The range covers two material types, each serving a different purpose. PVC card holders are the volume item: clear plastic pouches in a wide range of sizes that display the insert card through the front face. They pair directly with lanyards and are purchased in bulk to equip a workforce or event. Size options cover ID card, A5, A6, landscape and portrait orientations, and larger credential formats. Fabric card holders are the branded option. The exterior surface takes pad printing or full colour digital print, giving the holder a logo-bearing face whenever it is worn. These suit event organisers and corporate buyers who want the holder to carry branding rather than simply hold an ID.
An event organiser setting up a conference distributes PVC card holders to every delegate on arrival, the right size for the event pass, attached to a lanyard, and ready to display credentials across two days of sessions. The card is protected throughout, sits at chest height for easy reading, and doesn't need to be unpinned or removed to show identification at access points.
Fabric styles can be branded with pad printing or full colour digital print across the exterior surface. PVC styles are clear and display the insert card without external branding.
Good to Know
What sizes are available in PVC card holders?
PVC card holders come in multiple size configurations covering credit-card dimensions, A6 portrait, A5 landscape, and larger credential formats for conference passes and venue access. Each product specifies the insert size, so matching to an existing card format is straightforward.
What is the difference between PVC and fabric card holders?
PVC card holders are clear and show the insert card through the front face, used widely for conferences and workplaces without external branding on the holder. Fabric card holders have an opaque exterior that takes printed branding, making them the choice when the holder needs to carry a logo alongside the card.
Can PVC card holders be used with any lanyard?
PVC card holders fit any lanyard with a clip or lobster claw attachment, accommodating split rings, bulldog clips, and retractable reels. Ordering card holders alongside lanyards in a single run keeps sizing matched and delivery aligned.
What is the minimum order for card holders?
Both PVC and fabric card holders start at 100 units, with fabric styles taking 5–10 business days from artwork approval. PVC styles ship with the lanyard order without a separate branding production run.
