Standard badge buddy vertical

A custom badge buddy shows your role in large type right below your ID badge, so patients and coworkers know who you are at a glance. Pick a color and add one or two lines of text. We print it on both sides, laminate it and slot-punch it to share the slot of any standard credit-card-size ID. Vertical, for a portrait ID.

Common questions

Before you order

Will it fit my badge?

If your ID badge is standard credit-card size (3-3/8″ × 2-1/8″) and slot-punched, the badge buddy shares that slot. Unclip your ID, slip the badge buddy on behind it and clip back on. It hangs right behind your ID, with your title showing just below the bottom edge.

Wear your ID inside a badge holder or sleeve? Choose the XL badge buddy instead.

What if my badge flips?

Your title is printed on both sides, so it reads either way.

Can I order different titles and colors at once?

Yes. Design each one and add it to your cart.

Is there a minimum order?

Standard and XL badge buddies: no minimum. Clear: 25 per design. BadgeBottoms®: 6 per design.

Can I add our logo or a reference card?

Yes. In the designer, open “Add a logo, reference card or different back” and upload it, on the front or the back.

Is it made in the USA?

Yes. Every badge buddy is designed, printed, laminated and die-cut in the USA.

“I had an order arrive damaged during shipping, and this company went above and beyond to make it right. They quickly replaced my order without any hassle and showed a level of customer service that’s hard to find these days. It’s clear they truly care about their customers. I’ll definitely continue ordering from them and will be recommending them to my coworkers for all their hospital accessory needs. Thank you for turning what could have been a frustrating experience into such a positive one!”
