School’s just around the corner, with some universities and elementary schools opening in August.  While you prepare for the school year to begin, it’s important to start shopping around for a reliable and professional ID card system. Not only do student ID cards significantly enhance overall security and keep out unauthorized visitors, but also they also serve a number of purposes such as cashless payment, access control, and time & attendance for faculty.   Here at AlphaCard, we’ve literally helped hundreds of K-12 schools, universities, and other educational institutions implement robust student ID card systems.

Student ID cards should clearly show the name of the student, his or her school ID number, a head shot if possible, and their grade.  ID badges can be used to get into dormitories, enter classrooms or certain buildings, check out library books, and access other amenities such as a campus gym or cafeteria.  Now’s the perfect time to update your school ID cards with a modern photo badge system.  AlphaCard boasts a wide assortment of ID card systems specifically designed for schools, large and small. If you already have an ID card system in place, and need to stock up on supplies, we feature a generous selection of ID attachments, ribbons, printers, digital cameras, ID software, and data capture devices.
