How to choose
If you're ordering lanyard card holders in bulk for a conference or desk-based team, start with the card size and how the holder will sit on the person. Clear PVC pouches suit event passes and inserts that need the name visible at a glance. Magnetic-backed badge holders feel tidier on shirts, while retractable badge reels suit access cards that are pulled out often. Metal badges read more formally and hold a small logo or name cleanly.
Then check the artwork limits. Small print areas can lose fine detail, especially on compact name tags. Full-colour digital print helps with logos and names that need colour, while one-colour pad print keeps things crisp on simpler shapes. For mixed roles or sites, confirm which styles are being worn, how the badges will be issued and the required date before ordering. Production timing depends on stock, artwork and branding method.

Minimums start at 50 units in this range; each product states its own minimum order. Unit price depends on quantity, so ask for a stepped quote across the quantities you are weighing up.
How long does production take for custom name badges & id card holders?
Between 2–8 weeks from artwork approval, depending on the product — each product page states its own production window. Freight time depends on your destination and is quoted with the order.

Samples are charged at cost plus freight up front, and we credit the sample cost back on orders of 100+ units (and for returning customers) — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order. Branded pre-production samples are also available with a setup fee that's credited back on the full order.
What are custom name badges & id card holders typically used for?
Most of this range is chosen for conferences, trade shows and delegate kits. Tell Sense2 the occasion, the recipients and the quantity and we will point you to the right pieces for the brief.
How do I choose between custom name badges, holders and reels?
Start with how the wearer uses it. If the name needs to be seen once and worn all day, a badge or holder is usually enough. If the card is swiped often, a reel makes more sense. The room, uniform and audience all change the right call.
Which branding methods work on badge reels and holder styles?
Methods depend on the model. Some products take pad print or full-colour digital print, while others suit engraving or personalised data print. The artwork area is small on many pieces, so logo detail and text size need a quick check before final artwork.
Can a bulk order of lanyard card holders mix staff names and visitor passes?
Yes, mixed sets are common. Staff names, temporary visitors and role labels can all sit in the same order, but each format still needs the right layout. It helps to separate the final list by style so the print file and inserts stay tidy.
What should I plan for conference badge holders and event passes?
Lead time depends on stock, artwork and branding method, so it is best to confirm the required date before ordering. Conference badge holders and event passes are often tied to registration deadlines, room access and check-in flow, so the exact finish matters.
Are clear PVC, metal and bamboo options treated the same?
No. Clear PVC pouches, metal badges and bamboo lanyards each have their own finish, print area and look. A clean logo on one product may not suit another. Check the individual specification if the artwork needs a precise size, colour match or a particular feel.
What happens after I approve the digital proof?
Once you approve the digital proof, the order moves to production using the confirmed artwork and layout. Any later change can affect the schedule, so it is worth checking names, titles and spellings carefully before approval.
Names lined up at check-in
Names lined up at check-in, and the table settles into its usual order. Clear pouches sit beside the printed cards, the badge reels wait where a hand will reach for them, and the metal badges are kept close for the roles that need a steadier finish. No one is looking for theatre. They just want the right name in the right place before the next person steps forward. The useful part is the small pause when the badge goes into the hand and the queue keeps moving without fuss.
