Choosing ID card clips for staff and visitor badges

The clip is the part of an ID badge that does the most and gets thought about the least. It is opened and closed a dozen times a day, it hangs off a pocket, a lapel or a lanyard, and when it fails the card ends up in a drawer and the ID policy quietly lapses.

This range covers the attachment types Irish workplaces ask for: crocodile badge clips with a clear strap, lever clips for a quick-release grip, gripper clips that hold a 760 micron card with no strap, self-adhesive brooch pins, split key rings, combi clip badge holders for a 90 x 60mm insert, and badge reels with a strap clip. Packs are 100, or 50 for the reels, and prices start from €20 ex VAT.

Which clip for which badge

  • Crocodile clips, metal or plastic, are the general-purpose choice: the 70mm clear strap threads through a slot-punched card and the jaw grips a pocket edge.
  • Lever clips open wide with a thumb press, which suits staff who take the badge off several times a day.
  • Gripper clips hold the card itself, so there is no strap to fray, though they only suit a standard 760 micron card.

Pairing clips with cards and holders

A strap clip needs a slot, so either buy slot-punched cards or use a holder from the ID card holders range, all of which have the slot built in. If staff swipe the card at a door reader, a badge reel with a strap clip is the practical answer; the full range is under ID card reels. For a closer look at one type, the crocodile clips and lever clips pages list every finish and strap material. Everything dispatches from Dublin.

Frequently asked questions

What are the standard clips for ID badges in Ireland?

A crocodile clip with a clear vinyl strap. It fits any slot-punched card or holder and grips a pocket or lapel without leaving a mark.

Do I need a holder as well as a clip?

Only if the card is not slot-punched or you want it protected. A gripper or self-adhesive clip attaches straight to a plain card.

Are plastic lanyard clips sold on their own?

The clips here attach to cards and holders. For a lanyard with a plastic clip already fitted, see the plain lanyard ranges.
