The card carries the design, the lanyard carries the brand, and the holder carries everything. It is the cheapest component in a badging system and the one that decides whether the other two survive the week.
Almost every badge holder splits in the same place: the slot at the top, where the lanyard hook goes. The card weighs almost nothing, but people tug it towards readers, catch it on doorframes and put it in pockets. This holder has a reinforced top edge, which is a small amount of extra material in exactly the right place.
Multiple perforations mean one holder works with a centre-hook lanyard, a side bulldog clip or a retractable reel. For an event with mixed attachments — staff on reels, guests on lanyards, press on clips — you can buy one holder in one quantity rather than three.
This is a stock item, not a production item. There is no artwork, no proof and no print lead time, so it ships from stock and can be added to an order late. For a conference organiser assembling 3 000 badge packs a week before the doors open, that matters more than any feature.
Standard credit-card and event-badge stock, 86 × 54 mm, portrait orientation. The holder takes a printed PVC card or a paper insert; for a paper insert we recommend 250 gsm or heavier so it does not curl inside the sleeve.
It is where every badge holder fails. The slot carries the entire weight of the card plus whatever the wearer does with it, and on an unreinforced holder the plastic splits within a day or two. A reinforced edge is the single difference between a holder that lasts one conference and one that lasts twenty.
Yes — that is what the multiple perforations are for. The centre slot suits a lanyard hook, the side slots suit bulldog clips and reels, and the same holder works with all of them. It means you can standardise on one holder across an event with mixed attachment types.
The holder itself is a clear stock item and stays unprinted; the branding lives on the card inside, which you can print in full colour. If you want a printed holder, use a laminated badge or a rigid card with a printed face instead.
Attach it with: retractable badge reels, Printed Lanyards, Polyester and Nylon or any badge holder lanyard. Print the cards themselves: event badges and ID cards. Pin-free alternative for uniforms: magnetic name badges.
