A Card Built Like a Credit Card, Printed Your Way
Slide one out of a wallet and your fingers can't tell it from the debit card sitting next to it. That is the whole point: these 30mil white plastic cards run on solid white PVC, the exact stock banks use, at 2.125" x 3.375", the standard credit-card size, with 1/8" rounded corners so each one drops straight into a wallet slot, a card reader, or a badge holder. Pick one up and it flexes and snaps back like the card already in your pocket, shrugs off water, and lasts years of daily use. Printed in New York since 1999, they start at $226.11 for 250 and hold a 4.8 out of 5 across 5 reviews.
What sets this card apart is what you can build into it. A magnetic stripe, a signature panel, a barcode, embossed numbering, a scratch-off PIN, and sequential variable data all turn a printed rectangle into a working membership, gift, or ID card. Want to see how it sits next to the rest of the range? Browse every style on business cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 250 starts at $226.11, about 90 cents a card, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 10,000, where it lands near 25 cents. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are 30mil White Plastic Cards?
30mil white plastic cards are durable PVC cards printed full color on a single white plastic stock at 2.125" x 3.375", the same 30 mil thickness and size as a credit card. People reach for them when a paper card would not survive: membership cards, gift and prepaid cards, loyalty and VIP cards, ID badges, and access key cards. The white plastic base makes color artwork read clean and bright, whether you print a logo on the front and leave the back blank or run full color on both sides. If you want the everyday plastic card instead, the Plastic Business Cards cover that, and this 30mil card sits beside it as the thicker, bank-grade version.
What Finishes and Ink Options Can You Choose?
Two finishes set the feel. A UV Gloss coat gives color and photos a hard, shiny surface that catches the eye, ideal for gift and loyalty cards. A Silk Laminated Matte reads softer and more premium, with a smooth low-glare surface that feels expensive in the hand and takes a signature or a stamp without beading. For ink you choose 4/0, full color across the front with a blank back for a signature panel or handwriting, or 4/4, full color on both sides so the back can carry terms, a barcode, or a second design. All of it, plus the card features, is grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents it, so you know what you can change before you change it.
What Card Features Can You Add?
This is where a plain card becomes a working card. The options below turn a printed rectangle into hardware people actually swipe, sign, and scan, and you only pay for the ones you turn on.
Encode it with a magnetic stripe
Add a magnetic stripe in LoCo or HiCo coercivity and the card swipes through gift, loyalty, or door-access readers. LoCo suits high-turnover gift and promo cards, while HiCo holds up on cards people carry and swipe for years. Pair it with a signature panel, a white strip on the back that members can sign like a bank card.
Number every card differently
Turn on barcoding with Code 128 or Code 39, or sequential variable data, and every card in the run ships with its own number or code instead of a repeat. That is what makes a numbered membership card, a unique loyalty code, or a scannable check-in badge. Add embossed numbering to raise the digits like a classic credit card, plain or tipped in gold or silver foil.
Finish it for the job
A scratch-off panel hides a PIN for prepaid and promo runs. Foil stamping adds a metallic accent to the front or back. And a punched lanyard slot on the short or long edge turns the same white card into an event or ID badge that clips to a reel or hangs from a lanyard.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make a plastic card look sharp. Start from one of thousands of free, professionally built layouts in our business card design templates, then change the colors, copy, and logo in the online editor in minutes.

Wally prints a card built like a credit card
Why a $226.11 run of 30mil plastic cards outlasts anything on paper.

How Much Do 30mil White Plastic Cards Cost?
30mil white plastic cards start at $226.11 per 250, about 90 cents a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 10,000, where it lands near 25 cents. Along the way 1,000 cards run $377.68, 3,000 run $1,009.25, and 7,500 land at $2,019.75, with 12 quantity tiers in all. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the run total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Can You Number or Encode Each Card?
Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique number, a serial, or a one-off code onto every single card in the run, so each one ships personalized instead of identical. Pair it with a Code 128 or Code 39 barcode and a magnetic stripe, and the card becomes a numbered membership card, a scannable loyalty card, or a prepaid gift card where every code is different. Add embossed numbering and a signature panel and a plain white rectangle starts doing the work of a full bank card.
How Do They Compare to the Other Plastic Cards?
The 30mil white card is the value pick when you want a bright, printable base at bank-card thickness, but it is not your only move. If you are weighing a see-through or frosted look, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up the 30mil white card against its closest siblings, the 30mil Clear Plastic Cards and the 30mil Frosted Plastic Cards, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Plastic Cards?
30mil white plastic cards print on a standard 15 business day production schedule, since encoding, embossing, and lamination each take a real step on the line, so plan the order around your launch or renewal date. Before anything prints you choose how to handle proofing: send it Straight To Production when your file is final, or request a Free Online Proof and approve a digital preview of the exact card first. The proof is the safer path when you have variable numbering, a barcode, or embossing that has to be right on every card.
