ID cards and inserts for different types of identification

Our range of ID cards and inserts is designed to support everything from long-term staff identification to short-term visitor passes and event credentials. Some organisations require durable plastic ID cards with printed branding and photo identification, while others need flexible solutions that can be updated regularly such as printed inserts or perforated sheets.

Choosing the right option depends on how often the information needs to change, how the cards will be used and how permanent the identification needs to be. Comparing the available formats helps ensure your setup remains practical, cost effective and easy to manage.

Printed ID cards

Printed ID cards are ideal for long-term use where durability and a professional finish are important. Available in full colour or black and white, they are commonly used for staff ID, membership cards, access control and branded identification.

These cards are typically paired with lanyards and holders to create a complete and consistent identification system.

Printed passes and inserts

Printed passes and inserts offer a more flexible solution for temporary or frequently changing information. They are well suited to events, conferences, visitor badges and short-term access requirements.

For more specific sizing requirements, custom sized inserts allow you to match your inserts exactly to your badge holders or event format.

A4 perforated insert sheets

A4 perforated insert sheets are a practical option for printing inserts in-house. These sheets are designed to be printed using standard office printers and then separated into individual inserts using the perforations.

This approach is ideal where information needs to be updated regularly or printed on demand.

Used with lanyards, holders and clips

ID cards and inserts are usually part of a wider identification system that includes lanyards, ID card holders and clips and attachments. Choosing compatible products ensures that cards are easy to display, secure to wear and practical for everyday use.

Building the full setup together helps maintain consistency across your organisation or event.

ID cards for workplaces, events and visitor management

ID cards and inserts are used across workplaces, schools, healthcare environments, conferences and public-facing organisations. In some cases the focus is on long-term identification and security, while in others it is on flexibility and ease of updating.

The range is designed to support both approaches, giving you the option to choose a permanent or adaptable solution depending on your needs.

Choosing the right ID card or insert

The best option depends on how permanent the identification needs to be. Printed plastic ID cards offer durability and a more professional finish, while printed inserts and perforated sheets provide flexibility where information changes regularly.

If you are comparing options, consider how often details will need updating, how the cards will be issued and whether they need to withstand regular daily use. This will help you choose the format that offers the best balance of practicality, cost and presentation.
