What are they used for?

Hotel groups and resorts

The key card is one item in a set. Carrier, door hanger and corridor signage are printed from the same artwork, at the same plant, on the same order.

Hospitality →

Access and entry

Badges need holders and lanyards that fit the badge exactly. Specify them with the credential, especially where the card is not a standard CR80.

Access control and security →

Membership and loyalty

A membership card in a printed carrier reads as a different product, and the carrier is easier to change than the card. Artwork is approved once for the order.

Retail and loyalty →

What is in the range

Six families, one order

Six families of add-on, all made in the plant that already makes the credential. None of them is a separate project. They are the rest of what a property or a programme has to buy anyway, and they are quoted on the same sheet as the cards.

Card sleeves and holders
Protects the card

The card sleeve is the add-on most card orders end up needing, and the one most often remembered too late. Sleeves and holders for cards and badges, printed with your artwork or supplied plain, made to the format of the card they hold. It is why we ask for the card before the artwork.

Available
PrintedPlain
Lanyards
Carries the badge

Printed lanyards for badges and passes, specified alongside the credential they carry rather than after it, so the fitting matches the slot in the badge.

Envelopes and carriers
Presents the card

The envelope or folded carrier the card arrives in, printed with your artwork. It is the first thing a guest or a member sees, and it is usually the last thing anybody specifies.

Door hangers

Printed door hangers for hotel rooms and resort suites, produced in the same plant and on the same order as the keys they sit beside.

Signage

Why order them with the credential?

Because every item on this page is made to fit something. Ordering the fit and the thing it fits separately is how sleeves end up not fitting cards.

What comes first
The credential, which everything is fitted to

Will it fit your card?

Send us the card or badge, or its exact dimensions. We confirm the fit before you order, rather than after a delivery arrives that does not.

What can we confirm?

The format you are working to, and whether a sleeve, holder or carrier is made to it. A physical sample settles it faster than a measurement does.

Where are the limits?

A special shape card needs its holder made to the same outline, so those two have to be specified together. Send the outline once and it covers both.

What do we recommend?

Put the accessory on the same order as the credential, in one specification. It is the only way to be certain the sleeve fits the card that actually turns up.

What do we need from you?

01

Your artwork

A print-ready PDF for print, a vector file for anything cut or engraved. One set covers the order.

02

The card or badge to fit

The card itself, or its exact dimensions. Every sleeve, holder and lanyard is made to it.

03

The items and quantity

Which pieces you need and roughly how many. An approximate number is enough to quote.

04

The delivery date

A rough date is enough to plan it. Standard production is 12 calendar days.

Questions we hear the most

Can we order accessories without ordering cards?

Yes, although most of these are made to fit a credential, so we will ask which one. Send the card or badge you already use, or its exact dimensions, and we work from that. The more common route is the other way round: a card order that adds sleeves, lanyards or carriers to the same sheet.

Can you print the artwork we send?

Yes, on all six families, and we adapt it for print where needed. Send print-ready files for anything printed and vector files for anything cut or engraved. One approved set of artwork usually covers the whole order.

Will a sleeve fit a special shape card?

Only if it is made to the same outline, so the card and the sleeve are specified together rather than one after the other. Send the outline once and it covers both.

What is the minimum order?

500 units per item, the same minimum as the rest of the range. Most accessories are added to a card, fob or wristband order, and the quantity usually follows that order.

Are the wooden accessories FSC certified?

Wooden cards are produced at an FSC certified facility (FSC-C195226). If an accessories order needs an FSC claim, ask before you quote it and we will tell you what can be claimed for that order.

Can everything go on one order?

Yes. Credential and accessories on the same order, produced in the same plant, against one set of approved artwork. It is also the only way to be sure the artwork on the carrier matches the artwork on the card.
