Where can I buy ID card stock?

Question

Looking to buy some to print out funny party favor ID cards for a place setting. I would just use heavy paper, but I think the plastic would hold up better. (It's a murder mystery party my parents are throwing, all of the guests get new identities, I'm in charge of decor). Where do they sell that? Will it work in a regular printer?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I don't mean cardstock like the hard paper sort of thing for scrapbooking, I mean the little plastic rectangles school ID's and driver's licenses are printed on. I'm not sure what it's actually called (plastic ID cards?) so I just said ID card stock. Sorry!!!

For picture and source check out:

Check out your local business supply store:
Office Depot

or Office Land

I know that I have seen them at one or the other. Print, personalize, and insert.
Could also buy a roll of wide clear plastic tape and "laminate" the tags yourself! Connect however you wish, pins, safety pins, lanyard, ribbon, etc.

You can buy heavy cardstock (by the ream) in all colors at Staples or any office supply place. Yes, it will run through a printer fine. I have done it a million times. Here's another idea. If you wanted to use plastic....they make clear printable sticker sheets (8-1/2 x 11). You could print what you wanted, peel off, and stick on any anything, including plastic. There are all sorts of possibilities.

Maybe you could do it on Shrinky Dink and then just not bake them.
