Q: What is the identification industry standard size for the employee photo?

When creating an employee ID card or badge, it's important to use a photo that is properly cropped to a default size of 1" x 1.25". This rectangular shape is ideal for most oval-shaped faces. Additionally, the face should cover at least 70% of the photo area to ensure that it can be easily recognized from a distance of 4 feet or more.

Q: Do you recommend testing printed ID cards and badges before handing them out?

Yes, we do recommend testing printed ID cards and badges! This is part of our eight-step issuance process. The last step is called "Verification". Even if you are printing on-premises or having eXpress badging do all the printing for you, it's recommended to spot-check within each batch to ensure they look great and work well in all systems. It's crucial to avoid encountering any issues after you have already distributed hundreds or more photo ID badges. This step prevents any rare issues from occurring and ensures the quality of the badges."

Q: How long does an employee photo ID card printer last?

Employee ID badge printers can last anywhere from a couple of years to over five years, depending on maintenance. if you are not using your cleaning kit , start doing so now.

Q: Why should we invest in an ID card lamination module?

You can make your employee badges last for many years longer by purchasing a printer with a lamination module. We recommend lamination for worn ID badges with RFID or when swiped in readers. You can always place your badges in protective holders, but the cost of the bulky holders can outweigh the benefits of a lightweight laminated ID badge can be a deciding factor.

Q: How do we print on the back of the badge?

You have a few options to print on the back of the badge. The most common is selecting an employee ID card printer that can duplex print. Alternatively, you can order preprinted stock with the back already printed. Another is using a single-sided printer and running the cards through twice, but this is not as efficient.
