Questions about custom ID holders

Are staff and student holders counted together?

Usually 1,000–3,000 holders per style and color. Quantities depend on role markings and orientation.

How much does a sample holder cost?

A sample holder usually takes 5–7 calendar days. Its fee covers the body, window, attachment and print. We credit 50% toward the related bulk order and give separate time estimates for production and transit.

Can one holder format serve students and staff?

Yes. Border colors, body colors or printed roles can vary with the same pocket size and attachment.

Can you print the logo clear of the photo?

Yes. A suitable border or opaque panel can carry the logo, leaving the photo visible through the window.

Can clips or straps be packed separately?

Yes. Fittings can come in the holder pack or in separate groups for assembly at school.
