Badge Buddies
Badge Buddies™ make it easy to instantly recognize staff roles by clearly displaying job titles in a way that's quick to read at a glance. Designed to sit behind a standard ID card, they attach effortlessly using a lanyard or badge reel, requiring no additional setup. They are available in both vertical and horizontal formats to work seamlessly with existing ID systems. Each Badge Buddy is fully laminated for extra durability, standing up to the wear and tear of daily use. With printing on both sides, job titles remain visible even when the badge flips over, ensuring consistent visibility throughout the day.
What is a Badge Buddy?
A Badge Buddy is a role-identification card that sits behind your standard ID badge and clearly displays your job title, making staff roles instantly recognizable at a glance.
They’re used to improve workplace identification, enhance security, and support role clarity in fast-paced environments such as hospitals, schools, and corporate offices.
Nurses, doctors, administrative staff, teachers, security personnel, and event organizers are among the most common users.
Are they required in hospitals or schools?
While not always mandatory, many organizations adopt them to comply with internal policies, promote patient or visitor confidence, and meet accreditation requirements.
How do Badge Buddies help with staff identification?
By prominently displaying job roles in large, color-coded text, Badge Buddies help patients, coworkers, and visitors quickly identify who’s who—especially in high-stress or emergency situations.
Will they interfere with access control or scanning?
Badge Buddies are positioned behind your ID card and don’t block barcodes, chips, or magnetic strips used for security access.
Simply place it behind your existing badge and clip them together using your lanyard, strap clip, or badge reel.
The slot design aligns with most standard attachments.
Do I need a special holder or lanyard and can Badge Buddies be used with existing ID cards and badge reels?
Badge Buddies are designed to work seamlessly with your existing ID badge, lanyard, or reel—no special accessories needed and they work with most standard ID holders and lanyards already in use at your workplace.
