PA badge buddy

For physician assistants who see patients in clinics, hospitals and the emergency department. PA prints in large letters on a badge buddy that hangs behind your ID.

  • Prefer the full title? Physician Assistant has its own page, with PHYSICIAN over ASSISTANT filled in. Want PA-C instead? Click Customize It and type it.

New to badge buddies? A badge buddy is a card that clips behind your photo ID on the same clip or reel. It's a little longer than your ID, so your title shows below it in letters big enough to read across a room. It's printed on both sides, so your title still shows when your ID flips.

Questions

PA badge buddy questions

What is a PA badge buddy?

A card that hangs behind your photo ID on the same clip and shows PA in large, bold letters, so patients and coworkers can read your role from across the room. It's printed on both sides, so your title still shows when your ID flips around.

Will it fit my ID badge?

Yes, if you wear a standard-size ID card. Pick the orientation that matches your ID: horizontal if your photo ID is wider than it is tall, vertical if it's taller. The badge buddy goes behind your ID on the same clip or reel, so your ID stays as it is.

Standard, XL or Clear: which do I need?

Standard (3-3/8″ × 3-1/8″ horizontal, 2-1/8″ × 4-1/2″ vertical) is for an ID worn on its own. XL (3-3/8″ × 4-1/8″ or 2-1/8″ × 5-1/2″) is one inch longer, so your title still shows below a badge holder or sleeve. Clear has a see-through top with a colored title bar for a lighter look.

How fast will it ship?

Ready-made PA badge buddies ship from stock; the stock line above the price shows today's shipping cutoff. Custom standard and XL badge buddies: usually ships in 2-4 business days. Clear: usually ships in 10-14 business days.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum on standard and XL: order one, or enough for the whole unit. Clear badge buddies start at 25. For a hospital-wide order, ask us for a quote.

Can I add our hospital logo or a reference card?

Yes. Click Customize It, open “Add a logo, reference card or different back” in the designer and upload your file for the front or the back. Popular reference cards include R.A.C.E. fire safety steps, a conversion chart, lab values or a pain scale.

Can you match our hospital's color scheme?

Yes. Pick from our 19 standard colors, or send us a Pantone (PMS) number and we'll match it. We print in full color (CMYK), which comes very close to most PMS colors. Neon, fluorescent and metallic shades can't be reproduced exactly in CMYK, so those print as the closest match. Click Get a Quote with your PMS numbers.

Can I order different titles for my unit?

Yes. Add each title to your cart, or send us your list with a quote request and we'll set up the whole unit.

“I really like the 2 in 1 badge bottom and badge holder. What can make this product better is if they can make the top sealable like other badge holders. This would prevent splashes or debris to collect into the badge holders over time .”
