They swipe, they store data, and they create a real, physical connection between your brand and your customer. At Plastic Card ID, we have spent over 25 years helping businesses just like yours make that connection count.

We ship plastic cards, card printers, and all the refill supplies you need directly to your door, anywhere in the country.

And when it comes to magnetic stripe cards specifically, we know this product inside and out. Let us show you why so many businesses keep coming back to us year after year.

What Makes Magnetic Stripe Cards So Powerful

Magnetic stripe cards carry encoded data on a thin band of magnetic material attached to the back of the card. When swiped through a reader, that data is instantly transferred to your system. This simple technology has proven itself reliable across decades of real-world use in countless industries and applications.

The swipe interaction is fast, familiar, and trusted by customers everywhere. There is no app to download, no battery to charge, and no learning curve for your staff. Magnetic stripe cards just work, and that reliability is something both businesses and their customers genuinely appreciate every single day.

We offer magnetic stripe cards in multiple encoding formats to match the systems you already use. Whether you need single-track, dual-track, or triple-track encoding, we have the technical know-how to get it right. Our attention to detail at every step ensures your cards perform flawlessly from the very first swipe.

Industries That Rely on Magnetic Stripe Technology

Magnetic stripe cards are used across a surprisingly wide range of industries. Retailers use them for gift cards and loyalty rewards. Hotels use them as room keys that can be quickly reprogrammed between guests. Casinos rely on them for player tracking cards that log visits, points, and rewards in real time.

Gyms and fitness centers issue magnetic stripe membership cards that grant access to facilities and track attendance over time. Schools and universities use them for student ID cards tied to meal plans, library access, and on-campus purchases. The versatility of this technology is one of the biggest reasons it has remained so popular for so long.

No matter what industry you operate in, there is a very good chance that a well-designed magnetic stripe card could improve how you serve your customers and manage your operations. We would love to help you explore the right solution for your specific needs. Reach out to us today at 800-835-7919 and let us get started.

How We Make Ordering Easy for Every Business

We understand that ordering custom plastic cards can feel overwhelming if you have never done it before. That is exactly why we have built our process to be as clear and straightforward as possible. From the first conversation to the moment your order arrives at your door, we walk with you every step of the way.

Our national shipping means that no matter where your business is located, we can reach you quickly and reliably. We work with businesses of all sizes, from solo entrepreneurs launching their first loyalty program to large organizations managing thousands of employee credentials. Every customer gets the same attentive, expert service.

The Science Behind the Swipe: Understanding Magnetic Stripe Card Encoding

The Science Behind the Swipe: Understanding Magnetic Stripe Card Encoding
Magnetic Stripe Track Overview
Track Data Capacity Common Use
Track 1 79 alphanumeric characters Name, account number, discretionary data
Track 2 40 numeric characters Account number, expiration, service code
Track 3 107 numeric characters Additional data, loyalty point balances

Not all magnetic stripe cards are created equal. The encoding standard you choose directly affects how much data your card can carry and how it will interact with your card readers and software. Understanding the differences between tracks can help you make a smarter decision when designing your card program.

We take the guesswork out of this process entirely. Our team reviews your system requirements and recommends the exact encoding configuration that will work best for your setup. You do not need to be a tech expert to get this right because that is our job, and we genuinely enjoy doing it well.

Getting the encoding right the first time saves you time, money, and frustration down the road. A card that does not swipe correctly is a card that annoys your customer and reflects poorly on your brand. We are committed to making sure every single card we produce performs exactly as it should.

Hi-Co vs. Lo-Co: Choosing the Right Magnetic Stripe

Magnetic stripe cards come in two main varieties based on the strength of their magnetic field: high coercivity, known as Hi-Co, and low coercivity, known as Lo-Co. Hi-Co cards are more resistant to accidental erasure and are typically used in applications where the card will be used many times over a long period.

Lo-Co cards are less expensive to produce and work well in short-term applications where the card will not be exposed to strong magnets or heavy daily use. Hotel key cards, for example, are often Lo-Co because they are reprogrammed frequently and used for short stays. Gift cards and loyalty cards, on the other hand, benefit from the durability of Hi-Co encoding.

We carry both options and can help you decide which is the smarter choice for your specific program. Our goal is always to match you with the product that delivers the best performance at the best value, because your success is what keeps us motivated to do our very best work every day.

Custom Encoding and Sequential Numbering Options

One of the most valuable features we offer is custom encoding, where we program specific data directly onto each card before it ships to you. This means your cards arrive ready to use right out of the box, saving your team significant setup time and reducing the chance of encoding errors in the field.

Sequential numbering is another popular option, especially for businesses that need to track individual cards across a loyalty or membership program. Each card receives a unique number encoded on the magnetic stripe and, if desired, printed visibly on the card surface as well. This makes card management clean, organized, and professional from day one.

Pairing Cards with the Right Card Readers

A great magnetic stripe card is only as useful as the reader it works with. We carry a solid selection of card readers and point-of-sale compatible devices that pair perfectly with the cards we produce. This means you get a complete, tested solution rather than a card that may or may not work with hardware you sourced elsewhere.

Our team can advise you on which readers are best suited to your environment, whether that is a busy retail counter, a gym front desk, or an access control door panel. We think about the full picture because that is what it takes to build a card program that truly works well for your business and your customers alike.

Gift Cards That Drive Real Revenue for Your Business

Few tools in retail are as quietly powerful as a well-designed gift card. Studies consistently show that businesses switching from paper gift certificates to professional plastic gift cards can see sales increases of up to 100%. That is not a small improvement. That is a transformation in how customers interact with your brand and spend their money.

Gift cards work because they create new customers. When someone receives your gift card, they visit your business for the first time, often spending more than the card's value. They discover your products and your service, and many of them come back again on their own. A single gift card can create a customer relationship that lasts for years.

We print gift cards with vibrant, full-color designs that reflect your brand identity with style and confidence. Magnetic stripe encoding on the back keeps the program running smoothly with point-of-sale systems. We handle everything from design to encoding to nationwide shipping so you can focus on your customers, not your card logistics.

Why Plastic Gift Cards Outperform Paper Certificates Every Time

Paper gift certificates get crumpled, lost, and damaged. They look cheap, and customers know it. A professionally printed plastic gift card, on the other hand, carries a sense of value and permanence that paper simply cannot match. It sits in a wallet alongside credit cards, serving as a constant, quiet reminder of your business every single day.

Plastic cards also offer significantly better fraud protection than paper certificates. Magnetic stripe encoding means each card has a unique, traceable value that cannot be easily duplicated or altered. This protects your revenue and gives your customers confidence that the gift they are giving is secure and reliable.

The numbers do not lie. Businesses that invest in professional plastic gift cards consistently report stronger sales, higher average transaction values, and more repeat visits. We have helped thousands of businesses make this upgrade, and the results speak for themselves in real dollars and loyal, happy customers.

Seasonal and Promotional Gift Card Campaigns

Gift cards are not just for the holiday season, although that is certainly when they shine brightest. We help businesses design seasonal card campaigns for back-to-school, summer promotions, Valentine's Day, and any other occasion that gives customers a reason to share their love for your brand with the people in their lives.

Promotional gift cards with a specific bonus value, such as a free $10 card with every $50 purchase, are another proven tactic for driving sales during slow periods. These campaigns create urgency, reward loyal customers, and bring in new faces who might never have visited otherwise. We can help you plan and execute these campaigns from start to finish.

Our team loves brainstorming creative card programs with our clients. We bring experience from working with businesses across dozens of industries, and we use that knowledge to help you design campaigns that connect with your customers in a genuine, memorable way that keeps them coming back.

Custom Card Carriers and Packaging That Impress

A beautiful gift card deserves beautiful packaging. We offer custom card carriers, sleeves, and folders that turn your gift card into a complete, polished presentation. This level of detail signals to your customers that your business cares about quality at every touchpoint, not just the product or service you are selling.

Card carriers can be customized with your logo, brand colors, messaging, and promotional information. They are perfect for packaging gift cards for display at your point of sale, for mailing directly to customers, or for including in gift bags and boxes. The packaging becomes part of the brand experience, and that experience is what people remember and talk about.

Loyalty Cards: Building Repeat Business One Swipe at a Time

Loyalty Cards: Building Repeat Business One Swipe at a TimeCustomer loyalty is not something that happens by accident. It is something that businesses build deliberately, through consistent good service, genuine appreciation, and smart programs that reward customers for coming back. A well-designed loyalty card program is one of the most effective tools available for creating that habit of return.

Loyalty cards work by giving customers a reason to choose your business over a competitor, even when the difference between the two seems small. The promise of a free coffee, a discount, or a special reward after a certain number of visits is a powerful motivator. Magnetic stripe loyalty cards make tracking these rewards fast and accurate at the point of sale.

Designing a Loyalty Program That Customers Actually Use

The biggest mistake businesses make with loyalty programs is making them too complicated. If customers cannot easily understand how to earn and redeem rewards, they will not bother participating. We recommend keeping your program simple, transparent, and genuinely rewarding from the very first visit so that customers feel the value immediately.

We work with our clients to think through the full customer experience, from how the card is introduced at the register to how rewards are communicated and redeemed over time. A thoughtfully designed program creates positive emotional associations with your brand that paper punch cards or digital apps simply cannot replicate with the same reliability and tangibility.

When a customer pulls out a physical loyalty card, they are making a small but meaningful commitment to your business. That card in their wallet is a daily reminder of their relationship with you. We help you design and produce cards that customers are proud to carry, because a card that looks great is a card that gets used.

Membership Cards That Create a Sense of Belonging

Membership cards are about more than access. They are about identity and belonging. When someone carries your membership card, they are telling the world, and reminding themselves, that they are part of something they value. That emotional connection is what separates a transactional relationship from a truly loyal one.

We produce membership cards for gyms, clubs, associations, alumni organizations, and professional groups of all sizes. Each card is custom printed with your branding and can include magnetic stripe encoding for system integration, photo ID options, and any other feature your membership program requires. We make sure every card feels worthy of the membership it represents.

ID Badges and Access Cards for Security and Professionalism

In environments where security and accountability matter, a professionally produced ID badge is not optional. It is essential. Whether you manage a corporate office, a school campus, a healthcare facility, or an industrial site, clear and credible identification protects your people, your assets, and your reputation.

We produce ID cards and access badges that combine strong visual design with reliable magnetic stripe functionality. Employees and authorized visitors can be quickly identified, and access to sensitive areas can be controlled through integrated card reader systems. Our cards are built to withstand the demands of daily professional use without fading or failing.

Employee ID Cards That Reflect Your Brand

An employee ID card is often the first thing a visitor or customer notices about your staff. A well-designed card with a clean logo, clear name and title, and a professional photo instantly communicates that your organization takes quality seriously. It builds trust before a single word is spoken, and that first impression matters more than most people realize.

We print employee ID cards with crisp, full-color graphics and laminated surfaces that hold up beautifully over months and years of daily wear. Magnetic stripe encoding allows the same card to serve as both an identification credential and an access control key, reducing the number of cards employees need to carry while improving the security of your facility.

Our turnaround times are fast, and our national shipping ensures that whether your business is in a major city or a rural area, you receive your cards promptly and in perfect condition. We know that your team cannot start without their credentials, and we take that responsibility seriously every time we process an ID card order.

Visitor and Contractor Badges for Temporary Access

Managing temporary access is one of the trickier challenges for any security program. Visitor and contractor badges need to be professional enough to be taken seriously, functional enough to work with your access control system, and easy enough to manage that your front desk staff can handle them efficiently during busy periods.

We offer temporary badge solutions that can be encoded with expiring access credentials, ensuring that visitors and contractors can only enter the areas they are authorized to access during the times they are approved to be there. This kind of precision control is a critical layer of security for any organization that takes its responsibilities seriously.

Union and Alumni Cards That Honor Membership

Union membership cards and alumni credentials carry a sense of pride and tradition that demands quality materials. A flimsy card communicates the wrong message about an organization that members have given years of loyalty and service to. We produce cards that match the dignity and significance of the membership they represent.

Our union and alumni cards are custom designed to reflect the unique identity of each organization, with options for color printing, sequential numbering, photo ID integration, and magnetic stripe encoding for any system connectivity your program requires. We are honored to help organizations recognize and celebrate the people who make them great.

Card Printers and Supplies Shipped Nationwide to Your Door

Card Printers and Supplies Shipped Nationwide to Your DoorHaving the right card printer on site gives your business incredible flexibility. You can print cards on demand, update credentials instantly, and manage your card program without waiting for outside print runs. We carry a strong selection of card printers suited to businesses of all sizes and printing needs, all available for nationwide shipping directly to you.

Beyond the printers themselves, we stock all the supplies you need to keep your operation running smoothly. From color ribbon cartridges to blank card stock and cleaning kits, we are your one-stop shop for everything in your card printing program. Restocking is easy, and our team is always available to help you find exactly the right supplies for your specific printer model.

Choosing the Right Card Printer for Your Business

Selecting a card printer is a meaningful investment, and we want to make sure you choose one that truly fits your needs. The right printer depends on how many cards you print per year, whether you need single-sided or double-sided printing, and what additional features like lamination or encoding your program requires.

  • Entry-level desktop printers for small businesses printing under 500 cards per year
  • Mid-range printers with dual-sided printing and lamination for medium-sized organizations
  • High-volume printers for large enterprises needing fast, automated card production
  • Direct-to-card printers for clean, simple credential printing
  • Retransfer printers for edge-to-edge printing and superior image quality

Our team can walk you through the pros and cons of each category based on your specific situation. We have no interest in selling you more printer than you need, or less. Our goal is to set you up with the right tool for your operation so that you are confident and satisfied every time you sit down to print a card.

Ribbons, Blank Cards, and Cleaning Supplies

A card printer is only as good as the supplies you run through it. Using the correct ribbon for your printer model is essential for producing crisp, vibrant cards that look professional and scan reliably. We stock ribbons from leading manufacturers in full-color YMCKO, monochrome, and specialty panel configurations to match a wide range of printing needs.

Blank card stock comes in standard CR80 size, which is the same size as a standard credit card, as well as other formats for specialized applications. We carry Hi-Co and Lo-Co magnetic stripe blank cards, along with plain white cards, frosted cards, and other specialty substrates for different printing and application requirements.

Cleaning kits are often overlooked but are critically important for maintaining your printer and extending its working life. Regular cleaning prevents card jams, print head damage, and image quality issues that can result in wasted cards and costly repairs. We make it easy to keep your printer in peak condition with affordable cleaning supplies shipped right to your location.

Printer Accessories That Complete Your Setup

Beyond ribbons and blank cards, a complete card printing setup often includes accessories like card hoppers, output trays, laminators, and encoding modules. We carry a curated selection of accessories that are compatible with the printers we sell, so you can build out your setup with confidence that everything will work together seamlessly.

Whether you are setting up a brand new card printing station or expanding an existing one, we have the products and the expertise to help you put together a setup that performs well day after day. Call us at 800-835-7919 and we will help you figure out exactly what you need to get started or upgrade your current system.

Specialty Cards That Make an Unforgettable First Impression

Sometimes a standard plastic card is not quite enough. For businesses that want to make a truly bold statement, we offer specialty card options that turn a simple card exchange into a genuine wow moment. These are the cards that people do not throw away, because they are simply too impressive to discard.

From cards shaped to match your logo to transparent clear plastic that shows off a striking design, our specialty options give creative businesses a way to stand out in a wallet full of ordinary rectangles. We bring the same precision and quality to these products that we apply to every card we produce, because impressive design means nothing without reliable performance.

Clear Plastic Cards for a Modern, Sleek Look

Clear plastic cards have a visual impact that is hard to describe until you hold one in your hand. The transparency creates a sense of sophistication and modernity that communicates a forward-thinking brand identity without saying a single word. These cards are popular in the beauty, fashion, hospitality, and technology industries for exactly this reason.

We produce clear cards with options for frosted areas, spot color printing, and magnetic stripe encoding so that your card is not just beautiful but fully functional within your existing card program infrastructure. The combination of striking aesthetics and reliable performance is what makes clear cards such a compelling choice for brands that take design seriously.

Stand out from the crowd - call us now at 800-835-7919 to explore our specialty card options and get a quote today.

Custom Shape Cards That Break the Rectangle Mold

Who says a card has to be a rectangle? Custom die-cut cards in shapes that reflect your brand, such as a key shape for a locksmith, a house silhouette for a real estate agent, or a leaf shape for a garden center, create an immediate visual association that makes your brand impossible to forget. The shape itself becomes part of your marketing message.

Custom shape cards are particularly effective as promotional tools, trade show giveaways, and VIP membership credentials. They generate conversation, photograph well for social media, and carry a perceived value that far exceeds their actual production cost. We handle the die-cutting and custom printing in house, ensuring clean edges and precise shapes every time.

Metal and Luxury Cards for Premium Brand Positioning

For businesses targeting a high-end clientele, nothing communicates exclusivity quite like a metal card. Crafted from materials like stainless steel, brushed gold, or matte black metal, these cards have a weight and feel that instantly sets them apart from anything else in a wallet. They are statement pieces that speak to quality, exclusivity, and ambition.

Metal cards are popular among luxury hotels, private clubs, high-end retailers, and financial services firms that want their top-tier clients to feel genuinely special. We offer metal cards in a variety of finishes and configurations, with custom engraving and magnetic stripe options available to make each card as functional as it is impressive. These are not just cards. They are brand experiences.

Postcard Mailers and Direct Mail Solutions That Get Noticed

In a world flooded with emails and digital ads, a physical piece of mail can cut through the noise in a way that digital messages simply cannot. Our plastic postcard mailers are proven to achieve double the response rates of traditional paper direct mail, making them one of the most cost-effective marketing tools available to businesses today.

Postcard Mailers and Direct Mail Solutions That Get Noticed

A plastic postcard is durable, eye-catching, and tactile in a way that paper never is. Recipients tend to hold on to them longer, handle them more carefully, and act on them more frequently. Whether you are promoting a grand opening, a seasonal sale, or a loyalty program launch, a plastic postcard mailer makes a statement that gets results.

Why Plastic Mailers Outperform Traditional Paper Direct Mail

Paper mailers have a high throw-away rate. They arrive in the mailbox alongside dozens of other envelopes, get sorted quickly, and often land directly in the recycling bin without being fully read. Plastic postcard mailers are different. Their weight, rigidity, and visual clarity make recipients stop and take a second look before deciding what to do with them.

The physical quality of a plastic mailer also communicates something important about your brand. It tells the recipient that your business is established, professional, and serious enough to invest in high-quality marketing materials. That credibility signal can be the difference between a new customer calling to find out more and a missed opportunity landing in the trash.

We can customize your plastic postcard mailers with full-color printing on both sides, your contact information, a special offer, and even a tear-off card or magnetic stripe element that gives recipients a reason to bring the card into your location. This kind of integrated marketing approach is what separates good campaigns from truly great ones.

Affixing and Mailing Services for a Complete Campaign

We do not just print your cards. We can affix them to mailers and manage the mailing process on your behalf, turning a complex multi-step marketing project into a single, streamlined service that you can order and forget about while we handle all the details. This saves your team significant time and ensures a consistent, professional result every time.

Our affixing and mailing services are popular with businesses that want to launch loyalty card campaigns, gift card promotions, or membership drives through direct mail without building an in-house production operation. We bring the scale, equipment, and expertise to do this efficiently and cost-effectively, so you get a premium campaign at a price that makes business sense.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Card Products and Services

We hear great questions from our customers every day, and we believe that an informed customer makes the best decisions for their business. Below are some of the most common questions we receive, along with straightforward answers that we hope you will find genuinely helpful as you explore the right card solution for your needs.

If your question is not answered here, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team directly. We are always happy to talk through the specifics of your situation and help you find the perfect solution. No question is too small, and no project is too complex for us to tackle together with you.

How Many Cards Should I Order for My First Run

This is one of the most common questions we receive from new customers, and the honest answer is that it depends on the size of your program and your budget. For a small loyalty program or introductory gift card campaign, starting with 250-500 cards is often a practical choice that lets you test the program before committing to a larger quantity.

Larger businesses or those launching a program across multiple locations often find it more economical to order in quantities of 1,000 or more, where the per-card cost drops significantly. We are happy to walk you through the pricing tiers and help you find the quantity that gives you the best balance of value and flexibility for your specific situation.

Keep in mind that cards ordered in bulk also ensure consistency across your entire program. Every card in a single print run will have identical color matching, encoding standards, and print quality, which matters a great deal for professional brand presentation. We can help you plan ahead so that your reorders match your original run seamlessly.

What Is the Typical Turnaround Time for a Custom Order

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of your order, the quantity, and the time of year. For standard custom printed cards without specialty features, most orders are produced and shipped within five to ten business days after artwork is approved. Rush options may be available for time-sensitive projects, so it is always worth asking.

We recommend building in adequate lead time, especially for promotional campaigns tied to specific dates or seasons. Placing your order three to four weeks in advance of your planned launch date gives us plenty of time to produce your cards to the highest standard without rushing any step of the process. Quality always comes first in our production workflow.

Can I See a Proof Before My Cards Are Printed

Absolutely, and we strongly encourage it. Before any card goes to print, we provide a digital proof for your review and approval. This is your opportunity to check the layout, colors, text, and any other design elements to make sure everything looks exactly the way you envisioned it. We do not proceed without your sign-off.

Our design team is also available to help if you do not have a ready-to-use artwork file. We can work with your logo, brand guidelines, and design ideas to create a card that looks professional and polished. We want your cards to be something you are proud to hand out, and the proofing process is a key part of making sure that happens every time.

Case Studies: Real Businesses Winning With Plastic Cards

Case Studies: Real Businesses Winning With Plastic CardsThe best way to understand what plastic cards can do for a business is to look at what they have already done for others. Over the years, we have worked with thousands of businesses across dozens of industries, and the results consistently reinforce one central truth: a well-designed plastic card program delivers measurable, real-world value.

The following case studies are representative of the kinds of outcomes our customers experience when they commit to a quality card program and execute it with consistency and creativity. We share these stories not to boast, but to inspire you to think about what a card program could do for your own business.

A Boutique Retailer Doubles Gift Card Revenue in One Season

A small clothing boutique had been using handwritten paper gift certificates for years. Sales were decent, but the certificates looked unprofessional, were easy to forge, and frequently got lost or damaged before they were redeemed. The owner decided to make the switch to professionally printed plastic gift cards with magnetic stripe encoding and a custom-designed card that matched her store's brand perfectly.

Within the first holiday season, gift card sales doubled. Customers who had never considered giving a gift certificate before were now buying them eagerly because the card looked and felt like a real gift, not an afterthought. The owner also noticed that customers redeeming the cards were spending an average of 30% more than the card's value, boosting overall revenue significantly.

This is the kind of transformation that we love being part of. A simple upgrade in materials and presentation created a ripple effect of positive results that went far beyond what the owner initially expected. If you are still using paper certificates in your business, this story should give you something meaningful to think about today.

A Regional Gym Chain Builds Member Loyalty Through Cards

A regional gym with five locations was struggling with member retention. People would join, work out for a few months, and then quietly let their memberships lapse without ever formally canceling. The management team wanted to create a stronger sense of community and belonging that would keep members engaged and committed to their fitness goals over the long term.

We helped them design a premium membership card with their logo, member tier levels, and magnetic stripe encoding tied to their access control and check-in system. Members received their cards with a welcome packet and a brief explanation of how the card unlocked additional perks at each location. The physical card became a symbol of membership that members were proud to carry.

Retention rates improved meaningfully within the first year, and the gym reported a noticeable increase in the number of members who upgraded their membership tier when renewal time came around. The card program did not just reduce churn. It actively encouraged members to invest more deeply in their relationship with the gym and with their own health goals.

A Hotel Group Upgrades Its Key Card Experience

A mid-size hotel group with properties in three states had been using generic, unbranded key cards for years. The cards worked fine as hotel room keys, but they were a missed branding opportunity. Every guest was carrying a card with no logo, no messaging, and no connection to the hotel's identity for the entire duration of their stay.

We redesigned their key cards with full-color printing on both sides, featuring the hotel group's logo, a welcome message, and a subtle promotional reminder about their loyalty rewards program. The Lo-Co magnetic stripe encoding was retained for seamless compatibility with their existing door lock system, so there was no technical disruption to the upgrade at all.

Guest feedback on the new cards was immediately and overwhelmingly positive. Staff reported that guests frequently commented on how professional and welcoming the cards felt. More importantly, enrollment in the hotel's loyalty rewards program increased by a measurable percentage in the months following the card rollout, demonstrating that a simple design upgrade can have real business impact.
