Metal Chest ID Card Holders with Clip & Pin – Horizontal Name Badge Sleeves
Our Metal Chest ID Card Holders with Clip & Pin are designed for displaying employee names, visitor identification, conference passes and staff badges directly on clothing. Each horizontal badge holder measures approximately 90 x 56 mm (3.54 x 2.2 inches) and features a clear, flexible PVC pocket with a metal clip and safety pin fastening. The transparent front keeps printed names, company logos and identification details visible while helping protect the paper insert from everyday handling.

Best Uses for Metal Chest ID Card Holders – Who Uses Them and Why?
These horizontal name badge holders with metal clips and pins are especially useful where identification needs to be displayed on clothing without requiring a neck lanyard.
Corporate Offices and Business Meetings
Offices use chest name badge holders for employees, visitors, temporary workers, training sessions and corporate meetings.
The horizontal pocket provides space for a printed name, company logo, job title or department.
The metal clip allows the badge to be attached to a suitable shirt pocket, jacket edge or other compatible part of the clothing.
Trade Shows, Exhibitions and Conventions
Exhibition organisers use clip-on badge holders for exhibitors, event personnel, reception teams and business delegates.
They are particularly useful for smaller events where a simple printed name badge is preferred over a large conference lanyard.
The holder can be reused for future events by replacing the printed insert.
Schools, Colleges and University Functions
Educational organisations can use horizontal badge holders for teachers, visiting professionals, temporary staff, parent events and school functions.
The transparent pocket allows identification details to remain readable while protecting the paper insert from normal handling.
Safety pin use should be assessed where badges may be worn by children.
Visitor Identification and Workplace Security
Offices, warehouses, reception areas and business centres often issue temporary visitor identification.
A clip and pin ID badge holder allows a visitor’s name, company and visitor status to be displayed without needing a permanent plastic ID card.
After the visit, the printed insert can be removed and the holder reused where appropriate.
Hotels, Hospitality and Customer Service
Hotels, conference venues, hospitality businesses and event companies can use these holders for temporary staff identification, training events, promotional activities and meetings.
The two fastening options allow staff to choose a suitable way of attaching the badge to their uniform.
Training Courses, Seminars and Staff Meetings
Training providers, seminar organisers and companies hosting internal meetings can use reusable badge holders for attendees.
Printed names can be inserted before the session, helping participants identify colleagues, speakers and trainers.

However, Supplies Hub also stocks Lanyards and compatible ID card holders for businesses that need different identification systems.
For example, a conference organiser may use chest badge holders for speakers and temporary staff while issuing lanyards and larger ID sleeves to delegates.

Metal Chest ID Card Holders – Top 5 FAQs
- What is the difference between the metal clip and safety pin on this badge holder?
The two fastening methods provide different ways of attaching the badge to clothing.
The metal clip can grip a suitable shirt pocket, jacket edge or clothing seam without requiring the user to pierce the fabric.
The safety pin passes through the clothing material and may provide a more secure attachment where there is no suitable edge for clipping.
For delicate or expensive clothing, the clip is usually the better option because a safety pin may leave a small hole.
Always check that the chosen fastening is suitable for the workplace and clothing material.
- What size printed name badge fits inside this horizontal holder?
The holder’s stated overall dimensions are 90 mm wide x 56 mm high.
However, this does not necessarily mean a 90 x 56 mm printed insert will fit inside the pocket.
The sealed PVC edges reduce the usable internal dimensions, so the insert must be slightly smaller than the available space.
Before printing a large batch, measure the internal opening and create a test insert.
A standard CR80 ID card measures approximately 85.6 x 54 mm, but the overall holder measurements alone are not enough to confirm that a CR80 card will fit.
- Can these badge holders be reused for different visitors or employees?
Yes. These clear PVC badge holders are suitable for reusable identification systems where the printed insert can be removed and replaced.
For example, an office can use the same holders for different visitors throughout the week, while an event company can reuse them for future meetings and exhibitions.
The transparent pocket protects the printed insert from direct handling, although the PVC may eventually show wear or scratches after repeated use.
Avoid forcing oversized or excessively thick inserts into the pocket, as this can damage the sealed edges.
- Is a metal chest badge holder better than a lanyard for conferences?
It depends on the type of event and how the badge will be used.
A metal chest ID badge holder is useful for smaller printed name badges that need to sit directly on clothing.
This can work well for networking events, business meetings, seminars and staff identification.
A lanyard is often more suitable for larger conference passes, delegate badges and credentials that need to hang visibly around the neck.
Chest badges are generally better for simple name identification, while lanyards are often preferred for event access credentials and larger printed passes.
- Does the clear PVC pocket protect the printed badge from water and damage?
The clear PVC pocket provides a protective layer against direct handling, light dirt and everyday wear.
It can help reduce damage to paper name inserts compared with wearing an uncovered printed badge.
However, the holder should not be considered completely waterproof unless it has a specifically designed sealed closure.
Water may enter through the pocket opening during heavy rain or immersion.
For outdoor events or environments requiring stronger moisture protection, a sealed zip-lock badge holder may be a better choice.
