Student ID Badges

For decades schools have issued student ID cards at the start of the school year to students and staff. These badges allow for easy identification of students’ grade level, participation in school programs and often include important details for the cardholder like the bell schedule or school calendar. With a simple swipe of the ID card’s magnetic stripe, barcode, QR code, students are able to pay for their lunch, check out library books, and/or access secured rooms and athletic facilities after school in a high-level security fashion.
Staff and teachers are often issued ID badges to designate their department, gain access to secure areas of the facility and punch a time clock. Using smart card technology employee ID cards can be completely customized combining multiple functions into a single ID card and durable enough to withstand daily use.
