Use time-expiring badges for visitors

Issuing temporary badges to your visitors is a simple and extremely effective way to increase your overall level of security. It's especially useful in locations such as schools, government buildings, hospitals, and large office complexes where there's a high number of people coming and going.

To get the most out of your visitor ID system, we recommend using time-expiring badges.

These unique badges actually change color over the course of the day to reveal whether or not the visitor is still authorized to be on the premises. AlphaCard offers time-expiring badges in a variety of formats, from half-day and full-day badges, to visitor PVC cards and specialty badges designed specifically for schools. We also carry time tokens, which are small time-expiring stickers that can be applied to your regular ID cards.

University ID cards linked to coin-free laundry system
On a college campus, nothing's more frustrating than trying to do your laundry. Why do you think so many kids choose to haul massive bags of dirty clothes home on the weekends for their parents to deal with? The frustration stems from two key factors: first, you need to have a large supply of quarters on hand, and second, you never know when the machines are going to be available.

LEARNING CENTER
QUESTION:
How could a hospital benefit from visitor badges?

ANSWER:

With a visitor badge system in place, anyone roaming the facility without visible identification is easy to spot and likely doesn’t have authorization to be in the building. Everyone who enters the hospital is required to register before receiving a badge and gaining access to the hospital. In fact, many visitor badge systems can even be integrated with access control systems so that individual visitors are only allowed to gain access to specific areas.
