Security & Access Control
Security and access control solutions at Plastic Card ID are built to protect facilities while providing a streamlined user experience for authorized personnel. Customizable technology stacks include contactless smart cards, magnetic stripes, and barcode systems for both low- and high-security environments.
These options are supported by rigorous testing and integration practices that prioritize compatibility with popular access control systems, ensuring end-users can adopt new credentials with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Smart Cards and RFID
Contactless smart cards, including MIFARE DESFire, are available for robust, scalable access environments. Such cards provide secure, encrypted transactions and are suitable for campus-wide deployment where both security and convenience are critical.
The team supports card programming and lifecycle management, enabling secure issuance, revocation, and replacement processes that maintain system integrity over time and reduce administrative risk.
Physical Security Enhancements
To deter tampering and counterfeiting, Plastic Card ID offers overt and covert security features like holograms, custom microtext, and those that are machine-readable for verification purposes. These enhancements raise the bar for fraudulent reproduction while remaining user-friendly for legitimate badge holders.
Combining visible branding with technical security layers creates credentials that communicate authority and trust, supporting institutional identity and operational control across facilities.
Integration and Support
Implementation includes compatibility testing with existing readers and back-end systems, on-site support options, and documentation to guide IT and security teams through rollout phases. This practical attention to integration ensures solutions deliver on both security and usability goals.
For technical consultations or integration planning, reach out to an access control specialist at 800.835.7919 who can discuss custom specifications and long-term maintenance strategies to protect your investment.

Quality Assurance Processes
Every order undergoes detailed inspection protocols that verify print fidelity, encoding accuracy, and physical durability. These checks help prevent downstream issues and ensure clients receive products that meet both aesthetic and functional specifications.
