ID Wholesaler launched in early 2004 with simple goals: provide those seeking photo identification products with truly expert advice, an easy-to-use website, unmatched selection and pricing, and "tell-your-neighbors" type of customer service. More than 13 years and over 100,000 customers later, we’re still striving to do these things. We have grown to be the largest online retailer of photo identification equipment.
Why We're Successful
When you call ID Wholesaler, you speak with one of our friendly, highly-trained account managers. They’re not reading from a script or scrambling to look up specifications on your product, they know photo ID and will help you find the right product (not simply the most expensive product) to meet your needs.
Unlike virtually all of our competitors, we stock a huge selection of inventory and employ our own factory-trained technicians. We couldn't imagine selling photo ID equipment any other way. Ask your current supplier if they service their own products. Odds are they don't.
Our job is to make your job easier
Our highest value is to support our customers (you), and we're proud that our team has consistently received glowing testimonials. If you’re already a customer, thanks! If you’re visiting us for the first time, we hope to have an opportunity to "wow" you soon.

My only issue is that I paid for 2 day shipping and it showed up on day 4. Order shipped 5 March and should have been delivered 7 March but arrived 11 March. Not exactly 2 day shipping for ~$65.00. I needed the ribbon on 7 March for an 8 March project that couldn't happen due to shipping.

For some reason this wasn't up to the usual high standards I'm accustomed to for this product. The printer struggles to recognize the ribbon and the quality of print isn't what it should be. Maybe this is just an aberration. Printer is clean, and driver is up to date.

Excellent company. I was contacted by a nice man who wanted to ensure me I was in great hands. He wasn't kidding, my order was shipped quickly and it worked great. The price wasn't bad. The wrapping came off the stack of cards but I put the cards in a cute basket so no harm. I will order again when I need these The website was amazing with everything showing exactly information.

We have been using these for years, they have the slightly offset tab, so it makes it easier to get a badge in them. They work, generally last and do prevent transfer for awhile.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
