We have spent over 25 years perfecting the craft of custom plastic cards, and our results speak loudly: more than 50 million cards printed and over 100,000 businesses served across the country.
We ship plastic cards, card printers, and all the refill supplies you need directly to your door - no matter where you are in the nation.

Our team is passionate about helping your brand make a lasting physical impression. In a world flooded with digital noise, a well-crafted plastic card cuts through the clutter and puts your brand directly in your customer's hand - and wallet. That kind of visibility is priceless, and we make it affordable.
Why Physical Cards Still Matter in a Digital World
It might surprise you to learn that plastic cards continue to outperform many digital marketing tools in terms of customer engagement and brand recall. When someone holds your card, they are holding a piece of your brand identity. That tactile experience builds trust and familiarity in a way a screen notification simply cannot replicate.
Studies show that businesses switching from paper certificates to professional plastic gift cards often see sales increases of up to 100%. That is not a small bump - that is a transformative shift. We have seen this happen time and again with our clients, and we are proud to be the engine behind that kind of growth.

Our Complete Line of Wholesale Plastic Cards
We offer one of the most comprehensive selections of plastic cards available anywhere in the country. Whether you need a simple membership card or a high-tech RFID smart card, our catalog has something designed specifically for your needs. We take pride in staying current with the latest card technologies so our clients always have access to the best options available.
Our wholesale plastic cards are built to last. Unlike flimsy paper alternatives, our cards are crafted from durable PVC and specialty materials that hold up to everyday handling for years. That durability means your brand keeps working for you long after the card is first handed out.
Gift Cards and Loyalty Cards
Gift cards are one of the most powerful sales tools any retail business can use. Our custom gift cards are proven to boost sales by 35-50%, and that number comes from real-world results across hundreds of businesses we have worked with. When customers give your gift card to a friend, they are essentially recruiting a new customer for you - and that is marketing gold.
Loyalty cards work in a similar way, rewarding repeat customers and encouraging them to keep coming back. We design loyalty cards that are visually attractive, durable, and easy to integrate into most point-of-sale systems. A well-run loyalty program powered by professional plastic cards can be a game-changer for your bottom line.
Membership, ID, and Credential Cards
From employee ID badges to alumni cards and union credentials, our identity and membership cards help organizations create a sense of belonging and maintain strong security standards. We print cards with sharp, full-color graphics, barcodes, magnetic stripes, and other features that make identification fast and reliable.
These cards do more than just identify people - they reinforce your organization's brand and culture every time they are used. A well-designed ID badge tells the world that your organization takes itself seriously, and we help you communicate that message with every card we produce.
Access Control and RFID Smart Cards
Security matters, and our access control cards deliver it with style and precision. We offer hotel key cards, casino player cards, and RFID smart cards featuring contactless technologies like MIFARE DESFire. These cards are used in some of the most security-conscious environments in the country, and we produce them with the highest standards of quality and accuracy.
Whether you need cards for a hotel property, a gaming facility, or a corporate campus, we have the technical expertise to deliver access control cards that work flawlessly with your existing systems. Our team can walk you through all your options to find the best fit for your security needs.
| Card Type | Best Use | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Gift Cards | Retail and Hospitality | Boosts sales 35-50% |
| Loyalty Cards | Customer Retention | Drives repeat business |
| ID Badges | Organizations and Enterprises | Security and branding |
| RFID Smart Cards | Hotels and Casinos | Contactless technology |
| Specialty Cards | Luxury Branding | Metal, clear, custom shapes |
Specialty and Luxury Card Options
Sometimes a standard card just does not say enough about your brand. That is why we offer a stunning range of specialty and luxury card options that are designed to make an unforgettable first impression. These are the cards that people notice, talk about, and keep long after a typical card would end up in the trash.
Our specialty options include clear plastic cards that reveal your design in a uniquely transparent way, custom-shaped cards that break the mold of the standard rectangle, and luxury metal cards crafted from materials like stainless steel or gold-finish metal. These are not just cards - they are statements.
Clear Plastic Cards
Clear plastic cards offer a sleek, modern aesthetic that immediately sets your brand apart from the competition. When printed with vibrant colors, the transparent background creates a striking visual effect that customers genuinely love to show off. We have seen clients use clear cards for VIP memberships, high-end retail gift programs, and exclusive club access - and the reaction is always impressive.
The durability of our clear cards matches their visual impact. They are built to handle everyday use without scratching, warping, or fading, meaning your brand continues to look sharp no matter how often the card is used. For businesses that want to project a premium image, clear plastic cards are a powerful and cost-effective choice.
Custom Shape Cards
Why settle for a rectangle when your brand deserves something more memorable? Our custom-shaped cards are die-cut to virtually any shape you can imagine - from rounded squares to brand logos to completely unique silhouettes. These cards are conversation starters, and that is exactly the kind of marketing power that helps brands grow.
Custom shapes work especially well for events, product launches, seasonal promotions, and any situation where you want to make a big splash. We handle the design and production process from start to finish, so creating a one-of-a-kind card is easier than you might think. Let your imagination lead, and we will bring it to life.
Metal and Luxury Cards
Nothing communicates prestige and exclusivity quite like a metal card. Our luxury metal cards are available in stainless steel, brushed gold, and other premium finishes that feel extraordinary in your hand. These cards are popular among financial services firms, luxury retailers, private clubs, and any brand that wants to signal that they operate at the highest level.
Metal cards are built to last a lifetime, which means your brand stays visible and relevant for years and years. The weight, finish, and precision of our metal cards consistently impress recipients and reinforce the message that your brand is serious, premium, and worthy of loyalty. If you want to offer your best customers something truly special, this is it.

We make sure you never run out of the essentials that keep your card program moving forward.
Ordering refill supplies through us is fast and simple. We ship nationwide and offer competitive pricing on bulk orders so your per-card cost stays low even as your program grows.

Accessories and Value-Added Products
We also carry a thoughtful range of accessories that complete your card program from top to bottom. Custom cardholders, sleeves, lanyards, and badge reels are just a few of the items we offer to make sure your cards are presented, stored, and used in the most professional way possible. These details matter more than most people realize.
A card presented in a branded sleeve or attached to a quality lanyard immediately elevates the perceived value of the entire package. We help our clients think through every touchpoint of the card experience, because we know that the details are often what separate a good impression from a truly unforgettable one.

How Our Wholesale Plastic Cards Grow Your Business
The business case for wholesale plastic cards is strong, and the numbers back it up. Whether you are looking to increase sales, improve customer retention, or enhance your organization's security and professionalism, the right card program delivers measurable results. We have helped businesses of every size and type achieve real, documented growth through smart card programs.
Our role goes beyond simply printing cards. We act as a strategic partner, helping you choose the right card type, design, features, and distribution method to maximize the impact of every single card we produce for you. That partnership mindset is what sets us apart from competitors who just fill orders without asking the right questions.
Proven Results Across Industries
We have worked with retailers, restaurants, hotels, healthcare organizations, schools, nonprofits, casinos, and hundreds of other types of businesses. In nearly every case, the introduction of a professional plastic card program produced a measurable improvement in customer engagement and revenue. The versatility of our card solutions means almost any business can benefit.
Retailers who launch gift card programs routinely report that gift card recipients spend more than the value of the card, driving incremental revenue with every redemption. Hospitality businesses see increased guest loyalty when they implement well-designed membership and rewards card programs. The pattern repeats across industry after industry - plastic cards work.
Building Customer Loyalty That Lasts
Loyalty is not built overnight, but a well-designed loyalty card program accelerates the process in a meaningful way. When customers carry your card in their wallet, you stay top-of-mind every time they open it. That constant, passive visibility reinforces your brand and makes it more likely that they will choose you over a competitor when the moment of decision arrives.
We design loyalty cards that are visually compelling, functionally reliable, and easy for your staff to manage. From simple punch-card style programs to sophisticated tiered rewards systems, we have the card production expertise to support whatever loyalty structure you choose. Building customer loyalty is one of the highest-return investments any business can make, and we are here to help you do it right.
Postcard Mailers That Double Response Rates
Here is something many businesses do not know: our plastic postcard mailers achieve double the response rates of traditional paper mail. That is a dramatic performance improvement that translates directly into more calls, more visits, and more revenue. We produce custom plastic postcard mailers that are durable, eye-catching, and impossible to ignore in a mailbox full of paper envelopes.
The unique feel and appearance of a plastic postcard immediately signals to the recipient that something special has arrived. They are more likely to read it, more likely to respond to it, and more likely to keep it than any paper mailer you have ever sent. If your marketing strategy includes direct mail, upgrading to plastic postcards is a no-brainer decision that pays for itself quickly.

Great design is an investment that pays dividends every time a customer sees your card.
Case Study: How a Retail Boutique Doubled Holiday Sales with Gift Cards
One of the most compelling real-world examples of plastic card power comes from a mid-sized retail boutique that partnered with us to launch a custom gift card program before the holiday season. Prior to working with us, they had relied on paper gift certificates that looked unprofessional and were easy to lose or damage. The change they experienced after switching was nothing short of remarkable.
Within the first holiday season, the boutique's gift card sales nearly doubled compared to their paper certificate totals from the previous year. Customers responded enthusiastically to the professional look and feel of the new cards, and staff reported that transactions were faster and easier with the new system. The boutique has since reordered several times and expanded their card program to include a loyalty component.
The Challenge They Faced
Before switching to plastic gift cards, the boutique was losing potential gift card sales to competitors who offered more polished, professional-looking cards. Customers shopping for gifts would sometimes choose to shop at a competitor simply because the boutique's paper certificates felt less like a premium gift. This was a painful and entirely fixable problem, and they knew it.
They also struggled with paper certificates being lost, duplicated, or damaged, creating customer service headaches and occasional financial losses. The lack of a reliable tracking system made it difficult to manage outstanding gift certificate balances, and staff spent valuable time resolving disputes that simply would not happen with a properly managed plastic card program.
The Solution We Provided
We worked closely with the boutique's owner to design a custom gift card that reflected the brand's elegant, fashion-forward aesthetic. We recommended card stock, finish options, and design elements that aligned perfectly with their existing branding, and the final product was something their customers immediately noticed and responded to with genuine enthusiasm. It looked like a card from a luxury retailer, not a small boutique - and that perception shift mattered enormously.
We also helped them select and set up a compatible card printer and ribbon supplies so they could produce additional cards in-house as needed for custom denominations. This gave them the flexibility to respond quickly to customer demand without waiting for a new print order every time. The combination of professionally printed bulk cards and in-house printing capability gave them the best of both worlds at a price that fit their budget comfortably.
The Results Speak for Themselves
By the end of the first full year with their new plastic gift card program, the boutique had seen a 100% increase in gift card revenue compared to the previous year with paper certificates. Customer feedback about the cards was overwhelmingly positive, and the boutique's staff reported that the new system had virtually eliminated the disputes and complications that had plagued the paper certificate program for years.
This boutique's story is not unique - we have seen it play out in businesses across dozens of industries and markets. The formula is simple: professional plastic cards build confidence, encourage spending, and create loyalty in ways that paper alternatives simply cannot match. If your business is still relying on paper, now is the time to make the switch and start experiencing the difference for yourself.
Plastic Card Accessories and Full-Service Mailing Solutions
We offer much more than just the cards themselves. Our complete line of card accessories and full-service mailing solutions makes us a true one-stop shop for businesses that want to present their cards in the most professional, impactful way possible. Every detail of how your card is delivered and displayed contributes to the impression it makes, and we help you get every detail right.
From custom carriers and branded sleeves to full-service card affixing and direct mail fulfillment, we handle the entire card distribution process if you need us to. This takes the burden off your team and ensures that every card reaches your customers in perfect condition, presented exactly as you intend.
Custom Card Carriers and Sleeves
A card carrier is often the first thing a customer sees when they receive your card, and it is a powerful branding opportunity that many businesses overlook. Our custom card carriers can be printed with your logo, messaging, promotional offers, and any other information you want your customers to see the moment they open the package. A well-designed carrier turns a simple card delivery into a complete brand experience.
Card sleeves are similarly effective at adding a polished, professional touch to your card presentation. Whether you are mailing cards to new customers, distributing them in-store, or including them in product packaging, a branded sleeve signals that you care about quality and details. We offer sleeves in a variety of sizes, finishes, and configurations to match any card type we produce.
Card Affixing and Direct Mail Services
Our card affixing service allows us to attach your plastic cards to custom mailers, carriers, or promotional pieces before they are mailed to your customers. This is a popular option for businesses running direct mail campaigns, new customer welcome kits, or seasonal promotions. We handle everything in-house, which means your cards are affixed precisely and consistently every single time.
Once cards are affixed, our mailing services take care of addressing, sorting, and dispatching your pieces to your mailing list. This turnkey approach saves you time, reduces errors, and ensures that your campaign launches on schedule without any last-minute scrambling. If you want to run a powerful direct mail campaign with plastic cards, we are the team to call.
