Plastic ID badges or Identification cards can be found in many different industries and act as a method to - as the name implies - identify the badge wearer or carrier. These ID cards offer an added security measure and act as a deterrent for individuals who do not have permission to be in a certain restricted area.

Security features of plastic ID cards and badges
Though the use of personalization, plastic ID badges can be produced as a cost effective method to provide an added sense of security to any location. Plastic card printers can personalize these plastic cards by adding individuals photos and/or names. Signature panels can then be added for even further security. Plastic ID badges are also often printed with a hole or slot punched out in order to allow the cardholder the ability to use a badge clip or lanyard to secure the card onto their person or clothing making the ID badge visible to anyone passing by.
