Software and Database

While ID card printers usually get the most attention, badge design software is an equally integral part of a professional ID card system. Yes, printers physically produce the ID cards, but it's the ID card software that can maximize the potential of an ID card printer and expand the functionality of ID cards beyond simple identification.  The right ID card software program can make an ID card program stand out by offering wide variety of functions including:

• Printing cards from a third party application
• Editing photos without a separate program
• Encoding magnetic stripes
• Connecting to various types of databases
