One retail client transitioned from paper certificates to printed Magnetic Stripe Cards and saw measurable gains in both sales and repeat visits. By pairing durable cards with targeted promotions, the brand experienced an uplift in average transaction value and customer lifetime value.

This case underscores a recurring theme: professional plastic cards are not merely aesthetic upgrades; they function as powerful sales tools that convert casual shoppers into loyal customers while simplifying tracking and redemption processes.

Specialty cards like clear plastic, unique shapes, and metal options offer a premium touchpoint for brands seeking to stand out. These items are crafted with precision and can be combined with Magnetic Stripe Cards or RFID elements for hybrid functionality without sacrificing looks.

Alongside specialty finishes, our fulfillment services ensure that packaging, mailing, and point-of-sale readiness are handled professionally. This full-service capability removes logistical friction and allows marketing teams to focus on what matters most: engagement and conversion.

Specialty materials such as stainless steel or gold-plated finishes deliver a memorable tactile experience that signals prestige. These cards are ideal for VIP programs, awards, or high-end promotions where the physical object must convey exceptional value.

Design and engineering teams collaborate with clients to maintain balance between aesthetic aspirations and functional requirements like Magnetic Stripe compatibility and durability under daily use.

We streamline delivery by offering sleeves, carriers, and direct mail services so each card arrives presentation-ready. Those services are especially useful for large membership or gift card campaigns where timing and first impressions matter.

From kitting to automated fulfillment, our solutions reduce internal workload and create a consistent customer experience with every unboxing - a small detail that yields big return in campaign performance.
