Custom ID Cards, Card Holders, and Lanyards: A Practical Guide

ID cards are far more than just a name tag. They make it easy for people to identify staff, volunteers, or members at a glance, especially in busy places like offices, events, or schools. A well-designed ID system also gives your organisation a polished, organised look that builds trust with visitors, customers, or colleagues.

At The Card Project UK, we supply everything you need in one go: fully custom ID cards, sturdy card holders, and comfortable lanyards that all match perfectly.

Why Go for Fully Custom ID Cards?

Every organisation is different, so off-the-shelf templates often fall short. We design your ID cards completely from scratch, based on exactly what you need.

Here’s what makes our custom cards stand out:

• Total branding control. We include your logo, exact brand colours, and any layout you prefer. You can add photos, job titles, departments, or even security features like holograms. This means the cards feel like a natural extension of your organisation’s image, reinforcing your professionalism every time someone glances at them.

• Standard credit-card size for everyday convenience. Every card measures 86mm x 54mm – the same as a bank card or driving licence. This familiar size fits perfectly into standard holders, lanyards, wallets, or access-control readers without any hassle. Staff and volunteers find them easy to carry and use day after day.

• Flexible for all kinds of uses. Whether you need permanent staff badges, volunteer IDs, temporary visitor passes, event access cards, or membership schemes, custom cards adapt to the job. For short-term needs you can keep the design simple; for long-term roles you can include more detailed information – whatever suits your situation best.

Durable Card Holders That Protect Your Cards

ID cards get a lot of handling: pulled in and out of pockets, clipped to clothing, or swiped through readers. A good holder keeps the card protected, visible, and looking smart for longer.

Our holders are built with real-life use in mind:

• Eco-friendly oxo-biodegradable plastic. This material is tough enough for daily wear but breaks down more responsibly than ordinary plastic at the end of its life. It’s a straightforward way for organisations to lower their environmental impact without sacrificing durability or quality.

• Built-in protection from everyday damage. A subtle raised ridge around the edge shields the card from bends, scratches, or cracks. This small detail makes a big difference for cards worn all day, carried in pockets, or used outdoors.

• Choice of orientation and colour. You can pick portrait or landscape to match your card layout exactly. With 12 colours on offer – including clear – you can coordinate with your branding, colour-code different roles, or keep everything transparent for quick viewing.

Comfortable, Practical Lanyards

Lanyards keep ID cards visible and within easy reach, which matters in busy settings like hospitals, schools, offices, or conferences. They need to stay comfortable during long shifts and remain securely attached.

Our lanyards balance comfort and reliability:

• Soft recycled polyester fabric. The 10mm-wide material feels gentle against the skin while being strong enough for regular use. Choosing recycled polyester reduces demand for new plastic without compromising performance.

• Secure metal lobster clip. The sturdy clip fastens the card holder firmly, so the card won’t swing loose when people are moving around. It’s a simple feature that gives extra reassurance in active environments.

• Perfect length for natural wear. Each lanyard is around 44cm long when laid flat, placing the card at comfortable chest height for most adults. It’s long enough to be clearly visible but short enough not to get in the way.

• Colour and style options for clarity. Plain colours match your branding, while choices like rainbow lanyards or printed versions (marked “Staff”, “Volunteer”, or “Visitor”) help everyone quickly recognise different roles – especially useful in public or mixed settings.

Fast Turnaround and Dependable Delivery

Organisations often need ID cards quickly – perhaps for a new starter on Monday, an upcoming event, or replacing a lost badge.

We keep things straightforward and speedy:

• Orders are collected by Royal Mail five days a week.

• Once you’ve approved the final design, we aim to dispatch within 24 hours, whether it’s a handful of cards or a complete set with holders and lanyards.

This reliable timeline helps you avoid last-minute panic and keeps everything running smoothly.
