More than one way to wear a badge
There's More Than One Way to Wear a Badge

Figuring out how your ID badges will be worn might seem like a small aspect of your ID program, but it really is something that should be carefully thought out.

For ID programs where badges must be visible at all times, you have a number of options, including lanyards, badge holders, clips, reels and more. Alpha Card offers a complete selection of these items at outstanding prices.

The most popular of these accessories is the lanyard. Lanyards are worn around the neck and make the ID badge very easy to spot. They come in a variety of materials and colors, and can even be customized with the name or logo of your company, school, or organization.

Another common accessory is the badge reel. Badge reels feature retractable cords and are ideal for card programs where the ID card needs to be easily accessible for swiping or scanning. For attaching ID badges to clothing (you'll commonly see this in a hospital setting, for instance), it's typical to use a badge clip or strap clip.

To learn more about the assortment of options available, visit AlphaCard.com.

Fargo DTC550

If you're considering that great trade-in offer from Fargo, you might want to take a look at upgrading to the Fargo DTC550 ID card printer. The DTC550 is a versatile, robust printer capable of handling virtually any ID card application, from school and employee IDs, to high-security government card programs, and much more. This workhorse of a printer offers outstanding flexibility with options for magnetic stripe encoding, three different smart card technologies, dual-sided printing, and lamination. There's no limit to the level of security and durability of your cards when you're using the DTC550.

Another attribute of the Fargo DTC550 is the optional internal print server with Ethernet. This allows you to easily connect the printer to your network just like any other network device, and offers remote operation so multiple users can access the printer from different locations.
