When I talk to customers, I hear a lot of frustrations about ID accessories from other companies that don’t hold up to the test of time. Purchasing ID accessories for your entire team can be an expensive and time consuming process. After all, you want to make sure everyone has the equipment they need to display their ID cards. When your ID accessories don’t last, employees are left without properly displayed identification.

That’s why I’m excited about our new ID Grippers ID accessories, patent –pending. The new line of accessories is made out of silicone, so they’re durable and long lasting. Plus, the new line includes lanyards, bade holders, and all-in-one lanyards and badge holders, so you can satisfy all your identification display needs with a uniform look.

I’m recommending ID Grippers to my customers because of their many unique benefits:

Washable.  It may surprise you that ID accessories are a common carrier of germs. Prevent the spread of germs and maintain a healthier workplace by washing your ID Grippers accessories.

Durable. The silicone material is designed to be long-lasting. It won’t tear or break, so you know your ID accessory investment will last.

All-in-One Options. Save money, time, and hassle for your employees with an all-in-one display option. Available in the ID Grippers line, you can equip your staff with a one-piece solution that displays their ID badge in a lanyard and keeps it properly displayed with the badge holder attachment.

Non-Metal Construction. If you work in healthcare, manufacturing, or security, metal can be the bane of your existence. It conflicts with machinery and requires you to remove your badge every time you walk through a metal detector. Because ID Grippers are made completely of silicone, you can wear them with confidence through metal detectors and near sensitive machinery.

ID Grippers are becomign a fast ID accessory favorite with our customers. Learn more about them today by calling to talk to me or one of our knowledgeable service representatives! Contact IDville at 1.866.438.4553.

I am excited to announce the addition of of 95 new ID badge accessories to the IDville offering! The new products are now available for sale through our website and catalog.

Included in the product launch is a new proprietary line of ID badge accessories, ID GrippersTM, patent-pending. A durable, non-metal option for displaying ID cards, ID Grippers lanyards and badge holders are made of silicone so they don’t tear or fray.  They are a great solution for work environments that don’t tolerate metal, such as hospitals, and can be washed to prevent the spread of germs. We have always made product innovation a top priority at IDville, and we expect ID Grippers to be as popular with our customers as our ID Maker software and systems.

We also expanded our PVC ID card category. The new PVC cards offer additional security and cost saving options. You can now choose from two new hologram designs, matte finish, or recycled PVC ID cards.

New Reusable Rewritable PVC ID cards, which we’re especially excited about, provide an affordable solution for visitor identification. These ID cards are ideal for organizations that print badges for visitors or temporary employees. The cards do not require a printer ribbon and can be reused, so it’s a very cost effective option.

We’ve also increased our meeting planning supplies. The new EZ Meeting Kit assists meeting and event planners by compiling lanyards, badge holders, and name badges with a convenient travel case. To make your event planning even easier, we will even print, assemble, organize, and ship completed badges directly to the meeting location!

Lanyards, Badge Reels, and Badge Holders all Featured in New Product Category

Just because the Fourth of July is over doesn’t mean you have to put away your red, white, and blue! We recently created a new product category on IDville.com for ID accessories made in the USA. The category includes lanyards, retractable badge reels, and more.

If you order on behalf of a school, government agency, or even business office, made in the USA products may be a requirement for your organization. Although made in the USA ID accessories have always been an important part of our offering, it hasn’t been easy to find them online. Now you can shop all made in the USA ID accessories in one place!

The new product category is highlighted on the homepage of IDville.com and also available under the ID accessories menu. You can easily find it on the homepage thanks to the red, white, and blue ID accessories image.

We are committed to supporting USA companies and offering made in the USA and plan to expand this category in the future. Continue to watch for new products!

Many of us are required to wear our employee ID badge at all times while working. If you’re anything like me, or if your employees are anything like me, they fight tooth and nail to try to get away without wearing their badge – why?

Well, for me it’s an issue of “This badge reel doesn’t go with my outfit.” Or, “I’d rather wear a fashionable necklace than this boring, scratchy lanyard.” Our accessories are what set us apart from the rest of the world, especially in a uniform environment. It’s the way we show our personality at work – and a flat woven breakaway royal blue lanyard with a clip just isn’t cutting the mustard!

So when I found these fashionable – not gaudy – beaded lanyards and embellished badge reels, I was so excited I had to add them to the IDville product line! The silver spring beaded lanyard is my favorite – it goes with anything and dresses it up with a classy touch of silver and glass beads. If I’m feeling colorful, I’ll grab my frosted fun beaded lanyard for the day. The snap strap makes it so easy to interchange my ID with my lanyard selection to fit my outfit for the day.

Check out all of our fashion accessories today! Whether you’re buying for yourself or for your team, you’ll be glad you did!

Earth Day is this Friday, April 22, and many schools and companies will be celebrating with education and service projects. Earth Day is a worldwide event and many organizations use this day to demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection and sustainability.

Even your ID accessories can promote your commitment to the environment for this year’s Earth Day. We have products that are made from recycled materials, so you can feel good about your ID card accessories.

Our Recycled Custom Lanyards are the most popular eco-friendly option in our store. Each lanyard is made from recycled soda bottles! Similar to our other custom lanyards, you can choose the color, attachment, and message for this lanyard. This option is perfect for Earth Day and every day!

You can display your ID card in a Biodegradable Badge Holder. These badge holders are made from a corn-based film, so they won’t fill up a landfill. The biodegradable badge holder is available in three different attachment options, too.

Create eco-friendly ID cards with our Recycled Name Badge Stock. You can create 300 badges with one box of this paper, which is made from 100% recycled paper stock. This paper option is compatible with all printers and perforates for easy badge assembly.

At IDville, we’re doing our part to conserve the environment by using paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for all of our catalogs. The FSC logo on IDville catalogs lets you know that the paper materials came from a forest that meets the FSC forest management standards. Paper materials for IDville are harvested from forests in Wisconsin, which has more FSC certified forestland than any other state and adds more new fiber than it harvests every year.

We’re doing our small part to protect and conserve the environment, and we hope you will, too! Happy Earth Day!

At IDville, we’ve worked closely with our customers to understand that different industries have different security needs. Education, healthcare, and manufacturing especially have varying photo ID card requirements to keep their staff, patients, and students safe. We recently launched new healthcare ID card products and education ID card products to help all organizations display their ID cards correctly. Here are some of our new products and old favorites that you should consider using in your organization:

Healthcare
Hospitals, doctor offices, nursing homes, and other healthcare organizations all have a responsibility to protect their staff and patients from both external and internal threats, including germs! ID cards can collect germs and bacteria over time and transport them from room to room. For a healthier alternative, use antimicrobial lanyards that prevent the spread of germs, and request staff display ID cards in sealable badge holders to protect cards from germs

Healthcare ID card accessories:

Antimicrobial lanyards - Avoid the spread of germs
Fun shape badge reel lanyards - Perfect for pediatric specialists!
Medical badge reel with plastic clip - Allows for comfortable wear against skin
Sealable badge holders - Protect cards from germs, keeps card clean
Medical position identity cards - Fit neatly behind ID cards, make positions readily visible to patients, visitors, etc. Cards say Doctor, LPN, RN, and Staff.

Education
Security should always be a top priority at schools, so equipping staff, students, and teachers with the proper identification is important. To ensure your school members are properly displaying their ID cards, give them the right accessories to wear.

Education ID card accessories:

USB lanyard – Teachers can carry important data with them.
Pedia pals badge reels - Children will enjoy this fun alternative to a basic badge reel.
Child size and adjustable lanyards – Keep children safe with the proper sized lanyard.
Breakaway lanyards – Available in several lanyard designs, the breakaway option prevents choking or injury.  
 

Manufacturing
Manufacturing facilities need special security to ensure the safety of their people, facility, machinery, and investments. You can identify manufacturing employees safely with the right ID card accessories that won’t get caught in machinery or get in the way.

Manufacturing ID card accessories:

Heavy duty badge reel - A durable and long lasting option for the roughest of environments.
Metal belt clip – A functional and sturdy display option.
