Plastic Card Personalization, Attaching & Mailing Solutions

Card Affixing Machine

Personalize, attach, and mail gift, loyalty, and membership cards — end to end, on one automated line.

Pineberry builds automated plastic card solutions that personalize cards, match them to the correct carrier or mailer, attach them securely, and feed them straight into your mailing and fulfilment line. Eliminate manual card matching and hand-attaching at any volume.

Serving card issuers, retailers, and fulfilment operations across global markets.

Personalize

Variable print and data matching for each card and carrier

Attach & Glue

Securely bond cards to carriers, mailers, or packaging

Mail & Fulfil 

Feed directly into envelope insertion and direct-mail lines

How Automated Plastic Card Solutions Work

A plastic card solution automates the personalize → match → attach → mail workflow. Instead of hand-matching cards to letters and applying them manually, the system does it accurately at production speed.

N1

Personalize

Variable data (name, card number, barcode/magstripe data) is printed on the card and/or the carrier. Each card is matched to the correct recipient record.
N2

Match & Verify

The system verifies that the right card lands on the right carrier — barcode/OCR matching prevents mismatched mailings.
N3

Attach

A friction feeder places the card and the attaching/gluing station bonds it to the carrier or mailer securely. See our  friction feeders.

N4

Mail & Fulfill

The matched, attached piece feeds into envelope insertion, sealing, and direct-mail — integrated with our print-and-mail automation.

How Fast and How Accurate?

Automated matching and attaching is faster than manual handling and eliminates mismatched mailings. Typical deployed configurations run several thousand pieces per hour with barcode/OCR match verification on every piece. 

Throughput: system designed to match application speeds

Match accuracy: Barcode/OCR verification ensures the right card on the right carrier 

Integrity: Reject/divert on mismatch before mailing

Why Automate Instead of Hand-Matching?

Slow hand-matching of cards to letters
Risk of mismatched / mis-mailed cards
Inconsistent card attachment
Hard to scale at campaign peaks
Labor-intensive at every step
Automated Solution
High-speed automated matching
Barcode/OCR verification before mailing
