Making the decision to implement employee photo IDs and an ID printer system is a big step for any company or organization to take. It’s crucial that you protect your investment with an extended warranty or printer protection bundle to ensure you’re creating and printing the best IDs possible!  

Printer protection bundles include:

• 3 additional years of extended warranty coverage

• FREE protective printer case ($250 value)

• Cleaning kit (recommended every 700-1,000 prints)

Our ID Maker extended warranties allow you to choose from 1, 2, and 3-year extensions and includes a HOT SWAP loaner printer that is shipped to you in 2 days. When you purchase an extended warranty for your ID Maker printer, you are also getting additional support beyond the manufacturer’s warranty.

Did you know that 1 in 20 Americans are at risk for identity theft? That means that today's world demands more security. Identity authentication is a regular part of our daily lives to protect ourselves and our proprietary information. 

One way to enhance security is to implement a photo ID requirement. What you may not know is that there are a variety of features available to prevent the duplication of your ID card. 

Let’s look at some of the ways to guard against ID forgery:

Barcodes- A feature for time and attendance use or any tracking system you choose to integrate with your ID card. 

Ghost Photos- Make an ID one-of-a-kind with a mirror screen image of your picture. 

Fingerprinting- Especially useful in government agencies and schools for child ID card programs.

This month’s newsletter was focused on what elements make a good employee ID card. Depending on how your company utilizes employee ID cards may determine how you create and print your employee’s IDs. You’ll want to consider whether you plan to use ID cards for security purposes, for door access, or simply for identification. 

Creating the right ID card is imperative to achieving your photo identification goals. By considering the following 5 elements, you can create ID cards that meet your goals. 

1. Design

What information is critical to display on your ID? With dual-sided cards you have the option to add additional important information to the back of the card, such as emergency contact information or a company mission statement.  If it’s not as critical to have extra space, then single-sided ID cards are recommended. 

2. Versatility 

Where will your ID cards be used? Before determining the orientation of your cards, consider how they will be used i.e. access control, time and attendance, or solely for identification purposes. 

3. Orientation

Do you want your employee IDs to be vertical or horizontal? Once you’ve decided the purpose of your ID cards, you can then determine the orientation of your card as this will impact how you wear and display your ID card. 

4. Organization Logo

Visual security elements, such as a logo, are highly recommended if you have security goals in place around employee ID cards. Be sure that the card design is consistent with your marketing and branding (font, logo, and colors) to ensure you’re projecting a professional and consistent image. 

5. Employee Picture

It’s standard for ID cards to include a picture on the front of the card for identification purposes. The photo makes it unique to the individual employee and is easily visible.
