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.

A typical specification for visitor ID passes and badges

Visitor badges work best when they look nothing like your staff cards, so a bold colour and a large VISITOR heading matter more than detailed artwork. If visitors pass through controlled doors, encoding lets you limit them to the areas they need. Here is a typical specification we see 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

A lot of providers require you to order in bulk to get started. We don't. Whether you need a handful of replacement cards or a large first run, you pay a fair price for exactly what you need. No minimum order means you can top up as you go, replace lost cards without committing to a big batch and scale up when you need to without changing suppliers. Organisations ordering 250 or more cards get a dedicated account manager as standard.

1-10 Cards £5.95 per card Fast turnaround. No minimum limit.

51-250 Cards £3.95 per card A lower price for larger volume print orders.

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 working days from proof approval. If you have an urgent requirement, choose the Express Service option in the card builder or contact us before ordering and our team will 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'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.
