ID card holder

March 27, 2008 5:34 AM

Where can I purchase ID card holders made of rigid plastic, with a slide in the back? Something like this. I want to purchase individual or small quantities, such as 5 or 10, not a pack of 100. Vendor should be in the U.S.

Best answer: Do you live near a medical school, by chance? I would bet they'd have them in the bookstore there. I work at a medical center and the doctors here love them. I bought a bunch in bulk recently but it sounds like you've already found the sites for purchasing that way...

Looks like UMX has them. Their website is not great, but I have ordered things through them in the past, and they are good. According to their pricing, you can buy them in a batch of 10, or if you need less, pay an extra .20/per.

Response by poster: uvaleg: D'oh, I hadn't thought about checking out the university bookstore, I'd only been looking in the local office supply stores.

effigy: That's good to know that UMX aren't sketchy, despite the web site. The particular model you linked to doesn't have a slide in the back, which is something I do want.

Definitely try your local college/university store. When I used to work at one of Michigan's libraries, it seemed like three quarters of my patrons had them....
