HID 2080PMSMV iCLASS Clamshell Programmable Credential with Vertical Slot
When you need durable, field-programmable proximity credentials that maintain a professional appearance across large access control deployments, the HID 2080PMSMV iCLASS clamshell card delivers. This programmable credential combines HID's proven 13.56 MHz iCLASS technology with the rugged clamshell form factor that stands up to high-traffic environments. The vertical slot orientation and logo-matched design ensure consistent presentation across your facility while the matte front finish resists visible wear from daily handling.
Key Features

- Durable clamshell construction protects internal electronics from impact and flexing
- Vertical slot orientation for standardized badge holder presentation

The clamshell format addresses a common pain point in facilities where credentials take physical abuse—manufacturing floors, warehouses, hospitals, and educational campuses. Unlike printable cards that can delaminate or thin proximity cards that crack under stress, the two-piece clamshell design absorbs impact while keeping the antenna and chip protected. The vertical slot placement aligns with most standard badge holders, reducing credential insertion errors and speeding up cardholder throughput at entry points.
This credential works within existing HID iCLASS ecosystems, allowing you to maintain system compatibility while upgrading or expanding credential inventory. The programmable design gives you flexibility to encode credentials on-site as needed rather than maintaining large pre-programmed stock. The matte front finish provides a professional substrate for direct printing or adhesive overlays while the numbered back with HID logo simplifies physical audits and credential tracking. For integrators managing multi-building campuses or phased access control rollouts, this credential offers the durability and flexibility to scale with changing security requirements.
