ID card holders for different workplaces and uses
Our ID card holders range brings together practical options for staff identification, visitor passes, student cards, contractor badges and event credentials. Some customers need a straightforward holder for everyday access cards, while others need a colour-coded format, a double-card layout or a more specialist material such as antimicrobial plastic.
The right holder depends on how the card will be used, whether it needs to show one or both sides clearly, and how much protection is needed during daily wear. Comparing the formats side by side makes it easier to choose the best balance of display, durability and convenience.
Portrait and landscape formats
ID card holders are available in both portrait and landscape layouts to match different card designs and badge styles. Choosing the correct orientation helps improve readability and gives the finished identification setup a neater, more professional appearance.
This is especially useful where staff names, roles, photos or access details need to stay visible at a glance.
Single and double card options
Some applications only require one visible card, while others need space for multiple passes, access cards or inserts. That is why the range includes both single and double card holders in different orientations.
Double card formats can be particularly useful where front-facing identification needs to be shown alongside an additional card or pass.
Open faced, fully enclosed and antimicrobial styles
Alongside standard holder formats, the range also includes open faced, fully enclosed and antimicrobial options for more specific requirements. Open faced holders are useful where cards need to stay visible and easy to access, while fully enclosed styles offer more complete coverage and can be a better fit where cards need extra protection during daily handling.
For more specialist environments, our antimicrobial ID card holders offer an additional option for settings where cleanliness and shared environments are a priority.
Used with reels and supporting ID products
ID card holders are often used as part of a wider identification system rather than on their own. Many customers pair them with badge reels and ID cards and inserts depending on how the credentials will be issued and worn.
Choosing compatible accessories helps create a more secure and more practical finished setup for staff, visitors and event attendees.
Ideal for staff, visitors and events
ID card holders are widely used in offices, schools, healthcare settings, warehouses, public-facing workplaces and events. In some cases the priority is protecting everyday access cards, while in others it is making badges easier to display clearly and wear comfortably throughout the day.
That makes them one of the most useful supporting products in any identification system.
Complete your identification setup
ID card holders are often ordered alongside ID cards and inserts and badge reels. Ordering these together can help create a more consistent and better matched system for everyday use.

Choosing the right ID card holder
The right ID card holder is not just about size. It also depends on orientation, whether one or two cards need to be displayed, how much protection the card needs and whether a more open, more enclosed or more specialist format will make the setup more effective. A simple holder may be ideal for everyday office use, while a fully enclosed or antimicrobial style may suit more specific operational needs.
If you are comparing options, start with the practical requirements first - such as card format, how the holder will attach, and whether it needs to support heavy everyday use - then choose the holder that gives the best overall balance of visibility, protection and convenience.
