Common Types of Badges
Once you have your own badge maker machine, you’ll be able to print any number of badge types including, but not limited to, the following:
-Name badges — Perfect for business mixers, workshops, seminars, and other events where participants may not know one another. With a badge maker machine, you can print name badges in advance or on demand when participants check into your event. Consider adding a color logo to the name badge.
-Conference badges — If you’re hosting a larger conference, printing your own conference badges with your badge printer allows you greater control over access to events within the conference. For example, you could add a barcode your conference badges which would allow or deny access to specific events or areas. Similarly, adding a color photo of the participant would discourage participants from sharing their badges with one another.
-Security badges — Control access to sensitive areas by printing your own security badges with a full color badge maker machine. By including both a photo ID and a barcode, you can restrict access based on each user’s security clearance. For instance, only warehouse personnel would be able to enter the warehouse. By incorporating barcodes into your security plan, you would also have an audit trail documenting access.
-Employee Identification badges — You can also print your own employee identification badges with a color badge printer. Employee identification badges can be used in conjunction with security badges or for identification purposes only. For example, your field service technicians could show their color employee identification badges when providing service, giving your customers greater peace of mind.
-Visitors badges and expiring passes — It’s important that visitors to your facility are properly checked in and clearly identified. Being able to print your own visitors badges on demand allows you to customize each visitor’s badge complete with their name, photo, reason for the visit, and authorized visit date. In addition to selling visitor badge maker machines, DuraFast Label Company also sells expiring name badges that will automatically display the word “VOID” in large red letters within 24 hours of printing the badge.
These are but a few examples of how you can use a badge maker in your business.
