A durable and sleek card carry solution to help you move effortlessly through your day.

Story

Perhaps you’re already going back to working and collaborating in the office, or like many of us, you’re hoping that will be a reality soon. (Fingers crossed for 2021!)

Either way, when we return to those days of daily commutes and takeaway coffees, we can’t underestimate the convenience a card holder can bring to our day to day.

But most solutions don’t work well and often don’t last very long.

 

Carry With Confidence

 
 

Introducing the Orbitkey ID Card Holder System – a durable and sleek card carry solution to help you move effortlessly through your day.

Available in 2 colours (Black and Stone) and 2 models to suit any style and preference.

Friendly Worldwide Shipping – We’ve partnered with warehouses and fulfilment centres across the globe – in the USA, Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Australia. Your rewards will be shipped from your nearest centre.

Quick and Easy Tap and Go 

 

The ID Card Holders allow you to easily scan your ID, access or public transport card while you’re on the go.

 

Reduces the Spread of Germs

Keep your ID or public transport card easily accessible, so you don’t have to rummage through your pocket or bag and avoid touching your other belongings.

 

Made to Last

The unique swivel belt hook allows the retractor to rotate in the direction you pull the Card Holder in – minimising wear on the retractor cord and creating a truly seamless interaction.

Our custom-made retractor is also more durable and silent compared to standard retractors – made from high-quality materials and built to last for years to come.

 

Protect Your Privacy

If you’re leaving the office and want to hide your ID, simply pull down and flip your card around. With the built-in privacy feature, the card holder sits within a cavity in the retractor casing and ensures that it doesn’t flip back around – so that your personal details remain personal.

 

Additional Card Storage

The ID Card Holder has space for an additional non-RFID card for quick and convenient access – perfect for a business or coffee loyalty card.

 

Wear It Your Way

Can’t clip a retractor to your outfit or prefer not to? Opt for the detachable lanyard so you can wear your Retractable Card Holder around your neck instead. The comfortable woven lanyard also has a breakaway release for added safety and convenience.

 

Also compatible with other lanyard types. Please note that the privacy feature is not guaranteed when used with swivel hook lanyards.

 

 

Extra Storage and Security

The ID Card Holder Pro can hold not 1, but 2 additional RFID cards (such as credit cards and public transport cards) – with RFID blocking technology to protect from digital theft.

 

Interference-Free Scanning

With the Pro model, you can carry multiple RFID cards and still scan your ID or primary access card without removing it from the card holder.

 

Hidden Storage for Small Items

The Pro model also has extra storage for small items, such as a key and emergency cash, hidden in a cavity under your ID card.

 

Dual Orientation Enabled

The ID Card Holder Pro even supports cards in both portrait and landscape orientations. Just transfer the hook from one leather loop to the other.

Crafted from Durable and Premium Materials 

These features all come together in a sleek and minimal design with high-quality materials – like ethically sourced top grain leather and 100% recycled woven polyester – so you can feel proud, professional and confident with an elegant card holder that you can rely on, day after day.

 Design Process 

 

We always try to be conscious of what we’re designing – focusing less on the quantity, and more on the quality of a small, but considered selection of products. Our hearts, minds and even weekends were poured into this new product, and here’s a small lookbook to give you an idea of how we went about designing the Orbitkey ID Card Holder System.

 

 

About Orbitkey

 

We believe in clever organisation for better living.

Since 2013, we’ve launched 5 crowdfunding campaigns, with over 42,530 backers, raising over US$2.92 million.

We love Indiegogo. Not only did you help bring Orbitkey to life, you also allow us to focus on making great products and keep doing the things we love – without the influence of outside investors.

We are a team of 22 passionate individuals based in Melbourne, Australia – driven by design, innovation and clever organisation. This new project is the result of continuous feedback and hard work over the past year. We hope to have you join us on our journey towards better living.

 

 

Here at Orbitkey, we’ve been taking scalable steps to permanently reduce our carbon emissions, and in April 2020, we became a Climate Neutral Certified Brand!

Climate Neutral is an independent non-profit organisation that provides tools for companies to:

Measure their carbon footprint through economic modeling;

Reduce​ their emissions by developing and implementing carbon reduction plans;

Offset​ their emissions if they cannot be immediately reduced by purchasing carbon credits; and

Use the label to empower customers to choose brands that choose to pay for their carbon emissions.

Carbon credits are in turn invested into reducing and capturing carbon dioxide, and can support a range of projects such as forest conservation and renewable energy.

This year, we will ensure that at least 50% of our new products will be made from LWG certified leather and recycled fabric materials. Likewise, 80% of our packaging will be produced from recyclable materials. We will also reduce our air freight shipments company-wide by 40%, and at our headquarters in Melbourne, we will reduce our paper and toner emissions by 60%. But we know that this is only the beginning, and we will continue to improve our processes and further reduce our emissions every year.

 

Risks and challenges

We have a pretty good track record with our previous 5 campaigns – with most rewards being shipped on time or with a 1-month delay at most. Our previous campaigns have also given us valuable experience in all aspects of bringing a product to life and running a crowdfunding campaign.

It has better prepared us in the challenges associated with tooling, production, logistics, communication, and delivering a high-quality product.

However, there are always challenges and unforeseen obstacles that arise when trying to bring a product to life.

In the case of encountering unavoidable obstacles, we have always handled them swiftly and efficiently, and have always conducted things in the best interest of our backers and Orbitkey family. We always keep our backers updated with complete transparency.

We will do our very best to ensure we deliver what we promise and to go the extra mile whenever possible. Thanks for believing in us!

 

Environmental commitments

Long-lasting design

We’ve made a commitment that everything we do and build needs to add value and help our community live better lives. If they don’t, we should rethink why we’re doing it, and work out a better approach. Our products are designed with the best materials and built to last – tested thoroughly to withstand heavy use. We love that we’re still seeing plenty of backers from our first Indiegogo campaign in 2013 still using the rewards they received then.

 

Reusability and recyclability

Our products are designed to last. However, should you encounter any problems with any of the parts, you can let us know and we’ll be able to send you a specific replacement part.

 

Sustainable materials

The leather that will be used in the production of the ID Card holder System is LWG-certified gold-rated leather. It means that the leather is produced in a sustainable way with a focus on minimising environmental impact. The lanyard is also made of 100% recycled woven polyester thread. We pride ourselves in using no plastic in our packaging and ensuring that any paper material can be recycled.

 

Environmentally friendly factories

All our factories have been carefully selected and are partners we’ve been working with for several years. We have team members on the ground who visit the factories on a regular basis to ensure that quality, ethical and environmental standards are upheld.

 

Sustainable Distribution

We plan to optimise our shipping routes by utilising sea freight to transport bulk quantities to local warehouses to reduce the carbon footprint of our delivery plan.
