Badge holder lanyards

At Gift Campaign, our catalogue includes a wide range of name badges. Our main goal is not only to offer affordable products, but also to adapt to the needs of each customer and occasion.

On the one hand, we offer transparent badge holders. These are a simple solution for events and large quantities. They are available in both vertical and horizontal formats, so it is important to check the format of the card that will be inserted beforehand.

On the other hand, rigid badge holders or clip-on models offer better protection for the card and can be worn directly on clothing. They are a popular choice for internal staff, reception teams and other situations where discreet and secure identification is required.

Finally, retractable models feature an extendable cord that makes it easier to present the badge to turnstiles, card readers or access control points. We recommend prioritising these models when the card needs to be used repeatedly throughout the day, as they eliminate the need to remove and reattach it constantly.

After managing more than 190 orders for personalised badge holders, we have found that the choice mainly depends on how the badge will be used. An attendee at a conference for a few hours does not need the same type of holder as an employee who uses their access card several times a day.

• For trade shows, conferences and events: transparent sleeves combined with a lanyard are often one of the most practical options, as they allow the attendee's name, company or accreditation type to be displayed clearly.
• For offices, reception areas and spaces with access control: we recommend considering clip-on models or retractable badge holders. The latter are particularly convenient when the card needs to be presented to a reader frequently without removing it from clothing.

We also offer custom name badges in our collection of made-to-measure products, an interesting option when the badge holder itself needs to play a more prominent role within the company's visual identity. Some of our favourite examples include this retractable model with carabiner.

After more than 10 years working with corporate merchandise across 7 different regions, we have learnt that there is little point in putting your logo on a name badge if it is not clearly visible or the print quality is not up to standard.

For this reason, our main recommendation is to customise smaller badge holders with simple, easily recognisable logos, avoiding very small text or designs containing too many elements. A detailed logo may work well on screen but lose its legibility when reduced to fit the available printing area.

We also recommend ensuring sufficient contrast between the colour of the holder and the logo, particularly if brand visibility is a priority. In this case, you may also want to combine the badge holder with branded lanyards, increasing the visible area available for incorporating colours, names or other elements of your corporate identity.

Before production begins, you will receive a free digital proof so that you can see how the chosen model will look with your customisation. Use this stage to check the logo size, positioning and legibility.
