SchoolPix offers the option of ID cards that are hole punched prior to printing. Plain ID cards are available in either a portrait or landscape orientation. They are the same cost as a card without a hole punch.
MiFare cards are only available in portrait orientation and attract a small upgrade charge.
Opting for a pre-hole-punched ID card can be advantageous for several reasons:
- Convenience: Pre-hole-punched cards are ready for immediate use with lanyards, badge clips, or other accessories. This convenience saves time and effort in the card attachment process.
- Consistent Placement: Pre-punched holes are positioned consistently, ensuring uniformity across all cards. This can enhance the professional appearance of identification badges.
- Compatibility: Pre-hole-punched cards are designed to work seamlessly with various card accessories, making them compatible with standard lanyards, badge reels, and similar attachment options.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Pre-punched cards can be cost-effective as they eliminate the need for additional equipment or labour to punch holes. This can be especially beneficial for large-scale ID card production.
- Reduced Risk of Damage: Pre-punched holes are typically created during the manufacturing process, minimising the risk of damage compared to manual hole punching, which could potentially compromise the card’s integrity.
