Designing custom-shaped plastic cards requires coordination between creative concept, tooling, and production. Plastic Card ID offers design consultation to ensure shapes remain practical for wallets or display placements while delivering the unique impact clients seek from shaped formats.

Manufacturing leverages precise die-cutting, reinforced edges, and premium printing to retain card integrity. The process balances aesthetics and function so the final card is both visually striking and durable under real-world use.

Our design consultations are collaborative, focusing on brand objectives, target audience, and distribution methods. Designers advise on size, cut lines, artwork safe zones, and substrate selection to avoid production pitfalls and to preserve strong visual identity in the finished product.

When required, we provide mockups and prototypes to validate appearance and handling, reducing the risk of redesigns while ensuring final runs meet expectations and deliver the intended impact.

Material choices range from standard PVC to high-end metal and specialty substrates. Finishes such as matte lamination, high-gloss varnish, and spot UV highlight branding while protective overlays extend card life in frequent-use scenarios.
