Identification Badge
Identification CardsIdentification cards serve many purposes. It can be a simple security ID badge, identifying security employees. It can be a national ID card, a police or student identification card. Identification Card TypesThe most common identification card is the simple driver's license and usually made of PVC with other plastic overlaminates to provide durability and security. Unique characteristics ensure the authenticity of the card document, and also match the identification card to the individual. For example, on the driver's license you would have a photo, name, address and other variables to match the card to the individual. These might be height, weight, hair color, and they might include other information to indicate special authorizations. The other most common type of identification is a company or school id card. The simple ID card would be composed of PVC, but it may have other features for automate the authentication and permitting security access to buildings. In its simplest form this is done with a bar code or a magnetic stripe that is read, verified, and possibly recorded by a system for access control or time and attendance. If Radio Frequency (RF) circuitry is embedded in the identification card, it is referred to as a proximity card or contactless smart card. This enables it to be read from a distance as an individual passes by a terminal. Creating Identification CardsCreating a PVC identification requires special printers that apply color to plastic. This involves a process of applying resin or ink to the surface of the card or embedding the color through the process of dye sublimation. The cards may be preprinted with common information such as a company logo, for example, and then passed through a desktop ID card printer add unique information. At the same time, the card may be encoded and security overlaminates may be applied.We can recommend the identification card camera, ID card software and printer to match your specific requirements, including cost.
