Employee ID Badges

Creating employee ID badges is an important task that your human resources department needs to complete for each employee hired. These badges offer several benefits. First of all they are a clear, and unmistakable sign that the person is an employee of the company. Secondly it identifies who they, what their job title is and what department they work in. These badges can also be encoded to serve as a company security device. You can code your ID badges so that they provide all employees with access to special areas of the business, or you can code the employee badges so that each employee is limited in where they can gain access to.

Photo employee ID badges are a great way to ensure that only the person who owns the badge is using it. Photo ID badges are relatively simple to make. You will need a camera, a tripod, a photo printer, a laminator and name badge blanks. If you order your custom name badges from a service then you may want to add other security features to your name badges like bar coding, holograms and magnetic code stripping.

For businesses that don’t require high security, then simple, plastic name tags are a good option. This option is fairly affordable, however, you will generally need to order these name tags from a printer or office supply company. When ordering your plastic name tags you will want to select a font, font size, font color and background style that is consistent. All employees should have the same basic layout for their name tags. These tags aren’t expensive, however, they do take time to make. Because of this you may want to order generic tags to tide new employees over until their official name tag arrives. For example, you can order tags that say “Trainee” or “Customer Service Rep” or “Volunteer.”

There are several printing options that you have for your employee ID badges. Your first option is to buy an official employee ID badge kit. These kits range from basic card stock blanks with plastic badge holders, to high tech computer software programs tied in with digital imaging and laminating capabilities. Your second printing option is to order your name badges from a printer. You can find vendors who print employee ID badges and name tags locally, or you can shop online.
