Reduce your use of physical ID cards by issuing your digital credentials to your team using customizable software programs.
For secure ID issuance, Asure ID card software licenses allow organizations to replace physical ID cards with digital versions as JPG or PDF with functional barcodes for scanning with time and attendance or other security applications.
For check in/out applications, cloud based tracking solutions like Lobby Track software, allows organizations to issue digital credentials directly to a smartphone or by email, which can be scanned by visitors, members, employees to confirm arrival onsite.
These zero-waste codes are scannable on a mobile device, tablet or laptop and can be used to verify identity and access permissions using a QR code ID badge for employees in government, healthcare, events management, corporations and non profits.
CARD PRINTERS
Reduce energy waste your company produces even further by using eco-friendly ID card printers.
Newer model printers, like the HID FARGO HDP6600 are GreenCircle® certified for energy savings. This high resolution retransfer printer automatically reduces energy usage by turning off unused components with quick start up once the user is ready.
The Evolis Primacy 2 is another card printer with eco friendly development. In addition to low energy usage with automated sleep mode, the Primacy 2 comes with the least amount of packing material, designed to reduce waste that ends up in landfills.
In addition to using significantly less energy and environmentally responsible packaging, these newer ID card printers have options for wasteless lamination and other upgrades to extend usable life for RFID cards so that fewer replacement badges are needed.
ID CARD STOCK
Companies that are required to issue physical ID badges have a variety of eco-friendly options available. The most exciting option for 2023 is the HID Eco Card Seos Bamboo RFID badge, the first earth friendly credential for use with physical access control systems.
High density paper badges are a great option for conferences and events where badges are printed onsite and only needed for a short period of time. These are printed using high speed inkjet technology which print CR80 and oversized credentials in as little as 2 seconds per card.
If your organization needs to print ID badges needed for longer periods of time, then Biodegradable or Recycled PVC badges are a popular choice for blank white stock.
To extend the life of your badges and reduce issuance of new cards, we recommend using a protective overlaminate to extend the life of these badges to reduce reissuance. Regular ID badges typically last 1-2 years, however with overlaminate they can last up to 4-5 years extending their usable life by 300%.
ACCESSORIES
Most organizations with an in person workforce provide employees with accessories for their printed ID badges in order to help them display, protect, and carry their badges.
To help organizations meet their environmental goals, we offer biodegradable ID lanyards and badge holders for issuance to employees in environmentally conscious. Our eco friendly lanyards and badge holders are fully compostable, made of rigid, organic-based materials.
Our biodegradable ID lanyards are made of organic cotton and come in a limited set of colors to choose from. Our biodegradable ID badge holders come in two colors to choose from, black and white.
