Vertical Badge Holder – Clear Zip Lock ID Card & Name Badge Sleeve
Our Vertical Badge Holder is a clear, flexible vinyl sleeve designed to protect ID cards, name badges, visitor passes and event credentials while keeping the information easy to read. This vertical ID card holder measures approximately 4.5 x 2.6 inches (114 x 66 mm) overall and has a zip-lock top to help protect the card from rain, splashes, dust and everyday handling. The three punched holes give you different attachment options for lanyards, hooks and clips. These vertical id holders are suitable for offices, conferences, exhibitions, schools, events and workplaces where badges need to stay visible and protected.

Technical Note
The stated 4.5 x 2.6 inch size is the approximate overall holder size. The usable internal card area will be slightly smaller because of the sealed edges, top fastening and punched section. If you are ordering holders for a specially sized event pass or printed insert, check your finished badge dimensions before placing a large order.
The zip-lock closure gives better protection than a completely open badge sleeve. It is suitable for normal rain, splashes and everyday workplace use, but it should not be treated as a pouch designed for prolonged underwater use.
Personalised ID Badge Printing
The vertical ID card holder is supplied as an accessory for holding your card, pass or printed badge. If you also need the actual badges printed, we offer this separately through our vertical ID card printing service.
Our personalised badge printing service can be used for:
- Staff ID badges
- Employee name badges
- Conference badges
- Delegate badges
- Exhibition passes
- Visitor badges
- Contractor passes
- Event name badges
- Photo ID cards
- Business and corporate badges
- Temporary identification cards
- Personal and individual badges
You can order the badge holder from Supplies Hub and arrange your personalised badge printing, ID badge printing or conference badge printing separately through Badge Printing website.
This is useful when you need a complete badge setup but want to order the holders and printed credentials separately.
Best Uses for Vertical ID Holders – Who Uses Them and Why?
Our vertical id holders work particularly well when the information on the card has been designed in portrait format rather than landscape format.
Conference and exhibition organisers use them for delegate names, company details, access levels, barcodes and QR codes. The clear sleeve protects printed conference credentials while keeping them visible.
Offices and corporate workplaces can use them for employee cards, temporary staff IDs, contractor passes and visitor identification.
Event companies can use them for crew passes, VIP credentials, backstage passes, press badges and staff identification.
Schools, colleges and universities can use them for staff cards, visitor passes, student identification and event badges.
Hotels and hospitality businesses can use them for conferences, meetings, exhibitions and temporary staff identification.
Security and facilities teams can use the holders where credentials need to remain visible while being protected from regular handling.
Individuals and small organisations can also order a single holder without having to purchase a full box.
Because the sleeve is flexible rather than a rigid plastic case, it is particularly useful for printed paper or card inserts as well as standard ID-style credentials.

Related Product – Badge Clips
A useful product to order alongside this holder is our Badge Clips.
The three punched holes at the top of the sleeve allow compatible badge clips and hooks to be attached without making a hole in the printed ID card itself.
Badge clips are useful where the wearer does not need a full neck lanyard, particularly for:
- Office staff
- Security staff
- Contractors
- Temporary workers
- Visitor passes
- Staff uniforms
- Short-term workplace identification
Use Your Vertical Badge Holder with Our Lanyards
This holder is designed to work particularly well with lanyards.
The three-hole punched top gives more attachment flexibility than a sleeve with only one fixed mounting point. A compatible lanyard hook can normally be connected through the centre hole, while the outer holes can be used for compatible two-point attachment systems.
Combining a vertical ID card holder with a lanyard gives you a practical complete badge setup for conferences, exhibitions, offices, schools and events.
Supplies Hub stocks lanyards alongside our badge holders, clips and other ID card accessories, so customers can source the main components of their badge setup from one UK supplier.
Vertical Badge Holder FAQs
1. What does the three-hole punched top do?
The three holes provide different attachment points. The centre hole can be used with many standard lanyard hooks or compatible badge clips. The two outer holes can also support compatible two-point attachments. This can help keep a larger vertical credential facing forward instead of turning as easily as some single-point setups.
Always check the type and width of your lanyard hook or clip against the punched holes before ordering large quantities.
2. Is the vertical badge holder completely waterproof?
The zip-lock top helps protect the badge against rain, splashes, moisture, dust and dirt during normal use. It provides more protection than an open-top sleeve.
However, it should not be considered a fully sealed underwater pouch. It is intended for credentials worn at events, workplaces and similar everyday environments rather than prolonged submersion in water.
3. Does a standard plastic ID card fit inside this holder?
The holder measures approximately 4.5 x 2.6 inches (114 x 66 mm) overall. Standard bank-card-size ID cards are approximately 85.6 x 54 mm, so this style of holder can be suitable for many standard ID applications.
However, the overall sleeve measurement is not the same as the usable internal pocket measurement. The sealed edges, zip-lock and punched header use some of the total space. If your card or conference insert is close to the maximum dimensions, check the internal dimensions before making a bulk order.
4. Why choose a vertical holder instead of a horizontal badge holder?
Choose a vertical holder when your card or printed credential has a portrait layout.
Vertical layouts are commonly used where a badge contains a photograph, person’s name, company name, job title, access level, QR code or barcode arranged from top to bottom.
A horizontal holder is normally better when the printed badge itself has been designed in landscape format. Matching the holder orientation to the badge design keeps the information easier to read.
5. Can I reuse these vertical ID holders for different events or staff?
Yes. The zip-lock design allows the card or printed insert to be removed and replaced.
This makes the holder suitable for businesses and event organisers who want to keep the sleeves and change the printed inserts between conferences, visitors, temporary staff or events.
To extend the life of the holder, open the zip-lock carefully rather than pulling hard on the punched section, and avoid storing the flexible vinyl folded or underneath heavy objects.
