Security and technology are core strengths at Plastic Card ID. Our cards support a wide array of encoding standards, from magnetic stripes and barcodes to advanced RFID chips like MIFARE DESFire.

We consult on encryption options, compatibility testing, and secure production workflows that protect sensitive encoding operations. By integrating robust technology with reliable manufacturing, we help organizations preserve security without sacrificing user convenience.

Encoding is handled with precision and documentation to ensure cards work with existing access control systems. Plastic Card ID performs sample runs and compatibility checks, helping clients avoid integration issues and ensuring consistent performance in the field.
