PVC badge and access badge
Custom PVC badge printing, from a single unit
Photo, name, barcode, encoded chip: every badge is produced individually. Order one badge for a new hire, or four hundred for a trade show.
Badge types
Four uses, one material
The PVC badge adapts to what it has to do. Each use has its own page.
Employee badge and access control
Photo, department, encoded chip. Reorder one at a time when someone joins or loses a badge.
Visitor badge
Numbered, printed ahead, handed out at reception. Reusable or named.
Event badge
One badge per attendee, with their name and code. Produced and shipped before the event.
Student card
Photo and barcode as variable data, for a whole institution in one order.
Encoding
A badge that opens your doors
The PVC badge can carry a chip encoded during production, not afterwards. That is what sets it apart from a badge that is merely printed.
Encoding is built into the printing flow: the badge arrives ready to use, with no programming step on your side.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us about badges
Can I order a single badge?
Yes, with no minimum order. It is the most common case: a new hire, or a lost badge to replace.
What is the difference between a PVC badge and a PVC card?
The material is identical: same plastic, same credit-card format. « Badge » refers to the use, identifying a person, usually with a photo and a number.
Can I print a different photo on each badge?
Yes. That is what variable data means: one order, as many visuals, names and numbers as there are badges.
How long does it take to produce fifty badges?
48 working hours after the order is validated, whatever the quantity, then shipping the next day.
Can the badges be used for access control?
Yes, with a Mifare 1K chip encoded during production. For a project requiring anti-cloning or cryptographic security, the NTAG424 chip is available.
Where are the badges made?
In Épinal for Europe, in Québec for North America. Local production avoids intra-zone customs fees.
