Enhanced & Secure ID Cards
For organizations requiring higher security, we supply enhanced ID cards with features like:

- Microtext – Fine print that’s difficult to reproduce
- Smart card technology – Encrypted credentials for high-security access
- Custom holographic designs – Organization-specific security features
Printers with lamination modules (like the Fargo DTC4500e or HDP5000) can apply these security features automatically during the printing process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you print custom ID badges, or just sell supplies?
We sell the supplies for you to print your own badges in-house. This gives you control over your badge program and is more cost-effective for ongoing issuance. We don’t offer print-for-you services.
What software do I need to design and print ID badges?
Most ID card printers come with basic badge design software. For more advanced features, popular options include Asure ID, CardPresso, and EasyBadge. Contact us for software recommendations based on your needs.
How do I choose between different card technologies?
It depends on your existing systems. If you have HID readers, you need HID-compatible proximity cards. If you’re using magnetic stripe systems, you need mag stripe cards. Not sure? Tell us what access control or POS system you have and we’ll help you match the right cards.
