Julie, I've been thinking about using these, too. I was considering using them for YEARS of service, and considered making them myself with colored cardstock or white with colored ink, and having our print shop laminate them. Since they would need to be switched out annually, this seemed like a very inexpensive option. We have a "cutter" in Security that is used to cut the little oval holes on badges, so I can use that to cut the cards. I also use a company called PCNametag that has lots of these types of products.
