Why outsourcing your visitor ID badge printing makes sense

No printer to maintain No need to worry about replacement ribbons, cards or dreaded outages.
Order passes in advance Pre-plan for visitors coming to site in advance and have badges ready for day one.
Consistent quality Internal desktop printers struggle to maintain the high quality output of a professional service.
Fully account managed If you need more than 250 cards you'll be assigned a dedicated account manager.

When it comes to visitor passes, design is likely much lower on your list of requirements.

Here is a typcial specification we get for custom printed visitor badges.
Card Size CR80 (standard credit card size)
Printing Full colour to one side
Finish Gloss
Encoding RFID or Magstripe
Orientation Landscape
Variable Data Visitor name, Valid from date, Valid to date, External company name, Barcode or QR code

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I place an order for a single visitor card? Yes. You can order a single card if that's what you need. Pricing scales down as volume increases, but there's no minimum order threshold to worry about - a handy option for infrequent visitors.
  • Can you colour code badges for different visitor types? Yes. Many sites use different colours to distinguish contractors, regular visitors, and delivery personnel. We can set up multiple badge types within the same account so reordering each type stays simple.
  • Can you encode visitor passes for access control? Yes. We support RFID and Magstripe encoding. If you're unsure what your access system requires, send us a sample of an existing card and we can confirm compatibility before you order.
  • How long will it take to receive my order? New orders are usually dispatched within 2-3 days from proof approval. If you have an urgent requirement, please contact us before ordering and our team will be happy to help.
  • Is it easy for me to reorder? Once your design is saved with us and on file, reordering is quick. You don't need to re-upload artwork or go through the setup process again. Just confirm the quantity and we'll handle the rest.
  • Do you offer a design service? Yes we do. We'll work with you to design a card that matches your branding and colours for a one time fee per design. You'll approve the design before anything goes to production.
