Description
The 1840-5057 is a heavy-duty single-card vertical proximity card holder constructed from clear vinyl. It accepts inserts measuring 2.38" x 3.75" (60 x 95mm) within an outside holder dimension of 2.78" x 4.38" (71 x 111mm). The back panel is 0.030" (0.76mm) thick and the front panel is 0.020" (0.51mm), creating a reinforced sleeve suited for thicker proximity and smart cards. Standard slot and chain holes at the top allow attachment to any lanyard, badge reel, or neck chain.
A lock-in slot secures the credential when a badge strap is threaded through the slot opening. This prevents the card from sliding out during active movement, making it reliable for high-traffic environments where personnel scan credentials at readers throughout the day. The asymmetric panel construction prioritizes back protection where most wear typically occurs.
Access control teams, security operations, and building management programs select this holder for proximity cards that see heavy daily use. The reinforced vinyl protects card edges from bending and wear during demanding all-day wear programs. Healthcare, higher education, and corporate campuses with large-scale access card programs order this SKU in bulk quantities. The 1840-5060 is a direct alternative offering equal-thickness front and back vinyl panels for more balanced card surface protection.
