What is an ICE Card and Why Should You Carry One?

ICE stands for in case of emergency. It’s used to identify someone who can be contacted if you’re in trouble and can’t speak for yourself. Our ICE cards are made for exactly that reason. They help someone else step in and support you if something unexpected happens.

Each of our range of single-sided cards includes your name, photo, date of birth, address and phone number. They also have the name and phone number of your emergency contact, plus their relationship to you. That could be a parent, a partner, a friend or carer — whoever you trust to be contacted first.

They’re small, lightweight, easy to carry and could make a big difference if you ever need help.

How an In Case of Emergency Card Can Help

Emergencies come in many forms. It might be a medical issue, an accident, confusion in a new place, or getting separated from your group. If you’re not able to speak or explain who you are, our cards can do that for you.

The photo confirms your identity. The name, address and date of birth add more detail. The emergency contact provides a quick route to someone who knows you. No digging through locked phones. No waiting. Just useful information, ready to hand over.

Our cards are used by people of all ages and for all sorts of reasons. Some carry them while travelling, working alone or going for walks. Others use them daily as part of a routine — like children on the school run, people living with health conditions or anyone who just wants to feel more secure when out and about.

ICE Photo ID Cards from The Card Project UK – Clear, Simple and Useful

Our ICE cards are printed on biodegradable plastic and are the same size as a credit card. That means they fit easily into a wallet, purse, bag, or phone case.

They’re printed with the details you upload. That way you can see before you order that the card is correct. All information is approved by you before printing, and our layout makes sure the most important details are front and centre.

The designs we offer are always growing. Some people want something bold and bright. Others prefer a more discreet look. We offer both. Whether you’re looking for something fun, professional or something that stands out in your bag, we’ve made it easy to choose what suits you best.

Who Might Benefit from Carrying an ICE Photo ID Card?

Our cards are for absolutely anyone to use. But here are a few examples of who uses them and why:

• Children who travel to school or clubs on their own

• Older adults living independently

• People with memory loss, autism or anxiety

• Runners, cyclists and dog walkers

• People with long commutes or travel-heavy jobs

• Carers looking after a relative

• Anyone who feels safer knowing someone can be contacted fast

Emergencies are unpredictable. Most people don’t expect to need help until they suddenly do. Our cards make it easier for help to reach you, or your loved ones, without delay or confusion.

Clear ICE Information Without Relying on Technology

Phones are useful, but not always reliable in emergencies. Screens can lock. Batteries can run out. Even medical ID apps are no good if no one knows you have one.

Our cards don’t rely on signal or power. They’re always ready. If someone finds you unwell or confused, they can get what they need from your card — no guessing, no delays.

For people who want even more features, we also offer a range of double-sided ICE Cards. These have the same crucial details on the front but instead of the rear being blank, they have a smaller version of your photo, a signature strip, and a note asking that the card is returned if found.

ICE Cards That Support You Without Getting in the Way

Our cards are designed to be there when needed. You can keep one in your wallet, stick it in a pocket, or pop it in your phone case. Many parents keep a spare in their child’s school bag. Some carers tuck them into jackets or handbags just in case.

They’re not dramatic. They don’t make a fuss. They just work. They provide reassurance for you and for those who care about you.

Ordering with us is super straightforward. Just pick a design, enter your details, and review everything before confirming. Once printed, we send it out as quickly as possible. You can find out about delivery times and options at the checkout or you can read about them via our Delivery page.
