Creating a Laminated ID Badge

Id badges and passes are important for school, office and event use. Id tags may include name, title, photo and information about the access level of the person. Laminated badges look great and are protected from wear and tear damage. Creating laminated ID tags are easy to make with a few supplies.

First you will want to select the size of your badges. You can buy perforated paper to print badges on or print on standard card stock and cut to size using a paper cutting machine. One standard size option is to print business card size ids and laminate with a luggage tag or vertical id tag pouch that is pre punched for your lanyard or badge clip, but any size badge can be made. Determine what contents needs to be included on the ID and how prominent the badge must be. You may want a large badge or one that will fit into a person's wallet or pocket. Before printing, its best to look at standard size laminating pouches to avoid additional costs in customized pouches. You will want to get a pouch that is about 1/4" wider and longer than your card. Laminating pouches can be purchased pre punched in certain sizes or can be punched using an oval slot punch intended to punch a hole perfect for use with lanyards and clips. When selecting your pouches, you will also need to choose a mil thickness. Most card size pouches are available in 5mil, 7mil and 10 mil. Thicker pouches will be sturdier and last longer. If your id badges are for a weekend event, a 5 mil pouch may be appropriate. If you are laminating annual id badges for employees to wear daily, a 10 mil pouch is recommended.

If your ID will be displayed on the employee, visitor or attendee then you will want to select badge clips for clipping the ID onto pocket or collar or select a lanyard for hanging from the neck. If you purchase a non punched pouch you will need to punch the ID card to allow the badge clips and lanyards. It's best to select a quality punch, as cheap versions get dull easy and perform badly.

If you need to also select a laminating machine for you id cards there are a couple important factors to consider. Besides the obvious points of choosing a machine that will last, size is an important factor. There are many ID laminating machines on the market that are 3"-4" wide. If you will use your laminating machine soley for laminating id tags, this may be an option for you but is probably not the best investment. First, a larger sheet size laminating machine normally costs only slightly more than a card size machine. A larger machine can also laminate more than one id at a time, placing 4 card size pouches into a laminating carrier will substantially reduce the time required for lamination. Lastly, a larger machine is more versatile and allows for the laminating of larger documents in addition to small, card size pouches. Some laminating machines are limited to 7 mil thick pouches or thinner, so be sure to find a laminator that can handle the pouch thickness you select for your id badges.

Whats the airports spinning thing called like its a big oval you put ur luggage on ??

Like the ones in baggage claim? Those are called baggage carousels.

Some airports like Orlando feature long winding belts instead though...they wind through a good amount of the baggage claim and let more people get to their bags.
