Larger Badges,
Increased Security
Property managers can enhance security at their building today with oversized ID badges. Large photo IDs let you visually scan a crowd and identify at a glance who has proper credentials and access rights. Bigger photos and graphics help busy security personnel work more efficiently and oversized IDs have room for security features that make them easy to authenticate and hard to counterfeit.
Oversized badges can be preprinted with your own graphics and personalized on-site with the cardholders' contact information within seconds. Property managers can order different sets of preprinted cards for each type of user. Each set can be color coded to indicate various security levels. Employees, visitors and contractors would each have their own badge design that can be easily identified by security personnel.
The same card can also serve as a secure access control badge when you choose contactless smart cards. The same card printer can be used to print and encode your cards. The cardholder won't need to stop at a card reader for the card to be read. This high-speed processing allows for high throughput at entry points while securing your premises.
