Custom ID Cards & Badge Printing in Dubai | Fast UAE Delivery
We Five Advertising prints ID cards and badges for offices, schools, and events across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, and Abu Dhabi. Whether you need a single batch of employee ID cards for a new hire round or a few hundred event badges for next week’s conference, our in-house setup handles the design, personalization, and printing without routing your job through a third party. Every card is printed edge to edge in full color, so logos, photos, and text come out sharp rather than faded at the borders, which is a common complaint with cheaper badge printing services.
Custom badge printing covers more ground than most people expect. Businesses use it for employee badge printing and identification badges that double as access passes; schools use it for student ID cards, event organizers use it for registration and event badge printing that needs to be turned around in a day or two, and membership clubs use it for renewable identity badges. We work with all of these, and we size, laminate, and finish each batch to match how the card will actually be used a badge that sits in a plastic holder all day needs different lamination than one clipped to a lanyard at a two-day trade show.

- If using raster logos, keep them at 300 DPI or higher
- Print-ready files move through production faster than drafts
- Keep a 3–5 mm bleed on anything running to the edge
- Convert text to outlines so fonts don’t shift between systems
- Work in CMYK, not RGB, for accurate print colour
- Leave a safe margin — nothing critical right at the edge

Employee & Staff ID Cards
Corporate ID card printing for full-time staff, contractors, and visiting employees. Cards are printed on standard CR80 PVC stock (the same size as a bank card), single- or double-sided, with a photo, name, job title, department, and an optional barcode or QR code for access control or attendance systems. We can print a batch of 5 for a small office or run several hundred for a full company rollout, and we keep your layout on file so reorders and replacements match the original design.
Event & Conference Badges
Event badge printing for exhibitions, seminars, and trade shows, with same- or next-day turnaround available for smaller runs when the date is close. Badges can carry a QR code for lead scanning or check-in, color-coded borders to separate attendees from speakers and staff, and either a punched hole for a lanyard or a clip-on back most organizers order both a badge and a lanyard together, and we can supply matching lanyards printed with the event name.
School & Student ID Cards
Student and staff ID cards for schools and training institutes, usually ordered once a year at the start of term and then in smaller batches for new admissions. We print the school crest, student photo, class or grade, and an ID number, and can add a QR code where the school uses it for library access or attendance. Cards come with a matte or gloss laminate that holds up to a full academic year of daily handling in a backpack.
Visitor & Membership Cards
Reusable visitor passes and membership cards for gyms, clubs, co-working spaces, and residential communities. These are usually printed as a template design with a blank field for a name or number that gets filled in per member, which keeps unit costs down on repeat orders. We can also produce numbered, non-personalized visitor passes for front-desk sign-in use.
Badge Holders & Lanyard Accessories
Rigid and soft plastic badge holders, clip fasteners, and retractable reel attachments to go with any of the cards above. Sold alongside a card order or separately for organizations that already have printed cards and just need holders or lanyard clips to match.
