Placeholder data, what are they?

Placeholder data are sample data placed on ID cards or credentials so as to provide a visual representation of both placement and look of the information that can be customized with the regular "customization" option (the one that appears in the dedicated box on an item's webpage) and/or with advanced customization options.
E.G.: the word "Name" is a placeholder data indicating where the bearer's name appears and how it looks like in terms of color, size, font.

The following are some of the most common placeholder data that can be found on our ID cards and credentials:

• Last: indicates last name
• Middle or M.: indicates indicates middle name or its initial
• First: indicates first name
• Name: indicates full name
• 0000 (or multiple 0 digits) or 1234 (or an ordained series of numbers): indicate any number different than a date, such as service number, badge number, serial number, etc.
• Signature in handwriting font: indicates a signature
• Photograph illustration: indicates the photograph of the bearer

It is important to understand and know about placeholder data as items on sale are being offered with them already present, unless regular "customization" and/or any advanced customization options is/are ordered or unless they are replica prop items.

Placeholder data also play an important role in case of restrictions placed on certain items if shipped to specific destinations.

See picture on the left for a graphic illustration.

Important notice

Certain items still display the old design with partial and/or no placeholder data at all. We are working to complete the general website update which will also include up-to-date images and descriptions of the items available on the website. In the meantime, we beg you to note that, unless explicitly stated on the specific webpage, all items shown on this website will bear placeholder data even if shown and/or advertised as blank. Thank you for your understanding.
