How to organise your access cards with a card holder

organising access cards

Once you've selected the perfect access card holder, it's time to get organised. Here are some tips to help you efficiently organise your access cards:

Categorise your cards

Sort your access cards into categories based on their purpose, such as work-related cards, membership cards, or personal identification cards. This will make it easier for you to locate the card you need without searching through all your cards.

Arrange cards by frequency of use

Place the cards you use most frequently in the front slots of your card holder. This way, you can quickly access them without having to shuffle through all your cards. Rearrange the cards periodically to ensure the most frequently used ones remain easily accessible.


Keep your card holder clean

Over time, dirt, dust, and oils from your hands can accumulate on your card holder, making it look dull and unappealing. Clean your card holder regularly using a mild soap or detergent and a soft cloth. 


Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the material of the card holder.


By following these organisation tips, you can ensure that your access cards are easily accessible and well-maintained, saving you time and frustration in your day-to-day life.

Tips for maintaining and cleaning your access card holder

Maintaining and cleaning access cardholder

To keep your access card holder in top condition and prolong its lifespan, consider the following maintenance and cleaning tips:

Regularly wipe the card holder

Use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with water or a mild soap solution to gently wipe the surface of your card holder. This will remove any dirt, grime, or fingerprints that may accumulate over time.

Avoid using harsh chemicals

Harsh chemicals, such as bleach or strong detergents, can damage the material of your card holder. Stick to mild soap solutions or specialised cleaning products specifically designed for the material of your card holder.

Dry thoroughly

After cleaning, ensure your card holder is completely dry before inserting your cards. Moisture can damage the cards and cause them to stick together or become difficult to remove from the slots.

Store in a cool, dry place

When not in use, store your card holder in a cool and dry place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can cause the material to fade or warp.

Avoid overstuffing

While it may be tempting to fill your card holder to its maximum capacity, avoid overstuffing it. Overloading the card holder can put strain on the material and cause it to wear out or tear prematurely. Leave some room for your cards to breathe and move freely within the slots.


By taking proper care of your access card holder, you can ensure its longevity and keep it looking as good as new for years to come.

Creative uses for access card holders

Use for access card holders

While access card holders are primarily designed to hold cards, they can also be used creatively in various other ways. Here are some alternative uses for your access card holder:

If you frequently attend networking events or meetings, repurpose your access card holder as a business card holder. The slots that hold access cards can easily accommodate standard-sized business cards, ensuring you always have them on hand to share with potential contacts.

Gift card organiser

Do you often receive gift cards or store loyalty cards? Use your access card holder to keep them organised. The designated slots will prevent the cards from getting lost or damaged, making it easier to redeem them at your favorite stores or restaurants.

Emergency information holder

In case of emergencies, it's crucial to have important information readily available. Use your access card holder to store emergency contact numbers, medical information, or even a small note with essential details. Keep it in a visible and easily accessible location, such as your bag or wallet, so that it can be quickly accessed when needed.


Get creative with your access card holder and discover its versatility beyond just holding cards. The possibilities are endless!
