Why Choose a Canadian Supplier for Security ID Cards?
Local Knowledge and Industry Experience
When working with a Canadian supplier like Groove, you get more than a transaction — you get a partner who understands your local regulations, access control environments, and operational challenges. We work directly with hospitals, schools, government departments, and contractors across Canada every day.
Faster Fulfillment, No Border Delays
Sourcing security ID cards from within Canada means no customs issues, no international shipping delays, and faster fulfillment. We keep our most popular cards and supplies in stock and ready to ship from our Ontario warehouse.
Cost-Effective, Transparent Pricing
Avoid hidden fees, currency exchange costs, or international service hurdles for your Security ID Cards. Our pricing is in Canadian dollars, and we’re always available to support you by phone or email.
We Support Proprietary Access Formats
As an Authorized HID Global Solution Provider, Groove carries standard and proprietary format cards to work with virtually any access control system, including:
Many organizations in Canada rely on proprietary card formats that can be difficult to source or replace — especially if you’ve inherited an access system and aren’t sure what format your Security ID Cards use. We can help identify the correct format, offer exact-match replacements, and even assist in transitioning to more secure or flexible options.
