Identification cards serve a wide variety of purposes. They can be used at school, office, hospitals, companies and many more. They can be used not only for identification, but also for security, access and entry to certain premises. It’s no wonder that the ID card printing industry has experienced a boom in recent years. In fact, ID card printing systems are now even available to common people, so printing these cards would be much easier. Below you will find the different types of ID cards that are commonly used these days.

Child ID cards

The world is not as safe as it used to be, so it is important that parents go the extra mile to keep their children safe. Getting kids to wear ID cards is vital these days. The child should ideally carry the ID card and at the same time, the parent, guardian and school should have a copy of the child’s ID card. This type of card must include essential information such as the child’s name and address, parents’ names and contact details, medical emergency details, the child’s photograph and date of birth, height, weight , hair color and other identifying information about the child. This card can be useful in emergency situations, such as when the child goes missing or becomes ill while at school. Make sure this ID card is laminated to prevent smudges and to make the card last a long time.

School ID cards

School ID cards are used for purposes other than identification. For one, they are used to track attendance. Before the start of class, some teachers collect student IDs and call each on the ID to find out which of the students is absent from class. The badges also help with meal planning and grant access to certain areas of the school, such as the library or computer lab. In most cases, if a student does not have an ID, such as if she lost it, she will not be able to borrow books from the library, even if she needs them for her homework. Therefore, it is very important that a student take proper care of her identification card.

Employee ID cards

Employee IDs serve a multitude of purposes. They are mainly used for employee identification, which is especially important in large companies where it is impossible for employers to know everyone who works in the company. The badges are also used to give certain employees exclusive access to certain areas of the building or to confidential information. Enhanced security features, such as magnetic stripes and holograms, have been designed and incorporated into ID cards to prevent intruders from entering the business. Also, these cards help build camaraderie and camaraderie among the workers because each of them could be called by name.

No matter what type of ID card you need, you can print it yourself with a Zebra printer or a Fargo printer. Be sure to decide factors such as color, single or two-sided printing, and security features first so you can make an informed decision when it’s time to purchase your ID card printer.
