The best approach depends primarily on your staffing, badge volume, cost, and the urgency of issuing permanent badges. Organizations that need immediate badge issuance and have trained personnel to manage printers, software, supplies, maintenance, and security may benefit from printing on-site. Organizations that can allow time for production and shipping may benefit from outsourcing the printing process to eXpress badging®.
