Your title in big letters, right under your ID
A badge buddy hangs behind your ID badge on the same clip, so patients and staff can read your role from across the room. Pick a ready-made title, or design your own in your hospital's colors.
Printed on both sides · No minimum on ready-made titles · Volume pricing

Standard badge buddy
Your ID is worn on its own. It hangs right behind it, on the same clip.

XL badge buddy

Match the way your ID hangs
If your ID is wider than it is tall, choose horizontal. If it's taller than it is wide, choose vertical. It's the one thing to get right.

Before you order
What is a badge buddy?
A printed card that hangs behind your ID badge on the same clip, with your title in large letters below the ID, so patients and staff can see your role at a glance.
Horizontal or vertical?
Match your ID. If your ID is wider than it is tall, choose horizontal; if it is taller than it is wide, choose vertical.
Standard or XL?
Standard hangs right behind an ID worn on its own. If your ID is in a vinyl badge holder or sleeve, choose the XL: it is 1″ longer, so your title still shows below the holder.
Is there a minimum order?
Ready-made titles: no minimum. Design your own: no minimum on standard and XL, 25 per design on Clear and 6 per design on BadgeBottoms®.
How does volume pricing work?
The price per badge drops as you order more of the same badge buddy. Price breaks count per style, so different titles are priced separately.
Is it printed on both sides?
Yes. Your title reads the right way round even when your ID flips.
