Better Visitor Control? Start With Your Visitor Log Book

  • July 1st, 2014

visitor badge self-expiringWe’ve all experienced it: we come into an office and are asked to sign-in. What commonly happens, by no fault of our own? We inadvertently see the details of the people that signed in before us. There’s a better way, and it could be a simple step that increases security in your office or building, and it requires no batteries, wiring, or monthly contracts. What is it? Your next Visitor Log Book.

Special Log Books Protect Privacy, Plus Badges Self-Expire

Unlike standard name labels common at most sign-in stations, these special Visitor Badge Log Books have a protection system built right in: patented Visually Changing Paper (VCP) technology. This technology uses coating and printing capabilities to create materials that reveal a message, color or design after a specified time period. First, when a visitor puts their name and details down, the information is recorded, but protected from being visible to others. It works sort of like carbon paper, but doesn’t leave a visible impression other visitors can see. Second, when a visitor’s badge is activated at sign-in, a special inking system kicks into gear, presenting in red the words “VOID” usually within 14-16 hours after issuance. Different timelines are also available, including immediate, 4 hours, full day, one week or one month. Self-expiring technology means one-time use, and your sign-in process gets an added layer of security. This reduces the chance for the visitor to re-use the badge another time, and allows your staff to see it clearly if they do.

Better Protection For Staff and Visitors

Businesses, schools, doctor’s offices and other organizations have a similar issue; managing visitors to their buildings and offices. While typical sign-in sheets have been the norm for quite some time, more is expected in order to provide better safety and protection for people, and self-expiring badges might be a perfect solution. Better than a piece of paper on a clipboard, these specially-designed log books allow a guest to sign-in, peel off their own badge, and not reveal their sign-in details to the person coming in after them. Greater privacy is one benefit, and couple this with the added feature of the badge expiring on its own, and you’ll have an affordable two-fold visitor management system implemented in no time. This item can also be customized with your logo or brand colors, so call us for more details on this.

Self-expiring badges do a great job of preventing unauthorized use of visitor badges, and offer better visibility in the visitor management process. Even more, the added security feature of the badge logbook prevents visitors from seeing who might have signed in ahead of them, which helps protect the privacy of visitors on your campus.

It could be one of the simplest, affordable visitor control management systems you’ve seen, and make this function very easy for your organization to implement.
