Encoded Features

Encoded Features

Whether it's barcodes, magnetic stripes, smart card, RFID or contactless smart card technology, encoded features on ID cards add versatility and security to ID card programs, allowing badges to serve as more than just simple identification. Encoding technology has advanced in leaps and bounds over the last few years, and a wide variety of advanced encoding options are now available on even the simplest printers.

Encoded features range from the simple barcode to the complex and secure smart card. All ID card printers and ID card software programs can encode and print barcodes; but more secure features come standard on only advanced and secure card printers.

Our technology section includes information on different types of encoded features and how they may be used, including:

  • Uses of different encoded features
