A pocket accessory with your logo costs from £0.80 per unit, with branding included. The item you hand out at a conference does a different job from the one you give to a sales rep or a client. Here you can see today’s prices, the most common uses with real models, and what to check before ordering so the logo and format are a genuine fit.
How much does a branded business card holder cost?
Unit price with your logo in the standard position, excluding VAT and delivery. The price drops as quantity rises because the branding setup is spread across more units.

For trade fairs, conferences and large giveaways
When you are giving them to lots of people, it helps if they take up little space, weigh less and have a use that is clear straight away. RFID-blocking cards and slim custom card holders work well here: they fit into any pocket, allow visible branding and turn protection into an easy message to explain.
In this category, a small clean logo works better than a large one in several colours. If you hand them out personally or include them in an event bag, add a line explaining what RFID protection does: it is valued more and stops the gift going unnoticed.

For daily use, what matters is that cards do not bend, the closure is easy to use and the format does not feel bulky. This selection includes rigid aluminium custom business card holders, wallet styles and phone versions, with laser engraving or pad printing depending on the finish.
Before choosing, work out how many cards each person will carry and do not confuse this format with one for paper business cards. If it is going into a welcome pack, it sits naturally alongside an access card and the office’s branded lanyards.

When the gift comes out of a pocket in front of other people, the finish matters more than the logo size. Here, compact holders with better presentation, slim wallets and RFID passport sleeves are a good fit, in aluminium or flexible materials, with discreet branding built into the item.
Avoid asking for a large, highly visible logo: on this type of product it looks better centred or in a corner, in a tone that matches the material itself. On anodised aluminium, laser engraving reveals the lighter metal underneath, and pairs well with a branded metal pen.
