Product Excellence: RFID Plastic Cards
RFID Plastic Cards are at the core of modern access and loyalty systems, blending secure contactless technology with durable form factors. PCID engineers each card to perform reliably in demanding environments, pairing chip selection like MIFARE DESFire with robust printing to ensure longevity and consistent scanning behavior.
Whether you need secure hotel key cards, employee badges, or loyalty cards that speed transactions at checkout, our RFID offerings are designed to be both functional and brand-centric. We focus on delivering precise antenna placement and protective overlays that preserve data and appearance over thousands of uses.
Technology Choices and Integration
Choosing the right RFID type is essential: PCID supports multiple frequencies and secure chip options to match your system's reader architecture, security needs, and lifecycle expectations. Our technical teams consult on chip selection and encoding to ensure seamless integration with existing access control or POS systems.
Real-world compatibility is validated via reader testing and pilot batches, reducing deployment risk and smoothing rollouts for national or multi-site programs. We also assist with data encoding, key management recommendations, and on-site testing support where required.
Design, Durability, and Branding
Cards must both work and convey your brand's promise. PCID combines high-resolution printing, specialty finishes, and durable overlays to create RFID plastic cards that are as attractive as they are resilient. The result is a card that customers are proud to hold and staff rely on for daily operations.
Custom shapes, laminated finishes, and specialty materials like clear or metal accents make a strong visual statement while standard PVC options deliver cost-effective durability. Our design team provides proofs and physical samples to ensure alignment with brand standards.
Benefits and Use Cases
RFID plastic cards unlock efficiencies across hospitality, retail, healthcare, and corporate settings. They accelerate check-ins, enable frictionless loyalty points redemption, and enhance security with contactless access control. Each deployment is planned for maximum uptime and minimal user friction.
Common benefits include improved throughput at entrances, higher customer retention through branded loyalty, and reduced fraud with secure encoding. For fast project kickoff, contact our implementation team at 800.835.7919 to schedule a technical review and quote.

We support secure printing methods, variable data personalization, and tamper-evident features so that cards represent both identity and authority within your ecosystem. Our service includes validation steps to reduce risks during manufacturing and personalization.
Encryption, Encoding, and Best Practices
Security is not one-size-fits-all, so PCID evaluates risk profiles and recommends chips and encryption methods that align with your environment. Whether implementing contactless access or multi-factor identification, we prioritize proven standards and industry best practices to maintain integrity.
Secure encoding workflows and controlled key handling are part of our service model, ensuring data is written and tested in secure facilities with traceability and quality control built in for every batch.
