ID Badges Can Be Improved for Easier Access By A Simple Modification
Look at most ID badges and you’ll find a plastic or PVC card, rectangular in shape, and kept in a wallet, purse or maybe a badge holder. For increased versatility and visibility, there is a better way: users can wear them suspended from a lanyard or badge reel, so fumbling to find them becomes a moot point, and makes it easier for your security and other personnel to spot them. Using this method, though, requires the card itself to be modified or “punched” as part of the production process, and typically, this was done by using a special tool, or sometimes three special tools. This could be problematic and time-consuming, but recently, a tool has been developed that provides three kinds of modifications, all in a single tool. The 3-in-1 Slot Punch is a one-stop machining shop for your badges; it can round corners of cards, punch round holes, and punch slot openings, creating a much more customized card for your organization.
Many Advantages, But Just One Tool
Having several tools to get the customization you need can get costly, and sometimes results in a nuisance from a materials management standpoint. By consolidating the machining aspects of your card production, you can cut down on the time it takes to get the card completed, and into use by your staff or guests. In addition, by using the rounded corner function, you’re able to remove sharp edges that might exist on your cards, reducing the possibility of cuts by users, and also minimizing the damage to badge holders that could get frayed by those same rough edges. The result is a much more finished and professional-looking card that will stand up better to wear and tear, and allows you to determine the type of suspension version you’d like to use. You could opt to have users display the cards horizontally or vertically, and even allow users the convenience of a swivel lanyard. The choices and combinations are endless, and your organization gets the convenience of production in a way that serves your particular needs best.
