When did life become so fast and complicated? It seems even just trying to buy some cheap plastic vinyl flexible card holders needs a degree in physics and architecture! Why is this so? Let's just take a minute today to cut through to the important things to consider in your search for Event Badge Holders, Conference card holders or even Staff photo ID card holders.
Here are the simple steps:
1. Measure the dimensions of the card to be inserted into the flexible card holder.
i. Width = mm
ii. Height = mm
iii. Thickness = mm (of insert)
2. Is the ID card Landscape or Portrait?
3. Do you want an eco friendly card holder?
4. Do you want different coloured card holders so that you can easily distinguish 'groups' of people at your event eg VIP's vs Staff?
5. Is it just for 1 card or do you need a multi card holder?
Now comes the 'trick'. You will need to add a few mm's to your dimensions as otherwise it is just too hard to slip the photo ID or Event Pass into the holder. Also, don't forget to allow enough room for the thickness of the card insert.
So, no more broken nails or wasted time in stuffing tight fitting cards into their holders. Look at our complete range online or buy direct from our Online store www.identityaustralia.com.au
Enjoy your conference!

Who says you can’t make lanyards out of soft drink bottles? The latest rage in lanyards has to do with environmentally friendly materials – and YES, the humble recycled coke® plastic bottle may now be hanging around your neck! PET plastics are now crumbled and reprocessed into a fibre which is woven into a lanyard material.
When Identity Australia first started selling lanyards just on 20 years ago, we were constrained by the fabrics and attachments of the day. After all, who would have wanted to hang a heavy ‘mobile phone’ - 1996 vintage - around their neck? Today life is very different.
Environmentally friendly lanyards have become fashionable. Lanyards such as:
- Bamboo fibre - biodegradable lanyards
- PET (those recycled coke® bottles!) lanyards
- Polyester containing ‘virgin’ fibre plus ‘recycled’ content lanyards
- PVC lanyards
- Sustainable fibre options (renewable resources) lanyards
The different types of standard lanyards readily available include;
- Polyester – soft or coarse woven, flat tube or flat strip. Reinforced. Reflective.
- Nylon – a stylish ‘sheen’
- Satin ribbon
Customised lanyards are designed by us according to a brief from our customer. They will typically include a company logo, company approved PMS colours, a slogan or theme and an attachment suitable for the purpose. For a conference it will be a card holder attachment, but for a promotional item it may be for a USB hub complete with the customer’s catalogue and price list! The variations are vast and we help our customers decide which lanyard idea will support their purpose with the most impact. Check out our Design-A-Lanyard Page.
With increasing customer awareness, lanyards have had to morph into an ‘OH&S’ compliant item with the addition of a safety breakaway inserted into the fabric. The functionality has also been increased by the use of detachable buckles – allowing the lanyard to remain around the neck while the end section can be detached for ease of use, e.g. for keys.
Lanyards are now incorporated with a retractable mini reel to allow items such as access cards to be extended from the body.
So, when you next need a lanyard for a job, think outside the square and imagine where that lanyard will end up after its original purpose – it might just be an advertising opportunity for your client for the next 10 years!
I was recently relaxing down the South Coast. Sun, surf, kids playing and lots of people. It was very enjoyable until the Police turned up at the skate park. A 10 year old boy had gone missing. It is a feeling of panic that you never want to experience firsthand. It made me think that we should use photo ID cards to help protect our kids all year round. Normally they would have their bus pass or school photo ID with them, but not when they are on holidays!
Photo ID cards can be produced for your kids simply by sending a photo and contact details to Identity Australia’s ID Card Bureau via email. Why not produce a small quantity of photo ID cards for your kids to keep on them for next holidays? You can even have self adhesive photo ID cards made with the same details – and stick them to the back of their mobile phone, scooter deck, skateboard and bike frame. This small initiative may be a simple way to keep your kids identifiable next holidays

Our Thoughts...
It seems that we are constantly being issued with some sort of identity card or ID cards as they are commonly referred to as. You go to the Government and they give you a photo ID card called a drivers licence. You go to work and they issue you with a Staff ID card, an Access card (or prox card), a name badge or name card on which is placed your photo ID. It seems to me that if Australia had adopted the ‘Australia Card’ we would have a lot more room in our wallets or purses! The problem now is that most of the identity cards we possess do not have the level of security that was envisaged in the Australia Card.
So, if your business, club or event needs to create identity cards for your staff or club members, we suggest you speak with our technical consultants so that you can create the level of security required for your ID card holders. ID card printers such as Datacard, Evolis,Fargo, Magicard and Zebra come with different security features for the creation of a photo ID card or name badge.
Let us determine whether you need a card like the type to access ‘The Bank of England’ or perhaps it is just the local ‘Council Library’ type card, or something in between. We even have a design service and extended ID Printer warranties available on our Datacard range of id card printers. The most popular brands and range such as Zebra P330i and Datacard CD800 are available for demonstration on site*.
