Plastic Card Mailers bridge the strengths of direct mail with the high-value touch of a plastic card inside. PCID's mailer programs are designed to increase open rates and redemption through strategic mail formats, targeted messaging, and precision card placement that ensures the card is visible and protected during transit.

Integration with CRM and mailing lists allows personalized mailers that drive higher response. When paired with the right creative and mailing format, Plastic Card Mailers can transform a standard campaign into a high-performing channel that drives engagement and measurable ROI.

Design is an often-overlooked driver of mail performance; PCID helps clients craft mailer layouts that highlight the card and call-to-action clearly. Thoughtful use of imagery, copy, and die-cut windows ensures recipients notice the card immediately and understand the next steps to redeem or activate.

Our designers recommend concise messaging, visible value propositions, and clear activation instructions. These elements combine to produce mailers that convert at higher rates and deliver a proven ROI for promotional budgets.

PCID operates full-service affixing and mailing operations that reduce client burden and speed campaign delivery. Services include card affixing, custom packaging, variable data printing, and full postal sorting for cost savings-delivered as turnkey fulfillment so marketers can focus on strategy rather than logistics.

Choose from single-piece insertions, multi-card sets, or protective sleeves. Each program is built to maintain card integrity during transit and to enhance the recipient's unboxing experience for greater redemption and customer satisfaction.

Successful mail campaigns depend on postal intelligence and tracking. PCID collaborates with mailing partners to optimize postage classes, reduce costs, and provide tracking data that feeds back into campaign analytics.
