School ID Badge Maker Resources

ID badge makers can be an extremely valuable addition to any school. Student ID cards have existed for years, but only for cursory items like library cards and in some cases, in the cafeteria. Now, with more schools adopting mandatory ID card policies, the addition of an ID badge maker can make the ID process at any school much more easy and effective. Many printers, especially the Zebra P330m, offer technology which delivers cards at breakneck pace with little to no maintenance. Others, like the Fargo HDP5000, offer extremely secure card printing with a suite of features that may be mixed and matched to meet specific needs. The most important part in selecting an ID card printer, however, is determining the specific needs of the school and the specific purpose of the printer.

Questions to Ask When Considering a School Badge Printer

• What will the cards be used for? This is perhaps the most important question to ask about a school badge printer. Determining the use of the card can help determine which features a printer will require and which printers to consider


• How many cards per year will be printed? It may not seem significant, but the number of cards printed can play a large role in the printer. Printer supplies vary from brand to brand, and what may seem to be a less expensive option may cost more in the long run because of grouped card cartridges and ribbons. Ask your friendly Alpha Card Expert to figure out what the best supply range is for you


• Projected growth. Card printers are a long-term investment, and can be used for five to ten years without needing replacement. Therefore, long term projections about student body growth and card purpose is useful to make the most prudent choice. Fargo printers are perfect for school ID badges because of their scaleability - a simple Fargo printer can be upgraded to an ultra-secure model with the addition of modules.
