Today, access to many places is controlled by means of identification badges. These range from badges enabling employees of a company or institution to access the premises, to access badges for staff and students in schools and universities.
Identification badges are an important link in the identification and access process. The quality of identification partly determines the fluidity of movement within the premises, particularly in companies or institutions where employees have to move regularly between different rooms or buildings (offices, meeting rooms, storage areas, laboratories, etc.).
Easy access and mobility
When access and movement are controlled by identification badges, a number of problems can arise. The magnetic chip or antenna in ID cards can be damaged, and this can block the identification process (access denied, error message, etc.).
It's also essential for employees to be able to sign in and out of the workplace quickly and easily.
The same applies when badge verification is based on visual elements printed on the card: name, photo, number, scanner code. These last elements can be erased when identification cards are rubbed against objects in pockets, cases or surfaces on which they are placed.
Badge holders not only protect smart cards from bending and breaking, but also from scratches that can render the information printed on them illegible. The rigid plastic badge holders we offer are therefore sturdy and completely transparent, so that the information on the badges remains legible and identification can be carried out without removing the card from the case.
You can also attach a safety lanyard to the badge holder to prevent it from getting lost, and keep it close at hand when you need to present it.
Corporate image
In addition to the practicality of their sharpness and sturdiness, badge holders also reflect a company's image. The way a company or institution is perceived determines the basis of its interactions with customers and employees. In fact, a company's image determines the trust its customers place in it, as well as the commitment and motivation of its staff.
The construction of a brand image is based on a certain number of elements which constitute a veritable symbolic capital on which the success and longevity of companies depend. A company's symbolic capital is based on the elements the brand communicates through details such as the values it upholds and the quality of its customer relations, as well as visual elements such as the aesthetics and harmony of its designs.
These visual elements include items such as name badges. These represent a detail that allows people to get a first impression of the company. Indeed, they are one of the first objects a visitor or new employee receives. If badges are well protected, they retain a clean, well-groomed appearance, helping to nurture a positive perception of the brand.
