Menda Clear Vertical Proximity Card Holder with Locking Slot – 35053
Keep proximity access cards and employee identification badges visible, protected, and securely positioned with this vertical vinyl card holder from Menda. Designed for everyday workplace use, this holder features a clear front, matte back, and a convenient attachment slot that passes through both layers of vinyl.
Unlike conventional badge sleeves with a slot located only above the card pocket, this holder features a punched slot through both the front and back. When a compatible strap clip is inserted through the slot, it helps lock the card in place and reduces the chance of the card accidentally slipping out during normal use.
The holder accommodates identification inserts measuring up to 2-3/8" wide by 3-3/8" high, making it suitable for compatible proximity access cards, employee identification badges, and visitor credentials.
Constructed from 20 mil vinyl on both the front and back, the holder provides a substantial, flexible protective sleeve for everyday identification needs. Its transparent front keeps identification information visible, while the matte back provides a contrasting finish.
The convenient top opening allows cards to be inserted and removed when the attachment clip is disconnected.
Made in the USA, this proximity card holder is a practical choice for offices, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, schools, hospitals, and other workplaces where employees regularly use identification and access cards.

Through-Slot Design Helps Secure Your Card
One of the distinguishing features of this proximity card holder is its punched attachment slot.
The slot passes through both the front and back of the holder. When a compatible strap clip is inserted through the opening, it helps retain the card inside the sleeve.
This design is especially useful for employees who regularly move between workstations, walk through facilities, or use their identification cards throughout the day.
The card can be removed by disconnecting the strap clip and sliding the card out through the top opening.
Clear Front and Matte Back
The holder features a clear vinyl front that allows identification information to remain visible.
The matte back provides a contrasting finish while maintaining the holder's flexible construction.
This combination is suitable for identification badges and proximity cards that need to be displayed or accessed frequently.
Durable 20 Mil Vinyl Construction
Both the front and back are manufactured from 20 mil vinyl, providing a combined material thickness of 40 mil.
The substantial vinyl construction helps protect identification cards from routine handling, scuffs, and everyday contact.
The holder is flexible enough for convenient use while providing a durable sleeve for repeated workplace identification.
Vertical Format for Identification Cards
The holder accommodates inserts measuring 2-3/8" wide by 3-3/8" high.
Its vertical format is suitable for compatible portrait-style employee identification cards, proximity badges, and visitor credentials.
The overall dimensions are 2-13/16" wide by 4-3/8" high, including the upper attachment area.
Checking the dimensions of your existing card before ordering helps ensure a proper fit.
Convenient Attachment Options
The punched slot measures 1/8" x 9/16" and is positioned approximately 3/8" below the top edge.
It is designed to work with compatible strap clips that pass through the slot and help secure the card.
A compatible badge strap or clip can be used to connect the holder to a suitable lanyard or other identification accessory.
