Choosing ID card holders and clips for staff, students and visitors
An ID card spends its life being knocked, bent, swiped and dropped, and the holder decides whether it survives a year or a month. This range covers every way of carrying a card that Irish workplaces actually use: rigid open faced BIOBADGE holders in a dozen colours, enclosed holders that seal the card away, soft vinyl pouches for visitor passes, badge reels, crocodile clips, strap clips and the humble self-adhesive brooch pin.
Hospitals want a holder that wipes down and a reel so the card reaches the reader. Schools want a rigid holder a student cannot bend in a bag. Dublin offices want something tidy that works with the lanyards they already have. The decision that matters is how the card is used: scanned all day wants an open faced holder or a reel, checked occasionally wants an enclosed holder, and a temporary pass wants a vinyl holder at a lower unit cost.
Types of ID badge holder compared
- Open faced BIOBADGE holders, single or dual-sided, from €32 per 100. Everyday staff ID, with colour as a department code.
- Vinyl visitor pass holders, 102x83mm, from €58 per 100, and enclosed clear holders from €59 per 100 for all-round protection.
- Clips and pins for cards worn on a pocket: crocodile clip with metal popper and 70mm strap from €30 per 100, or an adjustable armband holder from €24 for site work.
Matching holders to lanyards, reels and cards
Every holder has a slot that takes a standard clip, so it pairs with any plain lanyard or badge reel in the range. Choose single-sided or dual-sided holders depending on whether the back is printed, and enclosed holders where the card must not be removable. Cards are in blank white cards. Printed holders and personalised lanyards are handled by our sister company PopiD.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an ID card holder and an ID card wallet?
A holder displays the card so it can be seen or scanned while worn. A wallet or enclosed holder covers it fully and is opened when needed.
Do these holders come with a lanyard?
No. Holders and lanyards are sold separately so you can match attachments across departments. A lanyard with a card holder is simply a lanyard clipped to any holder here.
Can you supply ID badges in Ireland as well as holders?
Yes. We sell the printers, ribbons and blank cards to make your own, all dispatched from Dublin.
