Fargo DTC 1000

It is critical today to protect people, physical and virtual assets of your organization. There are many security related processes to implement to insure that your assets are protected from without and within. One of the ways that many organizations provide security is through the authorized identification card printed with the plastic ID card printer.

Cards are printed by badge printers and provided to authorized employees, students, members, contractors, clients, customers and other groups based upon the needs of the organization. Benefits to carrying the card may be authorization to enter certain areas, debit functions at various locations, discounts on purchases, and many other outcomes.

Plain image grade PVC cards are standard and frequently used for small and medium businesses. Some organizations, however, require a more sophisticated card that will be tamper free and reduce the number of security breaches throughout the organization.

If you are looking to secure your cards in a greater way, some of the following tips may help you produce a more secure card and environment.

Look for cardstock that meets durability standards and cracking resistance standards.

Look for cards that have tear resistance designs. These will keep the photo from being easily tampered with.

Look for cards that may be preprinted with security features hard to duplicate in small volume. Multiple images and or holograms printed on the card increases the difficulty in counterfeiting. Other pre printed security features may include invisible text seen by ultraviolet light and micro printing. Micro printing can be customized with different font and text sizing, by misspellings and other unique options known only to the security areas of the organization.

Cards can also be laminated with custom or standard holographic images to make the card harder to tamper with and difficult to counterfeit. Holograms also extend the durability of the card with additional image protection. The lamination also increases protection for cards that are in rough environments are that are constantly used for bar code or magnetic swipe reading.

The custom laminate can be quite unique and it can display an image or images that are specific to the authorizing group. Most driver’s licenses have single or multiple screens of the same picture to display the genuine authenticity of the issued card.
