Our Photo ID Badge Toolkit
Veonics® Platform
Secure Identity Credential Management
Veonics® is our secure, cloud-based identity credential management platform, delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS). It helps organizations manage badgeholder data, photos, badge designs, authorized users, printing workflows, and integrations.
Veonics can also exchange information with HRIS, SIS, access control, time and attendance, and other systems that serve as authoritative sources of identity data.
Photo ID Systems
YOU PRINT Onsight
For organizations that issue badges onsite, eXpress badging® provides the printers, card technologies, supplies, Veonics® platform, system configuration, training, and ongoing technical support needed to build a secure and repeatable issuance process.
Our goal is not simply to sell a printer. We help configure the environment so authorized users can manage badgeholder data and photos, print credentials, and follow a documented issuance process.
Production Services
WE PRINT Photo ID Badges for You
Organizations that prefer to outsource badge production can use our WE PRINT services as a Badging-as-a-Service solution.
eXpress badging® securely manages approved data, photos, designs, card technologies, printing, quality control, and fulfillment for recurring badge programs, rebadge projects, multi-location deployments, and other identification initiatives.
Factory Solutions
Custom Identification Products
Our Factory solutions include custom-manufactured identification products such as printed card stock, fulfillment ID card services, technology-based credentials, RFID cards, badge holders, accessories, digital cameras, slot punch devices, and related components.
This allows eXpress badging® to integrate platforms, systems, production, and manufactured products into a single coordinated identification solution, rather than requiring customers to manage multiple disconnected vendors.
When eXpress badging® Is the Best Fit
eXpress badging® is an excellent fit for organizations that view photo ID issuance as an ongoing business process, not simply a one-time product purchase.
Our best customers value repeatability, security, documented processes, knowledgeable support, and long-term lifecycle management.
You may be an especially strong fit if your organization:
Our job is to manage the complexity behind photo ID issuance so your authorized users can confidently manage badgeholder information, capture and maintain photos, print or request badges, and issue credentials consistently.
When We May Not Be the Best Fit
eXpress badging® may not be the best fit when the primary objective is simply to purchase the lowest-cost product online and independently manage everything that follows.
Some organizations prefer a transactional, do-it-yourself approach and have the internal expertise, time, and resources to manage the complete photo ID issuance lifecycle themselves.
eXpress badging® may not be the best fit when:
There is nothing wrong with that model.
Our value is greatest when an organization wants an identity solutions partner, not simply a place to purchase a box.
Our Experience Timeline
Founding Story
eXpress badging® began in 1993 with a problem that needed to be solved quickly.
Joe French was working in the identification industry for a national company when a large hospital needed approximately 3,000 photo ID badges produced within six weeks for a Kronos go-live. The permanent badging system and supplies Joe had sold could not be delivered for approximately 12 weeks.
With his employer’s approval, Laina French established Express Badging Services to provide a temporary solution. Using an HP LaserJet 4 printer and specialty card stock (Teslin™), the team produced personalized photo ID badges with unique barcodes, security masking, and return-if-lost information.
The hospital received its badges in four weeks.
From there, eXpress badging became a trusted resource for projects requiring fast production and outsourced badge issuance. Joe became a major referral source while eXpress badging also became one of his significant supply customers.
Ten years later, Joe joined Laina in incorporating Express Badging Services, Inc., bringing new technology and streamlined processes into the business. The company, its capabilities, and its team have continued to grow from there.
One proud callout: Joe’s former employer became an important vendor partner to eXpress badging®, a relationship that continues today.
A customer had an urgent problem. We found a way to do the job right. That became a business.
