PVC Card

Custom PVC Card Printing in Singapore

Need durable, professional cards that last? Our custom PVC cards are printed on rigid plastic — the same credit card-sized format and material you’re used to carrying in your wallet. Unlike paper business cards that bend, tear, and wear out, PVC cards are waterproof, scratch-resistant, and built for daily use, making them the standard choice for employee ID cards, membership cards, loyalty cards, and access passes.

Printed in full colour at standard 86 × 54mm (credit card size), with options for single or double-sided printing, premium spot UV finishing, raised ink texture, and even NFC-enabled smart cards for contactless digital interactions.

Card Types

White PVC Card The standard option — a rigid white plastic card printed in full colour CMYK. This is the same material used for bank cards, transit cards, and retail loyalty cards. Durable, water-resistant, and fits perfectly in standard card holders and wallets.

NFC Tappable Card A PVC card with an embedded NFC (Near Field Communication) chip. When someone taps the card with their smartphone, it can trigger an action — opening a website, downloading a contact card, launching a loyalty programme, linking to a portfolio, or connecting to a Wi-Fi network. No app required on the recipient’s end.

NFC cards are increasingly popular in Singapore for:

• Digital business cards — tap to share your contact details, LinkedIn profile, or company website instantly, without needing a paper card
• Loyalty programmes — customers tap the card to check in, earn points, or redeem rewards
• Smart marketing — event badges or membership cards that link to exclusive content, surveys, or registration pages
• Access & authentication — office door access, gym entry, co-working space passes

Finishing Options

Elevate your PVC cards beyond a standard flat print with premium finishing:

• Standard CMYK — clean, full-colour print on both sides. Professional and cost-effective for most applications.

• Spot UV — a glossy, raised clear coat applied to specific areas of your design (e.g., your logo, company name, or a graphic element). The contrast between matte and gloss creates a high-end, tactile finish that catches light and invites touch.

• Raised Ink (3D Texture) + Spot UV — takes it a step further with physically raised ink that you can feel with your fingertips, combined with spot UV gloss. This creates a truly premium card with a textured, embossed-like effect — ideal for VIP membership cards, executive name cards, and luxury brand applications.
