Choose the slot position according to how the laminated card should hang. A long-side slot usually supports a horizontal card, while a short-side slot commonly suits a vertical orientation. The printed design should remain upright after the card is attached, and the slot should not cut through a name, logo, barcode, or other important area. The end fitting on lanyards can vary, so confirm that the hook, strap, or clip fits through the prepared opening without forcing it. Assemble one complete sample with the intended card orientation and attachment. Wear it briefly, walk, sit, and present the card to make sure it faces correctly and does not turn into an awkward position.
