With a legacy spanning decades and over 50 million cards produced, PCID combines precision printing with a consultative approach to help brands connect physically and meaningfully with customers.

PCID's history is defined by consistent innovation and customer-first thinking, positioning the company as more than a supplier: it is a strategic collaborator. The team's experience producing specialty plastic formats like clear cards and luxury metal alternatives underscores a commitment to unmatched durability and premium finish options that keep brands memorable in the hands of consumers.

Members of our production and design teams combine technical mastery with marketing insight, ensuring every project-whether a simple postcard mailer or a secure access card-reflects the brand's voice and business goals. This synergy creates assets that are both functional and conversational in the marketplace.

Plastic Postcard Mailers from PCID thrive because they merge tactile appeal with durability, delivering messages that arrive intact and demand attention. Unlike paper, a plastic postcard resists damage, retains vivid print quality over time, and projects a level of professionalism that customers associate with measurable ROI and trustworthiness.

Marketers consistently see improved redemption and engagement when mailers are crafted with premium materials and smart calls-to-action. When the mailpiece feels valuable, recipients are far more likely to act, share, or retain the item for future purchases-making the mailer a long-term brand ambassador.
