Badge Types

Custom Plastic ID Badges for Every Need

Every organization uses identification cards differently. Some badges may only need a photo and name, while others may require barcodes, QR codes, magnetic stripes, or RFID technology. With custom plastic ID cards, you can choose the information, design, and features that match your application.

Employee ID Cards

Employee ID cards provide a simple way to identify staff members throughout your workplace. Cards can include an employee photo, name, job title, department, employee number, and company logo. If your employee badges are also used with an access or identification system, additional features may be available. These can include barcodes, QR codes, magnetic stripes, or RFID technology, depending on your system requirements.

Student & Faculty ID Cards

Schools, colleges, training centers, and other educational organizations can use plastic ID cards for students, teachers, faculty, and staff. A student or faculty ID can combine a photograph with the cardholder's name, identification number, school branding, and other relevant information. A consistent design also makes it easier for staff to recognize members of the school community.

Visitor & Contractor Badges

Visitor and contractor badges can help distinguish temporary visitors and workers from permanent employees. These badges can include names, photographs, company information, expiration dates, or other identification details. Different layouts or designs can also be used to distinguish visitors, contractors, vendors, and staff.

Event & Conference Badges

Events often include different attendee groups, including speakers, exhibitors, vendors, staff, and guests. Custom event badges can include attendee names, company names, job titles, event branding, QR codes, and other information. Plastic badges are a practical option when attendees need to display their credentials throughout an event or over several days.

Membership & Access Cards

Plastic ID cards can also support membership programs, clubs, associations, and access applications. Membership cards can display a member's name, membership number, organization logo, barcode, QR code, or other relevant information. Additional card technology may also be available when the card needs to work with a compatible access system.

Personalisation

Customize Your ID Badges

Your ID badges should display the information that matters most to your organization and the people using the cards.

Depending on the card and its intended use, your custom ID badges can include:

Employee, student, or member names
Photographs
Company or organization logos
Job titles and departments
Identification numbers
Barcodes
QR codes
Magnetic stripes
RFID technology
Expiration dates
Custom graphics and branding

A well-planned layout keeps important information easy to find while giving your organization a consistent and professional appearance.

Card Technology

ID Badge Features & Card Technology

Different organizations have different identification requirements. We can help you determine which card features are appropriate for your application.

Photo Identification

Photos make ID badges easier to verify at a glance. This is particularly useful for employee, student, contractor, visitor, and membership badges. Combine the badge holder's photograph with their name, identification number, department, or other relevant details.

Barcodes & QR Codes

Barcodes and QR codes can be printed on ID badges for compatible scanning applications. They can support identification, registration, membership management, event check-in, and other processes where information needs to be scanned from the badge.

Magnetic Stripes

Magnetic stripes may be added to ID badges when they need to work with a compatible magnetic-stripe system. If you already use a card reader or identification system, provide the relevant specifications when requesting a quote.

RFID Technology

Some ID badges require contactless technology for access control or other applications. RFID options may be available depending on the system and badge requirements.

If you need RFID cards, provide your system information before production so the appropriate specifications can be confirmed.

Built to Last

Plastic ID Cards Made for Regular Use

ID badges are often handled every day. They may be worn on a lanyard, carried in a wallet, displayed at a workplace, or used as part of an identification system.

Perfect Plastic Cards uses PVC for standard plastic card printing. Standard cards are 30 mil thick, while custom thicknesses from 10 mil to 30 mil may be available depending on your project requirements.

Cards can be printed in full color using CMYK or PMS colors. Artwork is reviewed before production to help identify issues with image quality, text resolution, layout, and other important elements.

A digital proof is also provided so you can review the card design before production begins.

Our Process

A Simple ID Badge Printing Process

Once you know what your cards need to include, our four-step process keeps your project straightforward.

Step 01

Tell Us What You Need

Start by sharing the type of cards you need and how they will be used. Tell us whether you need employee badges, student cards, membership cards, visitor badges, event credentials, or another type of identification card. If your cards require barcodes, QR codes, magnetic stripes, or RFID technology, include those requirements as well.

Step 02

Submit Your Artwork

Send us your existing artwork for review. If you need help preparing your design, our team can discuss the requirements with you. This is also the stage where card material, thickness, printing, personalization, and technology requirements can be reviewed.

Step 03

Review Your Proof

Before production, you will receive a digital proof to review. Check names, photographs, identification numbers, logos, colors, layout, and other important information carefully.

Step 04

Approve & Produce

Once you approve the proof, your cards can move into production according to the specifications confirmed for your order.

Quality Control

Quality Control for Custom ID Badges

Accuracy matters when producing identification cards. An incorrect name, unreadable photograph, wrong identification number, or poor-quality graphic can make a badge difficult to use.

Our quality-control process includes artwork review and proofing before production. We review elements such as image and text resolution to help identify potential issues before your cards are printed.

The digital proof also gives you an opportunity to verify the information and layout before approving production.

Our goal is simply to help ensure the finished cards match the approved design and meet the requirements discussed for your order.
