How to Avoid Common ID Card Problems
ID cards are essential for many organizations and businesses that need to identify, secure, and grant access to their employees, members, or visitors. ID cards can display various information, such as name, photo, barcode, logo, or hologram, that can be scanned, verified, or authenticated by different systems or devices.
Therefore, using rigid and anti-print transfer badge holder can help to preserve, secure, and enhance the ID cards.
Some ID Card Common Problems:
However, ID cards are not immune to common problems that can affect their quality and functionality. Some of these problems are:
- Fading: The ID imprint can fade over time due to exposure to sunlight, heat, or chemicals.
- Scratching: The ID surface can get scratched by sharp objects, abrasion, or friction, making it hard to read or scan.
- Bending: The ID card can bend or warp due to improper handling, storage, or pressure, causing it to crack or break.
- Smudging: The ID imprint can get smudged by dirt, oil, or moisture, making it blurry or illegible.
- Transferring (dye migration): The ID imprint can transfer to the holder or other surfaces in extreme temperatures, leaving behind a ghost image or residue.
These problems can not only reduce the lifespan and appearance of the ID cards, but also compromise their security and reliability. However, to prevent or minimize these problems, it is important to use the right type of holder for the ID cards.
Rigid ID Card Holders
Firstly, Rigid Badge Holders are hard plastic cases that protect the ID card from physical damage and wear and tear. They can hold up to three cards, vertically, and have slot and chain holes for easy attachment to lanyards, clips, or reels.
Therefore, Rigid badge holder is ideal for cards that need to be frequently removed, inserted, or swiped, such as ID cards, access cards, smart cards, or magnetic stripe cards.
In addition, the Rigid Card Holder has a slide ejector for easy card access and a clear window for displaying the front card.
Anti-Print Transfer Badge Holder
Secondly, Anti-print transfer badge holders are clear vinyl holders that prevent the ID imprint from sticking to the holder in extreme temperatures.
They have a resealable zip close that keeps dirt and moisture out. They can also hold one or two cards, either vertically or horizontally, and have slot and chain holes for easy attachment to lanyards, clips, or reels.
All in all, anti-print transfer badge holders are ideal for ID cards that have high-quality printing or sensitive information, such as photo IDs, holograms, or barcodes.
