Before any card goes to print, a thoughtful design process takes place. Our team consults with you to capture the essence of your brand and ensure that the card's design is both functional and attractive. We blend aesthetics with utility, considering factors like color schemes, logo placement, and text readability. The result? A card that not only looks great but serves its purpose flawlessly.

Here's how we ensure the design is picture-perfect:

  • Thorough consultation to understand your vision and requirements
  • Creative brainstorming sessions to explore various design pathways
  • Utilizing professional design software for precision and versatility
  • Mock-ups and revisions until the design meets your full satisfaction

Printing cards is an art form, requiring precise technology to render sharp graphics and text. We use state-of-the-art printers that handle each card with care, ensuring vibrant colors and clean lines. The printers are calibrated for consistency, guaranteeing that each card in your batch is identical, leaving no room for errors or quality discrepancies.

Our technologically advanced printers feature:

  • High-resolution printing for crisp imagery and legible text
  • Advanced color matching systems for accurate brand representation
  • Speedy printing capabilities to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality

A plastic card isn't just about good looks-it has to withstand daily handling. That's why we select premium materials that ensure longevity and resilience. Cards are crafted from sturdy PVC or composite materials, designed to endure everyday wear and tear without fading or cracking.

Beyond the material, protective coatings add another level of durability:

  • UV-resistant layers to prevent color fading
  • Lamination for a smooth, professional finish and extra strength
  • Options for waterproof and tear-proof cards to suit specific needs

PCID doesn't just print cards-we're passionate about delivering a product that speaks volumes about your professionalism. Every card sprinting out of our printers is a canvas where technology meets creativity. We ensure each piece is not only a form of identification but a work of art that commands attention.

There are no one-size-fits-all solutions here; your input drives our customization process to produce cards that are unique to your organization. Ready to get started?

Security is a top priority for many organizations, and our cards are built to reflect that. Adding custom security features is not just about making your card look sophisticated-it's about protecting your interests. From holograms to microtext, we layer multiple security measures to prevent counterfeit and fraud.

Some of the advanced security options we offer include:

  • Embedded holographic images that are difficult to replicate
  • Microtext printing that requires magnification to read, deterring tampering
  • RFID chips for secure access control and data storage

Personalization is where your cards truly start to shine. With our advanced printing technology, we can customize each card to feature individual names, photos, barcodes, and more. This personal touch doesn't just add a layer of security-it makes each cardholder feel valued and unique.

Our personalization process is as simple as it is sophisticated:

  • Seamless integration of your database for accurate information on every card
  • On-the-fly printing that allows for individual customization without slowing down production
  • Quality checks to ensure that the personalization is flawless on every card
