ID-WebBureau
If you regularly issue ID cards, ID-WebBureau gives you a secure, efficient way to manage the whole process.
Our design team creates your card template, then gives your organisation secure login details for an online portal. From there, authorised users can upload photographs and details, including bulk imports for larger teams, approve print requests and order new cards whenever they need them.
Approved designs are stored securely in your account, so it is quick to reorder existing cards or produce cards for new starters without recreating artwork each time.

ID Card Printing Policy
To help protect organisations against fraudulent use of identification cards, We Print Lanyards cannot print ID cards for Government Agencies, the Armed Forces, Emergency Services or Universities.
All orders are subject to permission and domain checks where appropriate. Any request we believe relates to fake identification or fraudulent use will be declined and may be reported to the relevant authorities.

All of our card holders are made to fit the CR80 cards only. We do not recommend hole or slot punching PVC cards, because any impact on the plastic can weaken the card and make it more likely to become brittle and snap. Punching is fine for short-term use such as events, but for everyday wear we recommend a card holder instead.
There is no minimum order for standard printed ID cards. Orders of fewer than 25 cards placed through our team, across any number of designs, incur a £7.50 handling fee. No handling fee applies to orders placed online, where standard cards are available. For new ID-WebBureau accounts, a £30 + VAT setup fee applies, with a minimum initial batch of 5 cards.
