product that withstands everyday handling while continuing to convey prestige in every interaction.
Custom Shapes, Sizes, and Artwork
We support custom shapes and alternative sizes that help packaging and point-of-sale stand out. Our design team collaborates on dielines, bleeds, and material compatibility so custom cards function reliably in vending, point-of-sale, and mailing environments.
For projects requiring unique branding treatments, reach out early in the design phase to ensure production timelines are met and the final result achieves the desired market impact without compromise.
