In today's fast-paced and security-focused work environments, ID card holders and accessories play a crucial role in maintaining professionalism, identity, and organizational safety.

But beyond basic utility, ID holders can also enhance branding, streamline access control, and improve the overall appearance of your team.

ID Card Holders & Accessories Matter
1. Daily Usage & Convenience
ID cards are typically used multiple times a day—for swiping in, accessing secured areas, identifying staff, or verifying credentials. Without a proper ID holder, cards can get lost, damaged, or become unreadable due to wear and tear. A sturdy card holder ensures your ID stays protected, clean, and easy to access.
2. Enhancing Security
Using standardized ID card holders allows organizations to manage entry and restrict unauthorized access. Holders with retractable reels or lanyards reduce the risk of misplacement and ensure cards are visible at all times. When combined with features like RFID protection or locking mechanisms, ID holders become a key part of workplace security.
3. Promoting Brand Identity
Custom ID card holders—especially when paired with branded lanyards or clips—become walking advertisements for your business. IvyPrints offers customizable solutions where your logo, colors, and slogans can be printed directly on accessories, helping you build a consistent, professional image across teams and locations.
