Badge Holders

Some conventions use a plastic card holder with a pin, clip or lanyard connection on the back to display the membership information of each member.

The simplest badge holders are a clear plastic rectangular pocket that will hold a piece of printed paper or card with the convention logo, member's badge name, membership number etc. Standard sizes include business card and credit card sized holders.

More elaborate ones have been created for bigger conventions, where the holder is a 3D plastic frame into which the member's printed details are inserted. The 3D frame being designed to reflect the logo and style of the convention (sort of like a 3D license plate holder, with the member details being the license plate information)

Many conventions now use laminated pouches for the membership badges, which makes it harder to replace the valid details in the badge with someone else's details (for example a forged weekend pass replacing a day membership, or someone replacing the insert after finding a lost badge outside the convention venue).
