Smart Ways to Store and Protect Your ID Cards
If you use an ID badge every day—at work, school, or events—you understand the importance of keeping it safe, visible, and functional. From wear and tear to security concerns, using the right badge accessories can make your daily routine easier and more professional.
At All Things Identification, we provide real solutions to protect and display your credentials—whether you're in healthcare, security, education, or corporate environments.
How to Protect and Display Your ID Card
Durable Badge Holders
Choose the right badge holder based on how you use your ID:
-
For simple daily use, our clear badge wallets are lightweight and practical.
-
For more rugged environments, a rigid card holder offers strong protection and easy scanning access.
Functional Lanyards
Lanyards are a classic way to wear your badge while keeping your hands free:
-
The vinyl neck strap is simple, comfortable, and durable.
-
The 5/8" breakaway lanyard with quick-lock reel adds safety and convenience for active workplaces.
Badge Reels
Need to swipe your badge frequently? Badge reels offer flexibility and convenience:
-
Try the black lanyard badge reel for basic functionality.
-
The translucent blue carabiner reel adds a pop of color and style.
-
For a polished look, go with our chrome metallic badge reel.
Arm Band Holders
If neck or waist options get in the way, arm band holders provide a secure alternative:
-
The vertical arm band badge holder with zipper is perfect for fast-paced settings like warehouses or field work.
Carry Multiple IDs with Ease
If you need to carry several ID cards, credentials, or visitor passes, a multi-card badge holder helps keep things organized without adding bulk. These are ideal for supervisors, security staff, or anyone managing multiple access points.
Combining Digital and Physical Credentials
While digital IDs are becoming more common, it’s still important to carry a physical card as backup. Using a dual-purpose holder or reel helps you keep both your physical and mobile credentials accessible at all times.
How to Properly Dispose of Old Badges
Disposing of old ID cards correctly helps prevent identity theft and maintains workplace security:
-
Always cut or shred old badges to remove personal data.
-
For proximity or RFID cards, break the embedded chip by bending the card.
-
For environmentally conscious operations, ask us about rewritable ID cards—a reusable and secure alternative.
Printing Your Own ID Cards?
If you print cards in-house, you’ll need high-quality ribbons and supplies:
-
We offer a full selection of YMCKO color ribbons, monochrome ribbons, and cleaning kits compatible with all major printer brands.
