Is 14pt Gloss Cover stock thick enough for ID badges?

14pt Gloss Cover is on the thinner side, but it can be used for ID badges. Whether it is sturdy enough depends on how the badge will be worn and handled.

• Works for: short-term or lightly handled badges, such as event or visitor passes.
• Less ideal for: daily-use badges that need to survive lanyards, clips, and repeated handling.
• Sturdier route: in some cases you can switch to a heavier material after ordering and pay the price difference.

For badges that need to last, a thicker card or a plastic stock holds up far better than a lightweight cover.
