A Badge Holder For Every Need

Badge holders are an instrument used to hold and protect an identification badge

. Most companies, schools and business organizations require identification cards for security purposes. One way to ensure compliance is to hand out badge holders. There are many advantages of using a badge holder:

1. Providing all the employees or students with the same kind of badge holder ensures uniformity and increases professionalism. If left to their own devices, each individual would come up with a different way of displaying his identification. This would look disorganized to an outsider viewing the organization.

2. As badge holders protect a badge from wear and tear, in the long run they help to cut down on printing costs and cost of human resource.

3. A color coded badge holder helps to easily identify and enforce a system of hierarchy.

4. Badge holders help avoid loss of identification cards and the red tape involved in issuing a new one.

5. An identification card clearly displayed in a badge holder on a person"s clothing increases safety in an organization as it minimizes the likelihood of an intruder in the premises.

Before deciding on the kind of badge holder to buy, it would be wise to list out the uses of your card holder.

In trade shows and conventions, where the badge holder is required for a one time use, the objective would be minimizing cost. In such cases, a simple plastic holder with a pin or strap clip is ideal. Such a card holder is called a convention ID holder and is disposable as well as inexpensive. It is not however not suitable for children because of its sharp pin. A thicker clear vinyl version of this card holder is used when the ID card needs to be displayed for months and years at an end. Such badge holders are available in either a horizontal style or a vertical one depending on the orientation of your card. You can use either chains or badge clips with such holders but not all models adapt to both. For magnetic stripe cards and proximity cards, there are badge holders that allow the card to be locked into place. The unique half card ID holder allows the magnetic stripe to remain exposed. This is suitable for employees who need to swipe their cards many times a day.

For cards that require maximum protection from getting bent or damaged, there are the rigid card protectors. They are used for cards that are sensitive like smart cards which have a built in computer chip. Such holders have small cut out to slide the card out for use. Glow in the dark or reflective card holders are used to provide safety in low light areas. These can be used with arm bands for better visibility. Woven badge wallets are used when credentials must be clearly visible.

Most organizations print their own ID cards. A Zebra printer can be used for this purpose. Zebra printers produce high quality cards for all kinds of budgets.
