Photo identification provides more than just the security of knowing a badge holder is authorized to be in your building. It can aid your company in other tasks such as time and attendance, shop floor data collection and door access. And it can record and track employee, contractor and visitor information for easy retrieval and timesavings.

Here are just a few things you should consider when considering Photo Badging and Time and Attendance solutions

Choose a professional badge to ensure your security
Your badge should not be the weak link in your security system. Cheap badges fade, curl and don’t read. “Cut & Paste” badges are easy to fake.

Good photos make good badges
The good news is that virtually any digital camera will produce an adequate ID badge photo. The trick, though, is consistency. Use a backdrop. Avoid red-eye. Crop the images in a similar manner. The images do not have to be large. Most ID photo images are less than 100k in size.

Make your card forge proof
The photo ID card has become the de facto identity document. Make your badges distinctive and thwart forgeries. Add a holographic laminate. Add your logo. Use a unique background photo and change this image frequently. It has never been easier to make a counterfeit ID. The simpler the badge, the easier it is for someone to make a forgery. Let’s be certain that people are who they say they are.

Date you badge
Is this credential forever? Keep ex-employees out but recognize the tenure of long-term employees. Add the issue date or expiration date to your badge design. Show the years of service. Make it easy to spot expired badges, at a glance. Each year change colors on your badge or photo backdrop. A unique background photo in another great security feature.
