Q: How do we know what badge numbers are assigned to each person?

If you need to know which badge numbers are assigned to each person, we offer a "Read and Post" service that provides the RFID number in a format that can be easily imported and found on the printed packing slip. This means you can easily identify who has been assigned a unique card number and integrate it into your systems without having to manually enroll each card number. In addition, we also offer a "Clone" service for 125KHz proximity cards that allows us to match the numbers with the current badges. This makes it easier for you to swap the badges as the new ones will already be enabled.

Q: Can you sort the ID badges and ship them to multiple locations?

If you provide us with the necessary information, we can sort your ID badges by department, last name, and first name. This will make it easier for you to ship them to multiple locations accurately. We use our "Sort, Bundle, Pack and Ship" service to sort the badges; they are placed in a 9" x 12" baggie and banded together. We also include a packing slip with the badges, making it easier to keep track of them. If you prefer a specific order for printing the badges, we can arrange that, too. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Q: Can we use our own ID badge or card design?

The answer is yes, we can use your design, or you can start by selecting one of our design templates. eXpress badging has the necessary expertise to create a secure badge from scratch, or we can work with your design team and the template files they provide. For more information, please visit our Badge Design Center .

Q: Can we use our existing proprietary RFID or other ID card stock?

If you have your own cardstock that can only be obtained through a restricted channel, we can still print on it for an extra fee. However, the stock must be new and unused, and we recommend that you consult with your eXpress badging ID Specialist before purchasing any new stock. We may be able to provide them as part of our engagement, so it's worth checking with us first.

Q: How do we know the ID badges you print for us will work in our card reader system?

We have a formal ID Card Testing Process. We understand your requirements for card reader technology, including RFID, barcodes, and magnetic stripes. We will send you test samples to ensure that they work seamlessly with your existing systems. Before we issue the first photo ID badge, we require signed approval forms to confirm that the badges communicate effectively with 100% accuracy.
