An RFID blocking badge holder is a secure credential ID holder designed to prevent unauthorized scanning of RFID-enabled access cards, proximity badges, and smart credentials. Unlike standard plastic holders, RFID blocking holders contain shielding materials that block radio frequency signals and protect sensitive badge data from electronic skimming and cloaning

A regular badge holder only protects against physical wear and tear. An RFID blocking badge holder protects against both physical damage and electronic theft by blocking radio frequency signals used to read access credentials.

For organizations concerned with data security, regulatory compliance, and facility access control, RFID protection provides an added layer of defense.

Most modern employee badges, access cards, and proximity credentials use RFID or NFC technology. These technologies transmit data wirelessly. Without shielding, badge information may be read remotely using unauthorized scanning devices — a process known as RFID skimming.

In high-security environments, preventing unauthorized credential capture is critical.

ID Stronghold offers durable RFID blocking badge holders designed for corporate, healthcare, government, and industrial use. Unlike generic plastic sleeves, our badge holders are built to withstand frequent handling while protecting sensitive access credentials.

For organizations seeking long-term reliability and credential security, purchasing directly from a specialized RFID protection manufacturer ensures both durability and performance.

RFID blocking holders are designed to prevent passive scanning. For authorized scanning, remove the badge from the holder or use according to product instructions.

This controlled-use approach enhances security without disrupting access workflows.

ID Stronghold’s BLOXPROX™ RFID Blocking Badge Holders are specifically engineered to block 125 kHz low-frequency proximity cards, in addition to high-frequency RFID signals where applicable.

Because 125 kHz proximity credentials remain common in secure access control environments, effective shielding at this frequency is critical. Many generic badge holders do not provide protection at 125 kHz.

BLOXPROX™ products are purpose-built for secure facility use, helping organizations reduce the risk of unauthorized badge scanning and credential capture.

Badge flipping is usually caused by swivel clips or attachment points that allow the holder to rotate freely. To prevent this, choose a badge holder designed with a stabilizing attachment that keeps the badge square and forward-facing.

ID Stronghold’s Duolite™ badge holder features a precision notched design that helps reduce rotation and keeps your ID badge properly oriented and squarefor easier scanning and a more professional appearance.

Yes. The ID Stronghold Genesis™ Secure Badge Holder features a magnetic clip design that allows it to attach securely to clothing without the need for a lanyard. This lanyard-free badge holder reduces twisting and movement while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. The magnetic attachment helps keep the ID badge stable and forward-facing, making it ideal for workplaces that prefer a streamlined, no-lanyard solution.

• 125 kHz (Low Frequency – LF)

Commonly used for proximity cards in legacy and widely deployed building access systems.

• 13.56 MHz (High Frequency – HF)

Used for smart cards, NFC credentials, and newer encrypted access systems.

Many “RFID blocking” badge holders on the market are designed to block 13.56 MHz high-frequency signals only. These products are typically built for consumer payment cards and may not provide protection against 125 kHz proximity badges, which are still widely used in corporate, healthcare, government, and industrial facilities.
