Card sleeves, holders, lanyards, carriers, door hangers, signage and wooden pieces, printed from your artwork to fit the credential.
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 →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 →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 →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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A print-ready PDF for print, a vector file for anything cut or engraved. One set covers the order.
The card itself, or its exact dimensions. Every sleeve, holder and lanyard is made to it.
Which pieces you need and roughly how many. An approximate number is enough to quote.
A rough date is enough to plan it. Standard production is 12 calendar days.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Read the guide →How PVC, recycled PVC, wood and PET differ across the credential and the pieces around it.
Read the guide →Why 0.76 mm is the number every encoder is built around, and what a sleeve has to fit.
Read the guide →The credential most systems start from, in PVC, recycled PVC or wood, with sleeves and holders made to fit.
RFID & NFC cards →The same chip, encoded the same way, for people who carry keys rather than a wallet. The reader cannot tell them apart.
Key fobs →Where a card is impractical, for guests or members. Same chips, so cards and bands run on one site.
Wristbands →Ask for a free sample in your material and chip.
