Why Our Staff Photo ID Cards Are Always a Smart Choice for Sole Traders and Small Businesses

If you run a small business or work for yourself, it’s easy to overlook something like a staff ID card. But having a clear, professional-looking card can make a real difference. It helps build trust with customers, shows you take your work seriously, and makes day-to-day tasks easier. That’s where our staff photo ID cards come in.

We’ve designed our cards with sole traders and small businesses in mind. If you don’t have a logo, that’s no problem. Our layouts work perfectly without one. You can include your name, a photo, your business name, your job title, an email address or website, and a telephone number. Everything is set out clearly on one side of the card, keeping it simple and easy to read.

How Our Business Photo ID Cards Work

Ordering one of our business photo ID cards is so easy and straightforward. You just upload a photo and enter your details. That’s it. We’ll do the rest.

The design shown above is one of our popular layouts. It’s got a soft blue swirl background, a clean typeface, and a clear photo space. It looks professional without being too formal, which makes it ideal for trades, therapy services, consultants, and many other types of small business. If you like this layout, you can order it as it is. But if it isn't quite to your taste then although we don’t make changes to the layout or colours, we do offer a full category of other single sided staff photo ID cards with different designs. They all offer the same details — the only difference is the background and how the information is set out.

Our Company Photo ID Cards Help You Look Professional

First impressions matter, and when you arrive at someone’s home or a shared workplace, it helps to show who you are. Customers feel more at ease when they can see a clear photo ID. If you’re self-employed, having our company photo ID cards helps you present yourself as someone reliable and organised.

We’ve worked with decorators, mobile hairdressers, driving instructors, electricians, therapists, and dog walkers — all of them told us the same thing. People feel more confident when they can clearly see who they’re dealing with. Our cards help give that instant clarity. The design is clean, modern, and avoids anything that feels corporate or stuffy. That’s ideal for smaller teams or individuals who want to keep things professional but friendly.

Workplace Photo ID Cards With Simple Setup

You don’t need graphic design skills or specialist software. You don’t need to create a logo or brand. You just need a clear photo and your contact details. That’s all we need from you.

We’ve taken care of the rest. Our workplace photo ID cards are already laid out, so you won’t need to worry about where things go. We’ve tested these layouts and chosen fonts and colours that keep things readable, even at a glance. You can focus on your work while we take care of the print and design side.

No Logo? No Problem — Our Employee Photo ID Cards Are Designed For You

Many small businesses don’t have a logo. That doesn’t mean you should miss out on the benefits of a photo ID card. Our employee photo ID cards don’t rely on branding. Instead, they’re built to look neat and professional without any extra graphics.

We know that most small business owners just want something that does the job and that’s why we’ve made sure every layout works without a logo. The business name still stands out, and the overall effect is tidy and professional. Whether you’re a one-person team or managing a small group, our cards will work for you.

Custom Business Photo ID Cards Available If You Want Something Different

If you’re after something more specific — like a design that includes your logo, or colours that match your branding — we can help with that too. We offer a separate custom design service where we create a business photo ID card to your exact requirements.

This is ideal for businesses that want something more personalised. You tell us what you need, and we’ll design something to suit. This is separate from our fixed-layout cards like the one shown above, so if you want to include a logo, just head over to our custom design section. We’ll build a card that works with your business style.

Premium Double Sided Staff ID Cards for Those Who Need More

If you’re looking for something a bit more advanced, we also have a range of premium double sided staff ID cards. These include extra features like a QR code and a signature strip. They’re popular with teams who need to show more information or want something that feels a bit more substantial.

They’re ideal if you want to include a digital link, carry extra verification, or just prefer the feel of a double sided card. We have lots of designs to choose from so you're bound to find one (or more!) that you like.

Complete the Look With Our Lanyards, Holders and Clips

Of course, once you’ve ordered your photo ID, you might want something to carry or wear it with. We’ve got a range of extras available, including card holders, clips, and lanyards. Whether you want something to pin to your clothing or wear round your neck, there are plenty of options and plenty of colours. So once you’ve picked your card, you can browse our accessories and find what suits you best.
