Time & Attendance/
Payroll Reporting ID Badges
ID badges used in Time & Attendance/Payroll Reporting systems can save you hours of paperwork. But they can also render your system useless if not designed properly. Consider the following when selecting ID badges for use in your system. 
Card Durability
IDenticard ID badges are durable. They won't crack, chip or warp. They feature an exclusive wrapped edge; a single piece of tough, protective laminate that actually wraps around your ID badge. It protects your ID badges from delamination... a common cause of card failure in reader systems.
Reader Technology
The technology used on your ID badge depends upon the type of card reader you'll select with your time & attendance/payroll reporting system. The most common technologies are magnetic stripe and bar code. Both magnetic stripes and bar codes can be combined on a single ID badge if you're combining your time cards with other automated data collection system.
Magnetic Stripe
IDenticard high coercivity magnetic stripes are protected with Magnacote, an exclusive covering that gives superior protection against abrasion and wear for both the stripe and the reader. Unlike other coatings, Magnacote helps keep the reader head close to the magnetic stripe to assure consistently good readings.
IDenticard's half-inch high coercivity stripes allow multiple track encoding. That means your cards can accommodate two or more different encoding sequences on the same magnetic stripe. Our high coercivity coated stripes are rated at 2,750 oersted, virtually eliminating accidental erasures and read errors. The stripe's constant density makes encoding easy. You may encode your cards yourself or order them already encoded from IDenticard.
 Bar Code
There was a time when using a bar code system involved applying sticky labels to your cards; a time-consuming process of making sure each label was carefully placed in exactly the right spot. With IDenticard, you can say good-bye to messy bar code labels. With our badges, you print bar codes directly on the badge. Bar codes print clearly, cleanly and accurately — at the same time you're printing individuals' names.
Our special bar code software enables you to do the laser-printing yourself. Or we can get you started by printing your names and bar codes from the information you provide us on computer disk. We'll deliver your cards all ready for photo placement, lamination and issue. Then you can use the software for new hires and replacement badges.
We also provide special camouflage techniques to protect your bar codes from improper copying. Cover Code camouflages the bar code with straight bars or even your organization's distinctive logo. The design does not detract from the design of your card. Nor does it affect the laminate bond as much as most other types of covers.
Convenience in Issuing
IDenticard cards can be created and issued through digital imaging or through film-based camera systems . They can also be laser-printed; names and bar codes (if needed) printed in the BIG, BOLD type styles of today's laser printers, making them easy to read.
Reader Compatibility
There are three ways to make sure your time & attendance/payroll reporting ID badges will work in your system: test, test, test. IDenticard will send you sample cards exactly like the type of cards you are ordering. You can make sure that our cards are perfectly compatible with your system.
Protecting Your Professional Image
ID badges are the foundation of your security system. Because they are carried and displayed by every member of your organization, they will also be seen by persons in the community, by customers, suppliers and others. In many ways, they are like your corporate letterhead or business cards. ID badges carry your image to the outside world.
Because we recognize the importance of well-designed security ID badges, IDenticard cards are attractive as well as secure. We use your colors and your logo to custom design your cards, keeping in mind both aesthetics and functionality.
