A slot punch does one job, and this one does it properly. The Plastic ID Card Slot Punch with Adjustable Guide cuts a clean, standard slot into any ID card or badge, letting you attach a lanyard clip, badge reel, or strap without cracking the card or leaving a ragged edge.

The adjustable guide is the detail that matters here. It lets you position the slot consistently across a batch of cards — same placement, every time — which makes a practical difference when you're processing a stack of new employee badges rather than doing them one at a time by eye. The kind of tool that earns its place in the drawer quickly.

Compact enough to sit on any desk or ID station, it works with standard CR80 PVC cards as well as thinner card stock. If you're issuing cards regularly, having a dedicated slot punch — rather than reaching for whatever's nearby — keeps the finish looking professional.
