Types of Badge Holders

There are a number of different badge holders in the market that are perfect for wearing printed custom plastic ID cards. The holders protect the badge and allow it to remain visible when needed. Some badge holders allow the badge to hang around the neck while other badges clip to clothing, belt or pocket. Newer clamps attach the badge securely for different wearing options.

If your company has a badge printer, such as a Zebra Card printer and produces their badges in house, they may have a specific type of badge holder that they require their employees and members to wear with their badge. Other companies with photo ID systems do not have a standard badge attachment and card holders are free to select a holder that works for their individual needs.

Vinyl badge holders are popular holders that protect printed cards from wear and tear. The holders normally have a slot to attach to the strap clip or lanyard. Similar to the vinyl badge holders are rigid plastic badge holders that protect an access control card or smart card during the working hours.

Economy badge holders are excellent open faced badge holders that will protect your identification card from damage because of bending. These holders are quite popular with elementary schools as they keep children from bending cards and also from the younger ones who chose to chew on the card edges.

Convention badge holders are very economical, although they are used for only a brief time. Made of extremely thin plastic, the holder will display a printed paper badge. This holder is perfect for tradeshows and seminars where a large quantity of badges are needed on a temporary basis.

Magnetic badge holders are nifty ID card attachments as they do not require pins or clips. The magnet attachment does the job of holding your badge in place by attaching magnet to magnet. The badge holder is held in place by wearing the magnet ends over a belt, pocket or other part of clothing. There are both vertical and horizontal options in magnetic badge holders.

Zipper badge holders are great for those who work outdoors and in dirt or wet environments. The badge holder securely holds the credential in a sealed pouch so that it is protected from rain, wind, dirt and other elements. The holder has a slot at the top for allowing a badge clip or other holder to attach to clothing.

Armband holders are popular with baggage handlers and construction workers. The holder provides a secure place for the badge to be displayed while the card holder is doing physical work requiring both hands. The badge holder is transparent and holds the badge with a Velcro strap to make sure that the badge is held securely on the arm.

Lanyards are another attachment that are popular. Standard lanyards are nylon neckcords that come in various colors and widths. There are a number of other types of lanyards such as beaded lanyards and custom lanyards that have a company or brand logo on them.

The integration of photo id systems in small to medium businesses and organizations is moving at a more rapid rate than ever before. Badges are either carried or worn. If worn, a badge holder will help display it correctly when worn.
