With some badge holders, you aren’t given much of an option for attachment types, but with these vertical and horizontal vinyl badge holders, you have three options you can choose from for your preferred attachment. The importance of this should not be overlooked, because everyone that uses a badge holder will have a wide range of unique needs which factor into their specific placement for their ID badge holder, and the ability to get the badge reel to work along the grain of your work as oppose to against it, is a key factor to consider when choosing the proper option for you. Therefore, the great thing about the 1820-1050 (Vertical) and the 1820-1000 (Horizontal), is that you can attach them to either a lanyard, badge reel, or you can utilize the two holes offered on the side for a neck chain.

The clear, see through design of this vinyl holder allows for easy visibility on both sides of the card which improves the speed of identification at access points for keeping a fluid work environment which is important and extremely handy when you are working. The option to choose between horizontal and vertical will depend on how your ID badge was designed, not one made by the manufacturer, which is why we are proud to offer both.  If you would like to see our badge reels in action to better guide your decision,  please watch our YouTube video below.

If these reasons have raised your interest in purchasing for this vinyl badge holder, let me also highlight that our  low price of $0.28 down to $0.18, with the maximum quantity discount and the ability to buy at no minimum order.  Also, free shipping  is included on orders over $50, making the Standard Clear Vinyl ID Badge Holder in Vertical and Horizontal an economical choice when outfitting a large company.

Doctors, lawyers, and teachers everywhere would be held up at an entrance, fumbling around for their ID cards, wasting valuable time in today’s fast paced world. Thankfully, we don’t have to deal with these types of hold ups, because slot punches have revolutionized the way we wear our ID cards, giving us the freedom to attach them to our clothing, lanyard, belts, or wherever else you find your most convenience. Specialist ID offers 14 different types of slot punches, from electronic to manual. If your business or brand is looking to create custom ID cards, then this ingenious device is a necessary buy.

When choosing a slot punch, there are a few things you would want to consider.  First and most importantly, how many cards do you have to put holes in per day.  If it is only a couple at a time, then the hand helds should work fine.  However, if you have petite hands, the process an become painful quick as it takes a bit of strength to put the slot in the PVC card.  After one or two you may not feel it, but I have been in pain after punching over a couple of hundred cards in one sitting with the metal hand held type and I would not recommend doing this to anyone!

The inexpensive desktop slot punch, such as the CSP-G pictured above, combine the best of both worlds.  The punch is small, inexpensive, and comfortable to use!  It is not designed for super high volume jobs, but if you are punching anywhere from 1-25 cards per sitting, it will keep your hands from hurting and prove quite reliable.

If you are into heavy volume jobs, where you have to punch lots of card per sitting for up to hours on end, or you want every punch to be effortless, you may want to consider the heavy duty table top punch or even the electric slot punch.  With the long handle and lots of leverage, the heavy duty punch makes it so easy to penetrate the PVC card.  With the electric, with only a push of a button, the card is punched with no manual effort at all.

We stock many of the most popular Slot Punch styles in the  industry, and you should be able to find one that suits your company needs best. If you have any questions please contact us online, or give us a call at 1-800-380-6726.

All standard ID card printers print on blank PVC Card stock. These cards can be 100% PVC or a composite of PVC and other materials, depending on the application. The most common variables are:

1. Size
2. Color
3. Magnetic Stripe
4. Material

Size - CR-80 is the most common sized ID card and is the same size as a standard credit card or drivers license. Some ID card printers can print on larger CR90 or even CR100 cards, however, these are relatively uncommon.  The thickness of a standard card is 30mil (30 thousandths of an inch). The most common alternate sizes are 20mil and 10-14mil (business card thin).

Color – PVC Cards can be ordered in many different colors, the standard color being white. When ID card printers print on white, the clear color panels blend with the white background from the white card to create colors. Printing on a card any color but white, will alter the color of the printing on the actual card. Just like trying to color on a black piece of paper with crayons, printing on a black PVC card will render the printing almost invisible. When coloring on black paper you have to use special pens, and when printing on black card stock you must use special ribbons. The “monochrome” printer ribbons can print on colored cards and still look great. For example, printing on a black or red card with a silver or white monochrome ribbon yields great results. As does printing on a white or orange card with a black monochrome ribbon.

Magnetic Stripes - The next option is a magnetic stripe. Everyone is familiar with these on the back of credit cards and airline tickets. There are two main categories of magnetic stripes. HiCo (High Coercivity) and LoCo (Low Coercivity). Coercivity is the strength of a magnetic field. A dark black strip is HiCo (as on most credit cards) and a coffee color brown is LoCo (as seen on airline tickets). For an application where the magnetic strip will be used over a long period of time HiCo is ideal, whereas a disposable application can use a LoCo without any issues. It is harder to erase a HiCo magnetic strip accidentally than a LoCo. Magnetic Strips can also vary in width. Half (.500) inch are standard on most ID’s while it is very common to find a thinner.330” strip on most credit cards.

Material - PVC Cards can be 100% PVC or composite cards. For standard card printing applications, 100% PVC cards are fine. However, if an ID will be laminated, a composite card is required. This is due to the high heat used when laminating the ID card during the printing process. (Laminated PVC cards only have a laminate film over the top, such as the hologram panel found on your drivers license. The entire card is not laminated in a pouch like the older style ID cards). These “composite” cards are a Polyester (“PET”)/PVC blend. Typically 60% PVC, 40% Polyester.

Our Part Numbers – We create our part numbers based on the above mentioned options. For example:
A CR80, 30 mil PVC card, blank white with no mag stripe would be:
8030WHITE (if no mag stripe is specified it will be assumed to not have a magnetic stripe)

A CR80, 20 mil PVC black pvc card with no magnetic stripe will be:
8020BLACK

A CR80, 30mil, silver card with .500” HiCo Magnetic Stripe will be:
8030SILVERHICO

A CR80, 30mil, silver card with a .330” HiCo Magnetic Stripe will be:
8030SILVERHICO.330

A CR80, 30mil, white card with a .500” LoCo Magnetic Stripe will be:
8030WHITELOCO
