Now that there is a powerful and strong card printer lying on one of the desktops or counters at your company, it is time for you to start using it. You have got everything you need to start producing your own ID badges and you have even made sure that the ID card system installed is tailored suit to your own particular needs.
You thought that deciding which ID card system components were more suitable for your company had been difficult. But now you realize that designing the ID badge that all your employees and visitors will wear is even more complex to you.  However, you should not worry; the following tips will help you create awesome and professional ID cards your staff members will be proud to wear.
Fortunately, your ID card software will come with pre made card templates that can be easily tailored suit to your own preferences and it will also allow you to incorporate to your identification devices all your employees’ information you want to be printed on them.

·         The ID card you will produce for your employees will be a corporate communication tool and, therefore, it should contain that information pertaining to your company that will identify it as part of your organization: business name and logo. If you have a standard corporate font and colors, make sure you include them.

·         Make sure all the ID badges you produce for your employees contain the same information: full name, position and area are the basic details you need to include.

·         Allow some space to add your employees’ picture. Having their photograph printed not only helps your staff members feel more identified with the organization but it also helps your security officials tell without doubt that the card holder is who he says to be.

·         Decide the orientation you will give to the ID cards: portrait or landscape, what will depend on the basic elements you plan to incorporate to your badges. Make sure that the orientation allows the card’s data to be easily read and that it does not like all crammed up.

·         Take your company’s security into consideration and think thoroughly on the security features that you need to incorporate to the identification device. In order to do this, read carefully your business organization’s security policy and discuss with the safety department which are the features that should not be missing in your card. Bear in mind that the more you include, the better.
