Securing ID cards correctly: How to choose the right accessories
There is a wide range of fastening systems available for ID cards, Name Tags and other identification items. The ideal system for you depends on the intended use, how often it will be used, and your personal preference. We can help you find the best solution for your needs.
An overview of our fastening systems
ID card holders with clips (ID card clips)
ID Clips are the classic choice for use with slotted ID card holders. The plastic loop is simply threaded through the long slot in the holder and secured. The clip itself can be securely attached to pockets, lapels or shirt pockets – ideal for stationary use or occasional presentation.
ID yo-yos: The solution for access control
An ID yo-yo offers maximum flexibility. Thanks to the retractable lanyard with automatic retraction, you do not need to remove the ID from your body to hold it up to a reader. This is particularly efficient for electronic time recording or frequently used door access systems.
Lanyards / Neck Key Holders: Comfortable to wear around the neck
Lanyards / Neck Key Holders are the most comfortable way to carry ID cards. The ID card hangs clearly visible in front of the chest and is always within easy reach. Lanyards are particularly popular at trade fairs and conferences, as they can be worn comfortably for long periods and do not damage clothing with clips.
Name Tags with safety pin, clip or magnet
Our Name Tags are the first choice for business cards or printed paper inserts. They are available with various fastenings: whilst the safety pin offers a secure hold, the magnetic fastening protects delicate fabrics such as suits or blouses.
Protection and functionality with high-quality ID card holders
An ID card holder fulfils two purposes at once: it protects your valuable plastic cards or admission tickets from creases and scratches and provides the necessary opening (slot or round hole) to attach the card to clips, yo-yos or lanyards in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the advantage of a magnetic name tag?
The magnetic fastening holds the badge securely to your clothing without leaving any holes. This is a particular advantage with delicate fabrics such as silk or high-quality jackets.

Our lanyards are primarily designed for ID cards and card holders. For heavy items, we offer special, reinforced versions to prevent them from unwinding unintentionally.
