When you’re working outside in the middle of the dark and people can’t see you there’s a risk involved in not wearing Baumgartens reflective arm badge holder (part number, 66850).

Besides drastically increasing visibility at night with its reflective yellow-green hybrid material, it was made for people operating machinery that can’t risk wearing a lanyard for safety precautions, airport ramp control, military personel, and any professionals that are looking for one of the brightest armband badge holders available on the market to wear at night.

The reflection is strong enough for this armband ID badge holder to be considered a valuable component for night time jobs which require their employees to wear a visible form of ID. This is an industrial strength badge holder designed for heavy duty use and tough applications. The see-through nylon is rugged and tough, yet will even keep dirt, dust, moisture, and other elements which contribute to the degradation of your ID safely at bay while your badge is stored inside.

The square nylon insert (3.5″ H x 3.5″ W) for your ID  has a Velcro closure strap at the top ensuring your badge stays securely in place. The compartment is divided into two spaces, one with the clear window and the other part completely concealed so you can keep your ID or other small items both visible or hidden. Multiple badges will fit into the compartment, as well as small coins, a key or even a few paper bills.

This arm badge holder was made to fit the unique needs of each individual person in large facilities which makes them great for distribution in a place where one size fits all makes the most sense. We all know some people have bigger arms than other, but that’s not a problem here. There’s an adjustable strap that can be accommodated to fit just about anybody. While some people prefer to display their ID card vertically, and others horizontally, either of them are ok since this Baumgaren armband ID badge will carry and display your ID badges  horizontally or vertically without a problem.

The army inspired camouflage color was designed for the patriotic supporters and outdoor enthusiasts to wear.  At 36″ in total length, your items will remain just around your chest area for easy access to your supplies. The  ”Support Our Troops” text is written multiple times on both the front and back of the camo lanyard.

The safety breakaway feature keeps your camouflage lanyard from hurting you in case it gets caught, snagged, or snared on something, by snapping apart, yet can then be easily snapped back together afterwards for an easy fit and tight assembly.

Our armband ID and iPod holder (1260), doesn’t care whether you’re in the military or law enforcement, about to tackle some weights at the gym, or going for a jog through your neighborhood.

Lanyards which can get caught up or grabbed can be less than ideal for law enforcement, military and ramp work at busy airports. They aren’t very convenient when you’re exercising either.

That’s why active people and employees will want to take a close look at our new armband holders. They’re simple to use, low maintenance, and reliable. Besides displaying your ID, this armband badge holder will also allow you to listen to your favorite music wherever you go.

If you want to keep your hands free but your ID card and iPhone/iPod within reach, you can strap this armband badge holder onto your arm or ankle and put them inside.  Then, simply slide your gym card, military or government ID, credit card and drivers license into the clear vinyl ID badge, and seal it shut with a velcro flap. There, your ID card will display visibly and horizontally through the clear vinyl that will shield your card from the elements.

On the other side of the armband holder, you’ll find a pouch thats a perfect size for an iPod, yet can also fit an iPhone, and other small handy devices. Either way, after you tuck your phone or iPod into the pouch it’ll fit snuggly into place and then be covered with a second flap that pinches shut with velcro to keep your phone secure. The smartphone pouch is easily removable for quick customization of your armband.

It’s also important to mention that there’s a “secret compartment” located inside the armband. You can use this special spot to store a thumb drive, breath mints, gum, or whatever else you’re looking to conceal while you’re on duty or working out.

Most active people are looking for a safe and responsible way to keep their smartphone or iPod paired with their ID. There are plenty of benefits to choose why they would. For example, they can listen to music as they work out while keeping their gym pass or school ID card inside their armband as well. 

The armband badge holder is made from of a breathable polyester knit fabric that feels great to wear and flexes with arm movement. With an approximate length of 18″  band and at 3.5″ wide, this is one size fits all. Whether you’re using it for exercise, or on the job, it’s a lightweight makes it an invaluable addition that can help you make the most out of your work, by keeping your hands free to hold other thing.

The inner paddings of this is refined U.S. Government Issue Field Gear are made with top quality craftsmanship, careful construction, and heavy duty polyester that will last through a ton of action. Inside you’ll find double and triple stitched seams, top-of-the line straps, buckles and findings, that are extremely reliable.

Hold on Taylor Swift. I’m a let you finish…

Yes, this is the coolest badge holder on the market for cops.

But then again, if you have half as much fun reading this as I did writing it than I think we can both agree that the saying, “never judge a book by its cover”, has lived another day.

There’s something about a  leather badge holder that’s just cool. Miles Davis cool. And everyone that I’ve seen with one of these has become a little cooler after they’ve worn it. For example, I’ve got this friend, he’s a firefighter, we’ll call him Tucker. I asked Tucker if he’d mind wearing our new  leather badge holder at work next week and to give me ring later to let me know what he thought.

But Tucker doesn’t like to follow rules, and as soon as I handed it over to him he whipped the leather ID badge holder open and stuck his firefighter badge in the front flap, slid his ID under the nylon in the back flap, clamped the velcro bi-fold flaps together shut and swung the 33″ beaded-ball neck chain around his head.

Right there, in front of my eyes, Tucker transformed into full blown firefighter mode.

The leather ID looked great, it really did, and he would have kept it there too had I not insisted he should wear them from his belt loop instead. Quite frankly, Tucker had other parts of his outfit that weren’t exactly living up to the honorable, hiqh-quality black leather badge holder and firefighter badge combo, swinging from his chest like a pendulum. I also thought that he looked rather ridiculous and was causing shame and humiliation to himself firefighters, his mother, and the people we were about to meet.

I said, “Yo TK, the neon green sunglasses hugging your face are clashing with your firefighter image, man. You’re too top heavy. Too many cool things from the waist up. You gotta level it out, put the leather badge holder on your belt loop instead if you’re gonna insist on wearing sunglasses all night.”

He tucked the ball-necklace into the pouch behind the front flap, fastened the the bi-fold badge holder shut around  his belt, and walked down the strip like an imaginary boss.

Fast-forward fifteen minutes and a few blocks later, and there’s Tucker and I standing inside of some new, pseudo-Scandinavian bar owned by some wealthy Italians from west Pennsylvania that didn’t seem to care about their ears, when suddenly, over all this groundbreaking decimal reggae-ton music blasting out the last fibers of cilia hairs, I hear Tucker’s voice soaring above all the madness, and I look over just as he’s finishes ordering the bleach-blonde aspiring actress at the bar to pour him a shot of Tequila into a lightbulb.

I was flabbergasted, but hardly surprised. I honestly don’t know where he comes up with this kind of stuff. Sometimes I wonder if he has some kind of bizarre fascination with fire and light, hence the whole firefighter, lightbulb thing. But then again, I ask myself if he might be, at his most fundamental nature, simply another pyromaniac obsessed with water, hence the whole firefighter, lightbulb thing.

The bartender smiled, completely blew him off and poured his drink into shot glass. Feeling belittled that she didn’t take him seriously enough to attend to his obscene request, Tucker quickly flashed his leather ID badge holder at her, and, I dont know whether this lady is gonna win an academy award someday or not, but she underwent some kind of profound transformation as soon as her eyes met the leather badge holder and her expression changed almost immediately.

She became completely submissive. She turned out a light.

She unscrewed the top, and poured Tucker’s Tequila into her lightbulb.

He won.

You see, there’s a feeling of superiority, honor and respect that you gain from wearing a leather badge holder that you don’t get when you flash any other ID badge holder. If you happen to watch the hit TV show “Dexter”, which is actually filmed on location right by our warehouses in Miami, Florida, then you’ve probably noticed before, those drastic changes that occur within the main character, Dexter Morgan before and after he removes his ID badge holder.

If you havent, check out the clip we’ve provided below so that this makes more sense to you. When Dexter wears his leather badge holder he’s a totally normal guy at work checking out some new blood splatter, but as soon as he takes it off and stashes his leather ID holder in his pants, he turns into Mr. Hyde before he slicing into his new cupcake.

But Dexter isn’t alone, in that millions of officers around the world also prefer to conceal  their badge holder when they aren’t on the clock, and enjoy changing their look and comfort level as the situation occurs. Having three different carrying options also helps them relax since they can either wear their ID badge holder from their belt, neck chain or keep it in their pocket until they need to flash someone. 

If you want to keep your badge holder in your pocket, go right on ahead. If you want to wear it on a neck chain, you know what to do. But if you want to put wear it from your belt , simply stuff the neck chain inside of the pocket-pouch located right behind the badge holder and then clamp it shut around new leather badge holder around your pant-gripper.

Our leather badge holder is roughly the same size of a standard bi-fold wallet. However, there’s a small shape cut out from the leather in the center front of the 1139, that’s perfectly carved to fit and display your official metal badge. But there’s also room on the back fold, where you can slide multiple standard credit card sized ID cards inside of a vinyl slip for clear visibility and easy access. The clear vinyl also protects and shields your ID from dirt, grime, and other factors which contribute to the degradation of your ID cards.

The leather bi-fold badge holder sticks together with a high quality, long-lasting velcro that’s designed to keep your badge from opening and flapping around while hanging from your neck key-chain. The black leather material is stiff, but feels more comfortable as it breaks in. From the tight stitching, to the imprinted shape designed to carry your metal badge, the construction of this ID badge holder is of an impecable quality that is made to serve and protect.

We recommend these leather ID holders for anyone that wants to look cool when they flash their leather badge holders from a neck-chain while carrying multiple IDs.

That’s because this brand new ID card was designed to help increase security while safely compiling sensitive information and saving time. It’s also surprisingly easy to use.  If you allow me to briefly explain how this works, I’ll explain to you how this might just be the new game changer when it comes to ID security for your business.

When a visitor enters your premises, your receptionist or security officer simply needs to fill out an ID card with the persons information, and that exact data will simultaneously be reproduced and stored inside of a log book for safe keeping. And this information will be encoded in order to prevent the public or other visitors from reading it. This allows you to easily monitor a persons visit every time they enter your doors.

Afterwards, the receptionist will supply the visitor with a self expiring adhesive ID badge holder that they can stick onto their shirt containing their information that will allow them to enter the compounds. About 14-16 hours later, the self expiring process will fully transpire, and the ID card will change colors and a bold, “VOID” text will appear in front of the ID badge.

The sign in information and log book that come with the self expiring badge holder heightens the security levels by preventing tampering and reuse of the badge, while also saving time by eliminating the need for employees to gather the ID badges after distribution. This in turn helps keeps your working facility safe by being smart and utilizing technology to be more efficient.

We simply advice you to consider the volume of visitors you get before placing your order. The 05721  contains 240 ID badges, and the 05741 carries 480. Either way, you can’t go wrong, because these ID badge holders and accessories were built to perform at a high level and keep your business safe and your visitors supervised.
