Card Holder Types & Materials Singapore: Business, Name, Lanyard & Phone Card Holders
“Card holder” covers a surprising range — from a slim metal business-card case to a lanyard pouch for an access pass to a stick-on phone wallet. Choosing the right type for the job makes a customised card holder a genuinely-used gift. Here’s a guide to the main types and materials.
The 30-second version: business/name-card cases (metal or leather) suit networking; lanyard card holders suit office access passes; adhesive phone holders suit transit cards. Match the type to how cards are carried. Our default MOQ is 200 pieces, though it isn’t strict — smaller runs are often possible when a style is in stock or the artwork is simplified.

| Type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Business / name card case | Networking — holds a stack of your cards |

Materials
Metal (aluminium/stainless) card cases feel premium and protect cards — great for executive networking gifts and engraving. PU or genuine leather reads classic and debosses beautifully. Silicone/PVC adhesive holders are cheap, colourful giveaways. Match the material to the audience and budget — a metal case for clients, a leather one for staff, a silicone phone holder for a mass campaign.
