Description

Custom ID Badges Designed and Printed Online — No Account Required

Looking for a better ID badge maker for your team? Design custom ID badges and employee photo IDs right here, then have them printed on real PVC cards and shipped to your door. No corporate account, no setup fees, no minimum order — just pay for what you order, like any other product online.

What you get with every order

• Real CR80 PVC cards — credit-card size and thickness, not laminated paper inserts
• Full-color edge-to-edge printing on one side or both
• Your design: logo, employee photos, names, titles, ID numbers, barcodes, QR codes
• Optional finishes: slot punch for lanyards, rounded corners, signature strip
• U.S.-based printing and shipping from InstantCard’s own facility

How it works

1. Design. Design yours using the above live online designer. Drag in your logo, add fields for employee photos and names, pick fonts, and preview both sides of the card.
2. Save. Your design is saved to your account — you can reorder later or come back to edit anything.
3. Order. Add quantity, upload cardholder photos and details, and check out. Orders ship same-day (when ordered before 4pm ET).

Built for small businesses

This product is for teams that need a few dozen — or a few hundred — ID badges without the paperwork of a corporate account. Use it for:

• Employee ID badges
• Membership and loyalty cards
• Volunteer or visitor passes
• Gym, club, and association IDs
• Student, staff, or contractor credentials
• Event badges and conference passes

Same quality as our enterprise customers

InstantCard has been printing ID cards in the U.S. for over a decade. Hospitals, school districts, and Fortune 500 companies trust us for tens of thousands of cards a month. This shop product is the same printing process, same materials, same color quality — sized for buyers who don’t want to prefund an account just to print a small batch.

Every card is printed on 30-mil CR80 PVC (the same thickness as a driver’s license) using dye-sublimation card printers — not inkjet on paper or laminated cardstock. Photos render at 300 DPI with smooth color gradients, and the ink is sealed under a protective overlay that resists scratches, lanyard wear, and fading.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one badge or hundreds.

Can I reorder later or add new employees?
Yes. Your design is saved to your account. Reordering takes a few clicks.

Can each card have a different employee photo and name?
Yes. The designer supports variable fields — you set up the template once, then upload one photo and name per cardholder at checkout.

Do you print barcodes, QR codes, or magstripes?
1D barcodes (Code 128, Code 39) and QR codes are supported in this shop. Magstripe and smart-chip encoding are available on the main InstantCard platform — contact us if you need them.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes, but free shipping no longer applies.

How does this compare to other ID badge makers?
Most online badge makers print on cardstock or laminate paper inserts. We print on the same 30-mil PVC stock used for driver’s licenses, on the same enterprise-grade printers InstantCard runs for our corporate accounts. You get professional, durable cards without the corporate-account paperwork.
