Innovation in every card
PPS - The partner when it comes to the card.
PPS GmbH has been a trusted partner of end customers and resellers for innovative card solutions for four decades.
PPS supplies products and services of the highest quality – from classic plastic cards, chip cards, RFID cards and RFID media to customized NFC products and lettershop services.
With the introduction of PPS Wallet, the next generation of card technology is ready: The classic card is being replaced by a digital wallet card in the smartphone in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
The PPS hybrid card combines the best of both worlds and enables an easy transition by adding a digital card to the classic plastic card. This brings with it a multitude of new opportunities in marketing and advertising.
PPS also promotes sustainability in the card industry through environmentally friendly materials and completely CO2-neutral products.

Card applications
Customer cards
Customer cards are the company's flagship: printed in the corporate design, customer cards with discounts and bonuses strengthen customer loyalty. Whether with chip, magnetic stripe or QR code - customer cards integrate seamlessly into processes.
Gift cards
Gift cards serve as a flexible means of payment for customers. Whether as a company-specific prepaid card or as a universal voucher - gift cards promote new customer acquisition and strengthen customer loyalty.
Access cards
Access cards serve as an alternative to keys and control access to buildings and company areas. Equipped with a magnetic strip, QR code or RFID chip, access cards offer security and flexibility.
ID cards
ID cards are reliable partners for authentication. Individually personalized and encoded with personal data and a passport photo, ID cards enable reliable access control.
E-charging cards
E-charging cards are an important part of modern electromobility. Individual solutions for charging networks based on RFID cards and RFID tags with state-of-the-art RFID chips ensure optimum functionality and secure charging processes.
Review cards
Review cards offer a user-friendly solution for more positive reviews on platforms such as Google and TripAdvisor. Thanks to QR codes and integrated NFC technology, review cards enable quick and easy ratings by customers using their smartphones.
Warranty cards
Guarantee cards and certificates serve as permanent proof of high-quality products and luxury goods. Various security features and technologies increase counterfeit protection and enhance the value of the products and the customer's perception of the product.
NFC business cards
NFC business cards enable the fast, digital exchange of business cards (vCards). With the integrated NFC chip, a touch of the smartphone is all it takes to transfer contact information. NFC business cards are compatible with all modern smartphones

PPS hybrid card
The perfect combination of classic plastic card and digital card.
By scanning the “Add to Wallet” QR code on the card, the physical card is transferred to the Wallet app on the customer’s smartphone.
PPS Wallet supports both smartphone operating systems, iOS from Apple and Android from Google. These store digital cards in the pre-installed Apple Wallet and Google Wallet apps.
The installation of additional apps is therefore not necessary. Digital maps therefore work natively on all current smartphones with the iOS and Android operating systems.
The PPS hybrid card enables card-issuing companies to make a smooth transition from the classic plastic card to the digital card in the customer’s smartphone.
Simple, innovative and environmentally friendly – the future of the plastic card
The procedure

We will process your request immediately and clarify any uncertainties directly with you. You will usually receive our individual offer by e-mail on the next working day at the latest.
We will be happy to send you sample cards in advance so that you can test their functionality on your system and see the quality for yourself. We want you to be satisfied.
After receiving your order, we will check it, schedule your order for production and send you an order confirmation with the delivery time.
You supply data for printing and personalization, we check it for processability and accept the data for production. If anything is unclear, we will get in touch with you.
To ensure that you receive what you expect, you will receive proofs for the card blank and personalization for checking and approval before production begins.
After you have checked and approved the proofs, we go into production - for urgent projects, express production is also possible in just a few days.
Cooperation all along the line
About the collaboration with PPS
For our model flying association we need new membership cards every year and new training certificates every 5 years. PPS has not only implemented this requirement efficiently, but also extremely precisely. The quality of the products supplied meets our requirements exactly, and all promises and deadlines were reliably met. The consistently positive and reliable communication, especially for complex projects, as well as the flexibility to respond to our specific needs, convinced us. We can recommend PPS without reservation!
As a 5-star luxury hotel and the flagship of the Obertauern ski area, we stand for premium quality in every area of our business. It was also important to us to get the room cards in the best possible quality and there is no better contact for this than PPS. In addition to the high-quality and beautiful room cards, PPS also gives us the opportunity to offer our guests innovative products such as RFID wristbands - which is the perfect solution for our large spa and wellness area. We are very satisfied with the quality and the personal advice. I can warmly recommend PPS to every hotel when it comes to room cards and RFID media.
We were looking for customized loyalty cards and found PPS to be not only a service provider but also a reliable partner. The implementation of our requirements was extremely competent, customer-oriented and fast. The friendly communication and service from PPS impressed us throughout. We particularly appreciate the flexibility with regard to our products and the smooth implementation. PPS is our first choice when it comes to loyalty cards. We recommend PPS without reservation!
We have been working with PPS for a long time and regularly order plastic cards in various designs. Implementation is always prompt and satisfactory. We particularly appreciate the rapid response to inquiries and the consistently friendly contact. With regard to our products, PPS is flexible and adapts to our requirements. Our positive experience with PPS confirms the reliability of our partnership.
We regularly need individually printed customer cards. PPS not only responds promptly to inquiries, but processing and delivery are also carried out extremely quickly. We greatly appreciate the friendly communication and the always accommodating service. The quality of the customer cards is impeccable. We would recommend PPS to anyone looking for high quality products and first class service.
Together with the company PPS has implemented various projects in the field of processing and labeling thin plastic cards. If you are looking for a reliable partner in the field of loyalty card systems, PPS is the right place for you.
For our company Nubart GmbH, which specializes in individual audio guides, we regularly needed cards made of PVC and cardboard with individual codes. In the six years that we have been working with PPS, we have always had an extremely reliable and efficient printing partner who has responded patiently, friendly and professionally to the various special requests of our demanding customers. This is even more important to us than the outstanding print quality, which has of course always been delivered.
PPS implemented a customized solution for us, consisting of a direct debit software that is used in the 13 clubs and NFC membership cards for the members. This means that all clubs can safely book the green fees.
Our members can now also scan their membership card with their smartphone via NFC or QR code and check their current balance at any time.
By working with PPS, we have made a great leap forward. We have a secure digital booking process, can easily evaluate all data and our members always have an up-to-date overview of their credit on their smartphone.
