Oversized ID Cards
How many ID cards do you
want to make per year?
A standard sized ID card has dimensions of 3-3/8” x 2-1/8” (85.6 mm x 54 mm). Identification cards of this size are labeled CR-80 and are often called “credit card size”.
Because this size is identified as the standard, any ID card with larger dimensions is accordingly called “oversize”.
One of the most popular types of oversized ID badge is the CR-90 (3-1/4” x 2-5/16”, or 92 mm x 60 mm). CR-90 ID cards are only slightly larger than the identification badge standard, the CR80, and carry the “data collection size” moniker.
It is CR-100 ID cards (3-7/8” x 2-5/8”, or 98.5 mm x 67 mm) that are most often actually called “oversize”. Identification badges of this size are also referred to as “military” or “government” sized ID cards.
Larger than CR100 ID cards are “luggage tag size” (2-1/2” x 4-1/4”) identification cards and “convention-sized” cards.
