What ICE Means and Why an In Case of Emergency Photo ID Card from The Card Project UK Can Help

ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. It’s a quick way to let someone know who to contact if something goes wrong. The term is often used by the emergency services. They look for ICE details on phones, wallets, and ID when they’re helping someone who can’t speak for themselves. That might be after a fall, during a medical event, or in any situation where someone is distressed or unconscious.

Our card puts that information where it needs to be. On the front, it shows your photo and name, your date of birth, phone number, address, and your emergency contact, your relationship to them, and their telephone number. The layout is simple. The message is clear.

If someone needs to help you, they shouldn’t have to guess who you are. Our card gives them the facts.

Emergency Help That Speaks for You When You Can’t

Some people carry emergency information that’s handwritten or tucked into a bag. That might work, but it can also be missed. The Help theme of our card was designed to stand out. The background includes a green Help sign that’s easy to spot. Your photo is placed next to it, so the card looks official and personal at the same time.

On the back, there’s a smaller version of your photo, along with a signature strip, and a clear instruction: if found, return to the address shown on the front. Everything about the card is made to make things easier for the person helping you.

It’s the same size as a credit card, so it fits in a wallet or pocket. The surface is waterproof and wipeable. It’s made from biodegradable plastic, which means it lasts a long time but breaks down more easily once thrown away. You can carry it daily without having to think about it. It’s there when you need it.

Who Can Benefit from Carrying an ICE Photo ID Card?

Our card isn’t just for people with medical conditions, although it is often used for that reason. It’s also useful for people who live alone, people who travel, people with communication needs, and anyone who wants to make sure their emergency contact details are always with them.

We’ve seen it ordered by parents, carers, support workers, and individuals of all ages. Some people order it for peace of mind. Others use it because they’ve had a difficult experience in the past where key information wasn’t available. Whatever the reason, our card helps people feel prepared.

It doesn’t rely on someone opening your phone or knowing your passwords. It doesn’t need a battery. It’s a practical, straightforward way to be ready for unexpected situations.

Emergencies don’t always look like emergencies. Someone might appear confused, withdrawn, or unable to respond. A card that explains who they are and who to call can help staff, bystanders, or emergency teams decide what to do.

Our card can reduce delays. It can ease stress. It can stop people from guessing or making the wrong assumptions. It can also speak for people who find it hard to explain themselves in a crisis.

Having a clear photo on the front and back adds reassurance. If someone is found without other ID, our card gives them a name and a face to match. That’s helpful in all sorts of situations—at home, at school, while travelling, or just out and about.

Other ICE Card Designs Available from The Card Project UK

Our card is one of several double-sided designs in our ICE range. All of them include the same layout and details on both sides, but the background designs vary. Some are bold and bright, while others are more subtle. The options are there so you can pick one that works best for you.

We also offer a separate range of single-sided ICE cards. These have the same emergency details printed on the front, but the back is blank. The layout is different to the double-sided range, and they are popular with people who want something simpler.

Every card is printed on biodegradable plastic and made to last. You just choose the version that suits your style and how you live.
