Why Choose Rigid Badge Holders?

If you are looking to purchase badge holders for your company or event, and want to buy something that goes above and beyond the typical badge holder, you might want to consider rigid badge holders. Rather than having a simple sleeve that people can slide their badge or ID into, these badge holders are made out of firm plastic that that hold the ID cards rigidly.

These are truly a step above common badge holders, and as a result, they are bit more expensive than other models. But they have a few interesting features and boast a lot of impressive advantages that help them justify their price.

Here are the primary advantage and ways that rigid badge holders are used by companies and events.

Holds Two ID Cards - One of the unique features of the rigid badge holders is that they have room for two different ID cards. This can obviously be helpful in cases where employees might have to carry two different ID cards. Instead of having your primary ID card in your badge holder and you high security access ID card in your wallet, for example, you can carry them both in your rigid badge holder.

Provides Extra Protection - Many companies with low turnover rates choose rigid badge holders to cut down on the need to replace IDs for their employees. Since the IDs are afforded an extra level of protection, ID cards take a lot longer to wear out. Both the image and text on any company issued ID can stay clear and visible for a much longer period of time. This doesn’t just decrease the hassles of having to replace ID badges, it also reduces the expense. These kinds of savings can add up if your run particularly large company.

Won’t Fold - If you want your ID cards looking their best, you should make sure that they never fold. Folding card can leave stress marks and cracks that not only tarnish their appearance, but might also harm their functionality if they have a magnetic strip.

Ideal for Smart chip Cards - If your ID cards have a "smart chip" installed, a rigid badge holder should be considered an essential piece of equipment. While ID cards that have a magnetic strip can survive rough treatment and still be usable, smart chips are much more fragile. If the computer chip in the card is bent or scratched too severely, it won’t just probably render the chip useless, but you will lose any data stored on the chip.

By placing the smart chip-embedded ID card in a rigid badge holder, you take extra precautions against this from happing. It keeps the ID perfectly protected and rigid, which will save you the hassle and money that would otherwise be required to replace the card.
