Welcome to ID Cards and Lanyards — your trusted ID card printing service for businesses, schools and organisations in Tamworth and across the UK.
Whether you need a handful of employee ID cards or a bulk run for an entire workforce, we handle orders of every size with the same level of care. Our plastic card printing is carried out on high-grade PVC stock using dye sublimation technology, which means sharp photo reproduction, vibrant full-colour graphics and text that stays legible well beyond the first year of daily use.
We work with companies, hospitals, local authorities, schools and tradespeople right across Tamworth and Staffordshire. Because everything is printed in-house at our UK facility, we keep tight control over turnaround — most orders placed before 2 pm are dispatched the same working day. If you are after same day ID card printing, that is something we do well.
Printed ID Badges for Tamworth Businesses
Staff ID badges have gone from a “nice to have” to a genuine operational requirement for most organisations. They confirm who belongs on site, they deter unauthorised entry, and — when paired with the right encoding — they double as access control credentials for doors, gates and time-and-attendance systems.
At ID Cards and Lanyards, we print photo ID badges in Tamworth for businesses of every size. Each card is produced on CR80 PVC (the same dimensions as a standard bank card) and printed edge-to-edge in full colour. If your site security demands it, we can encode cards with barcodes, magnetic stripes, RFID chips or MIFARE contactless technology so they work straight out of the packet with your existing readers.
Beyond the cards themselves, we supply custom printed lanyards in nylon or polyester webbing, branded with your logo, department colours or staff name. Lanyards ship alongside your cards, so everything arrives in one delivery — there is no chasing separate suppliers. We also stock a full range of badge holders, card clips and retractable reels if you need them.
Our turnaround is built around the reality that most Tamworth businesses cannot wait a fortnight for their cards. Orders approved before 2 pm are printed and dispatched the same day. For clients who need cards on an ongoing basis — new starters, replacement badges, seasonal contractors — we offer a call-off service where you pre-purchase a batch and draw down cards as and when you need them.

Visitor Passes and Access Control in Tamworth
Knowing exactly who is on your premises at any given moment is not just good practice — for many Tamworth businesses it is a regulatory requirement. Our printed visitor passes give reception staff a quick, reliable way to log guests while maintaining a clear visual distinction between employees and visitors. Each pass can carry a photo, the visitor’s name, the host they are meeting and a date stamp, so there is never any ambiguity about who has been granted entry or when their authorisation expires.
For sites that need tighter control, we encode visitor cards with barcode or RFID data so they integrate directly with your access control system. Doors and turnstiles can be programmed to grant entry only to specific zones for a set period, and you get a digital log of every swipe — useful both for fire-roll compliance and for auditing who accessed restricted areas.
Compared to the old approach of paper sign-in books and handwritten sticky labels, printed visitor passes are harder to forge, quicker to issue and far simpler to manage at scale. They also project a more professional image to clients and contractors arriving at your premises for the first time. If a visitor does try to access a part of the building they should not be in, the card’s encoding will simply refuse them — no need for a member of staff to intervene.
We print visitor passes on the same hard-wearing PVC as our staff ID cards, and they can be returned and re-used or shredded at the end of the visit, depending on your security policy. For organisations in Tamworth that handle a high volume of guests, we recommend our custom plastic ID card call-off service so you always have a supply ready at reception.

Our ID Card Printing Process
Request a Quote
Drop us a line by phone, email or through the online quote form. Let us know the type of card you need — staff photo ID, visitor pass, membership card, loyalty card — along with the quantity and any encoding requirements. We will come back to you with a detailed, no-obligation quote, normally within a couple of hours.
Approve Your Quote
Once you have received our pricing, you will have 30 days to confirm. We are happy to talk through alternative card stocks or finishes if there is a way to reduce your costs or improve durability. When you are ready, we move straight into the artwork stage.
Send Us Your Artwork
If you have a design prepared already, send it across as a layered PDF or SVG and we will check it is print-ready. Bear in mind that ID card printing uses a different process to standard office printers — we will flag anything that needs adjusting before it goes to press. For large teams, you will also need to supply individual employee photos and data; we can walk you through the file format that works best.
Professional Design by Our Team
Not got a design? No problem. Our in-house designers have produced card artwork for hundreds of organisations — from single-site offices to multi-location NHS trusts. They will work with your logo, brand colours and any specific layout requirements to produce a proof you are happy with. Once you have signed off the design, future reprints carry no repeat artwork charges.
Print & Dispatch
After final approval, your cards go to print on the machine best suited to your specification. We use a combination of dye sublimation and thermal transfer processes to deliver sharp, fade-resistant results. Orders confirmed before 2 pm are dispatched the same day via tracked courier, so if you need next day ID card printing in Tamworth, we have you covered.
