Identification cards have become a part of peoples lives.

Before people go out for work or for any other purpose, they have made it habit to check on their wallets to see if their identification cards are there.

For business owners, IDs serve a multitude of purpose.

Aside from the obvious, which is identification, ID cards are now also being used additional security, access, and so many more.

If you are a business owner and you want to save money on printing identification cards for your employees, here are some smart tips on how to cut down the costs and make your pocket heave a sigh of relief.

One of the primary concerns of many business is the security of their ID card printers. Recently, Evolis released a new encoding option that has been added to all of their top selling Evolis printers.

It is known as the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) Gen 2 RFID encoding option. Currently this option is only available on the Pebble and Dualys, however there is a good chance that it will soon be integrated with other printers in their line as well.

Just like with all new security technology it is important to understand what exactly it does, otherwise it is impossible to determine how beneficial it really is.

The primary reason that this new encoding technology was added to their most popular ID card printers is because it offers several specific benefits.

UHF Gen 2 RFID technology has already become a standard technology in terms of asset management, such as bar codes and labels, however just now being added to ID card printers.

The basis of this technology is that it will allow for a wider read range, which also allows readers to read multiple cards simultaneously.

The benefits of this to the average business is that by reading multiple cards at once, there will be improved speed and convenience, which boosts work flow and scalability.

It adds a new level of security to ID cards.

The Evolis printer that was chosen to carry this technology first was based upon popularity.

In the end, the Pebble and Dualys were both chosen because they are both extremely popular not only among larger companies but small and mid-sized businesses as well.

Evolis printers can be considered a premier choice in terms of creating ID badges for employees, customers, visitors, and students in regards to both security and traffic management.

They also work with a number of applications that are driven by access control such as high security areas as well as areas in which crowd control is vital, such as amusement parks and ski resorts.

Evolis ID card printers are an excellent choice for implementing the UHF Gen 3 RFID technology.

Evolis ID card printers bring this technology to the most businesses in the shortest amount of time.

Evolis printers are designed to bring benefits like improved security, more efficient crowd control, and greater convenience will be felt by businesses and patrons alike.

There are a lot of companies that have chosen to outsource their ID card printing needs and for some it might be the best choice.

However, if you look at what ID card printers cost over the long term as well as some of the benefits that they provide, it becomes clear that this is one area in which outsourcing might be hurting your business.

One of the primary reason that some businesses choose to outsource is because the initial investment is relatively small compared to purchasing the equipment necessary to produce their own cards.

However, once the initial investment of purchasing ID card printers is covered, the cost of outsourcing is much higher than printing ID cards in-house.

Basic ID card printers are becoming more inexpensive as technology continues to advance.

Currently, you can get a quality, durable Fargo printer for only several thousand dollars. If you print a lot ID cards, then this is probably less than what you spend in a year outsourcing.

Another thing to consider is what need your company has for ID cards. In general, the more people that need them, the better it is to purchase ID card printers and create them in-house.

Whenever you outsource ID cards, it will take anywhere from several weeks before you receive them.

It becomes a problem when you consider how often a card can be lost or damaged by your employees.

If all of your employees need ID cards on a daily basis, your employees cannot afford to wait several weeks to get a replacement.

A final advantage of using ID card printers in-house is that they allow for complete customization.

Once you decide what security features are needed or what design you want, you can purchase a Fargo printer that fits your needs.

If you outsource your ID card printing, then you will often be limited in both design and available security features.

ID card printers may seem necessary only for large companies with thousands of employees, however once you consider all of the intangibles as well (such as flexibility and time savings), then getting a Fargo printer becomes a much better offer.

In terms of cost, an in-house printer is much less expensive over the lifetime of the equipment, plus many ID cards are rewritable which saves even more money.

By printing in-house you be able to print any card that you need, exactly when you need it. No more waiting for a month for your order of 10 cards.

You get much more flexibility and customization options when you take care of ID card printing in-house.
