A. Soft Vinyl Plastic (pictured to the right) is the most common ID holder. Some people use it as a work wallet to carry a few dollars, hidden by the ID badge, for the vending machine. This vinyl holder can hold at least three standard ID cards.

     This vinyl holder is not made from the long haul  if you intend to remove the badge from the holder on a daily basis which might be the case if you are scanning for bar code or magnetic strip readers.

      This holder should not be your first choice if you have to remove the badge from the holder with any regularity because you will have to unlock it from the attachment each time.

     If this is the case, then you may want to consider either of the two holders below due to durability and ease of use.

B. Semi Rigid Plastic (pictured to the right) is a durable holder. It can hold three ID badges of traditional thickness.  It is the only ID holder that does not need clarification  of vertical or horizontal since it has a notch in the back for either one.

This flexibility feature comes in handy if your card design changes to the other orientation. You can still use the same holder for the new badge. You simply affix the attachment to the other notch.

This holder may not be as common as the vinyl or hard plastic, but it is popular because it is flexible, durable, and budget friendly.

It is important to note that most of the ID badge is exposed with this holder, whereas the soft vinyl and hard plastic cover all and almost all of the badge respectively.

Pictured to the left is the back of the semi rigid holder showing the two notches for either orientation.

C. Hard Plastic (pictued to the right) is the premium holder providing the ultimate in protection and durability for your ID badge.

With the vertical orientation, the card loads on the side and the horizontal holder has a top load.

You can remove the ID card numerous times without concern. This holder can accommodate two badges of regular thickness.

The window in the center is a thumb notch to provide easy access to the badge for removal.
