Clear plastic lanyard pouches (PVC wallets) for displaying custom ID badges, passes and cards

Our PVC lanyard wallets (also called clear plastic lanyard pouches or plastic wallets for lanyards) are designed for one job: keeping important information visible, protected, and easy to carry. They’re made from soft clear PVC, so inserts can be read at a glance.

The wallets protect inserts from handling, moisture and general event chaos. Whether you’re organising a conference, issuing visitor passes, running a venue, or managing staff ID, a clear pouch removes the ‘where’s my badge?’ problem instantly.

Most customers choose these when they need personalised lanyards with a clear pouch setup. It’s possible to pair wallets with existing lanyards, or ordering both together for a consistent event look.

Key benefits of PVC lanyard wallets

Protection and durability

Made from strong, waterproof PVC, these wallets ensure that your cards and passes are kept safe from wear and tear. The PVC material is resistant to bending and creasing, so your cards remain in pristine condition. This makes them particularly useful for long-term use or in environments where durability is key.

Versatile for various uses

PVC lanyard wallets aren’t just limited to office ID badges or event passes. They can be used in various settings, including:

• Travel: Perfect for keeping boarding passes and travel documents safe and easily accessible.
• Education: Handy for student ID cards or library passes.
• Healthcare: Ideal for medical staff who need to display identification or access cards regularly.

No matter the scenario, these wallets provide a simple yet effective way to keep your important items visible and secure. Other sizes include A6 wallets.
