Card Holders

Card holders complete a lanyard: without the right holder, a lanyard is half a system. PVC styles come in clear plastic holders across multiple sizes (covering ID card, A6, A5, portrait, landscape, and larger conference credential formats) that slide onto any lanyard and keep the insert card on show through the front face. They are the volume item for conferences, workplace ID programmes, and any access control setup where a card needs to be worn consistently. Fabric styles add a branded exterior with pad printing or full colour digital print, suited to setups where both the lanyard and the holder carry the organisation's branding.

A conference organiser who pairs a branded lanyard with a fabric card holder puts the organisation's name on two elements of every delegate's wearable ID: the strap at the neck and the face of the holder at chest height. At a busy event floor, that combination means the brand is present at every interaction: check-in, session entry, and every networking conversation in between.

Fabric styles can be branded with pad printing or full colour digital print on the holder exterior. PVC styles are clear and display the insert card through the front face without external branding on the holder.

Before You Order

What card holder sizes are available?

PVC card holders come in multiple size configurations covering credit-card dimensions, A6 portrait, A5 landscape, and larger formats for conference passes and access control. The insert size is specified on each product, so matching to an existing card before ordering avoids sizing mismatches on the day.

What is the difference between PVC and fabric card holders?

PVC card holders keep the insert card on display through the front face without external branding, while fabric card holders have a solid exterior that takes pad printing or full colour digital print. A fully branded conference setup typically pairs fabric card holders with printed lanyards.

Do I need to order card holders separately from lanyards?

Card holders and lanyards are separate products, and ordering both together consolidates delivery and keeps quantities matched. Lanyards Only stocks both, so a single order covers the complete lanyard-and-holder setup.

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 need no branding production run and ship ready to use.
