Plastic cards that work as hard as you do.
IDS Cards is New Zealand’s plastic card printing specialist. Custom PVC, eco, metal and ID cards — membership, loyalty, gift cards, key tags and more — printed in Auckland from 100 cards to runs of 200,000+, with a free proof before we ever hit print.
The plastic card company NZ businesses rely on
A plastic card is a small thing that keeps working long after it leaves your counter. It sits in a wallet, gets swiped at the till, opens the door at the gym — and reminds a customer why they chose you. Based in Auckland, IDS Cards has been printing plastic cards for New Zealand and Pacific businesses for over 13 years, from small clubs with 100 members to national gift card runs of 200,000+.
We print thin cards and thick, standard CR80 size and custom shapes, with barcodes, magnetic stripes, sequential numbering and secure photo ID — everything in between, printed to your needs. And as New Zealand’s first card production company with Eco Warranty Sustainability Certification, we can produce almost any card in eco-friendly material too.
Talk to a card specialistReasons New Zealand brands keep coming back
Anyone can print a rectangle of plastic. The difference is in colour accuracy, encoding that actually scans, and a team that answers the phone when a deadline moves.
Printed here, shipped fast
Local Auckland production means fast turnaround and no waiting weeks on offshore freight — covering all of NZ and the Pacific.
Proof before print
Every order includes a free proof, so colours, finish and encoding are exactly right before we run the full job.
NZ’s first Eco Warranty certified
We were New Zealand’s first card production company with Eco Warranty Sustainability Certification — eco cards are our specialty, not an afterthought.
Every finish in-house
Magnetic stripes, barcodes, sequential numbering, RFID/smart cards, embossing, foils, signature panels and hologram overlays — all under one roof.
Any size, any shape
Thin to thick, small to standard, and odd shapes that are crazy cool — if you can imagine the card, we can print it.
Printers & support too
We’re a stockist of Zebra and Evolis card printers and consumables, so larger companies can produce cards in-house with our backup.
