Plastic Cards & Membership Cards in Qatar: PVC, NFC, Types and Prices
Plastic cards have become an essential part of the modern brand experience in Qatar — from loyalty cards in restaurants and retail stores, to club membership cards, staff IDs and access systems. PVC plastic cards combine durability with a premium look, while NFC smart cards add a modern, interactive dimension. In this guide we walk you through the types, materials and uses.
Types of Plastic Cards
- Standard PVC cards: credit-card sized, durable and water-resistant — ideal for loyalty, membership and identification.
- NFC smart cards: a chip that opens your link or profile with a tap of the phone — a modern digital business card.
- Barcode and QR cards: for point-of-sale systems, loyalty programmes and membership tracking.
- Magnetic stripe cards: for traditional access control and loyalty systems.
- Staff ID and access cards: with photo, name, employee number and sequential numbering.
