INTERNATIONAL PLASTIC CARDS INCORPORATED

International Plastic Cards Incorporated specializes in the secure production and distribution of high-integrity credential documents, with a primary focus on FAA Airmen Certificates. Leveraging commercial printing technologies, the company delivers durable, tamper-resistant plastic credentials that meet stringent federal aviation safety and identification standards. Their technical expertise includes precision cardstock lamination, embedded optical variable imagery, microprinting, and secure serialization protocols—all critical for ensuring document authenticity and compliance with FAA and DOT regulatory requirements. The contractor’s specialization in aviation credentialing distinguishes them as a trusted provider for mission-critical identification systems requiring long-term durability and anti-counterfeiting features. The company maintains a consistent, long-standing relationship with the Department of Transportation, particularly its Federal Aviation Administration’s Airmen Certification Branch. Their work supports the end-to-end lifecycle of pilot and aviation professional credentials, from initial printing to nationwide distribution, often under multi-year option periods. This recurring engagement reflects deep institutional familiarity with FAA’s operational workflows, security protocols, and compliance timelines. Their primary industry focus is commercial printing (NAICS 323111), specifically in the niche segment of government-issued secure credentials. Unlike general commercial printers, they operate within a highly regulated vertical requiring adherence to federal documentation standards, chain-of-custody controls, and audit-ready production records. This positions them as a specialized vendor within the federal credentialing ecosystem. International Plastic Cards Incorporated is a small business entity headquartered in Gardena, California, with no active government certifications on record. Their geographic footprint is centered on serving federal aviation and transportation clients from a single, dedicated production facility, emphasizing operational control and quality assurance over broad national reach.
