Badge Inserts

Badge inserts are printed cards or sheets placed inside ID holders or badge reels to display a name, title, company logo, barcode, or access credentials; they are used for employee identification, events, security access, and visitor badges

Choose inserts that match your badge holder size (common sizes include CR80/standard credit-card size and smaller event badges); formats include single-sided or double-sided cards and perforated sheets for multiple badges per page—measure your holders before ordering

PVC or coated cardstock offers durable, professional-looking inserts for long-term use, while laminated paper is a lower-cost option; consider full-color printing for logos and text clarity and UV or scratch-resistant coatings if badges will be handled frequently

Quantity depends on usage—small offices often order packs of 50–250, while large organizations or events may need hundreds or thousands; badge inserts range widely in price depending on material and customization, with average category prices typically in the low hundreds for small to medium customized orders

Yes; many buyers print at office printers or print shops using templates matching the badge size (commonly 3.375 × 2.125 inches for CR80) and high-resolution files (300 DPI) in PDF, PNG, or TIFF with bleed and safe-margin guides provided by the supplier

Avoid bending, excessive moisture, and direct sunlight; use protective holders or laminating sleeves for frequent use, and store spare inserts flat in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or color fading

Typical options include single- or double-sided printing, variable data (names and IDs), full-color logos, barcodes or QR codes, numbered or serialized prints, rounded corners, and lamination or special coatings
