With a variety of ID accessories available, there is no one right way to display an ID badge. Each option has its benefits, so we’ve put together some advice on determining which accessory best fits your needs.

ID badge holders keep cards in place and add protection by enveloping them in clear plastic or similar material. They often affix to clothing with a metal clip or pin. Magnetic fastenings can be used to preserve clothing from holes. AlphaCard offers a variety of ID badge attachments for attaching ID badge holders to clothing.Yet another option is arm bands, which are great for constant display of cards on active people. ID badge holders are suitable for card programs where cards require extra protection or need to be easily visible at all times.
Another popular solution is lanyards and badge reels. Both help card holders keep track of cards and provide convenient, hands-free carrying. AlphaCard offers custom lanyards, which have the additional benefit of highly visible branding. Badge reels are often attached to a jacket or pants. Reels allow cards to be pulled out and retracted. Lanyards and badge reels are suitable for card programs that require frequent card swiping at readers.
For your convenience, AlphaCard offers ID accessory packs featuring a slot punch, strap clips and breakaway lanyards.
