Authentic Lanyard & ID Badge Mockup

Tired of your bold pass and ID designs looking flat and fake in a generic mockup? Your work deserves to feel real. I created this mockup because I believe in the power of tangible details, the kind you can only get by sampling directly from reality.

This isn't some sterile, 3D render. This is 100% human-crafted. I shot everything myself with a 50mm macro lens to capture the authentic details: the precise way light reflects off the plastic, the texture of the lanyard strap, the subtle imperfections that make it feel genuine. This is the antidote to the flood of soulless, AI-generated content.

I designed this to be a workhorse for any project that needs to look official and authentic. Use it to give your portfolio case studies some real-world depth or to present your designs with confidence.

When you use this mockup, you're not just downloading a file. You're using a tool made by a fellow designer on a journey. You're choosing human craft over algorithms, and you're directly supporting me, the artist, in my mission to keep sampling reality for creative rebels like you.

Here’s the Scoop

You get total control. This isn't a locked-down template; it's a flexible kit built for a creator. Every core element is customizable, because I trust you to trust your own instincts.

Total Color Control: Easily change the strap, clip, and background colors to perfectly match your brand's palette.

This product is a two-file pack, giving you maximum versatility from the start. Both unique Photoshop files come loaded with the same three essential badge holder options (Horizontal ID, Vertical ID, DIN A6), giving you more creative freedom for your projects.
