Plastic pocket folders for Lanyards
Plastic pocket folders for lanyards are those
little plasticky things in which you slid in your
ID card which is then attached to the end of the
lanyard. The standard size of the plastic
pockets for lanyards is usually 80mm x 60mm or
similar. But then that is because most ID
cards fall in that range. But often,
companies do not follow the norms and can
sometimes be looking to stand out from the crowd.
They love to be different and because they also
have large numbers of staff (and therefore
capable of issuing large orders for plastic
pocket folders for lanyards), suppliers for
plastic pocket folders for lanyards will
custom produce plastic pocket folders of
whatever shape and size demanded by the
customer. There are two types of raw plastic
that are used in the making of plastic pocket
folders. The first is a super thin, super
transparent plastic. This one results in very
soft plastic pockets folders and is ideal for
sliding in identity cards printed on paper or
cardboards. The second type of material is
slightly thicker plastic. This one results
in harder plastic pocket folders and is ideal
for sliding in identity cards printed on hard
plastic (like keyless entry cards). It is very
rigid and can last for months at a time making it
ideal for heavy duty use. Irrespective of which
of the above two raw materials is used, the
identity card is clearly visible if there is any
bar code or QR code on the card, then it can be
easily read by any scanner. This is ideal
for use at entrances or security points
where people need to be scanned.

When ordering plastic pockets folder, the general
principal is to order three times the actual
required quantity. The logic behind it is that
the plastic pockets folders have a habit of
collecting scratches. Sometimes they get caught
in the lift door or briefcase and end up getting
bent or even torn. After a certain time, the
visibility diminishes and hence, the plastic
pockets folders will need replacement. In fact,
each staff member will require at least two or
three plastic pockets folders per year. It is for
this reason that it is always advisable to buy
three times the number of staff. These days some
manufacturers of plastic pockets folders use
recycled plastic to make plastic pockets. While
the intention to help save the environment is
laudable, the technique is still not perfect and
often results in raw plastic that is hard and
brittle. It is therefore better to procure
plastic pockets folder made from virgin
plastic at this time. Although production methods
are always improving so it could be that in the
future recycled plastic badge holders are readily
available. The cost of these plastic pockets
folders depends on the material you select (Hard
or soft) and the order quantity.
