The Benefit of Customizing Visitor Badges

Because visitor passes are the most visible aspect of your visitor registration system, you want to be sure that they reflect positively and contain the type of information that is most useful to you in identifying visitors at your facilities.

Consequently, you want to be sure that you give some thought to the design and content of a visitor ID badge.

Here are a few customization ideas to consider.

Create a different design for each category of visitor. For example, the a visitor pass for a contractor will be different from the pass of a temporary employee or a weekend visitor. This allows your employees to visually identify the type of visitor in the building.

Include a barcode in the badge templates so that it automatically prints on each visitor badge. This technique is particularly helpful in busy lobby because it allows the lobby attendant to quickly check out the visitor with a simple scan of the barcode using a barcode reader.

Your ID badge template can be set up to print a different color visitor badge for each day of the week. This is a good way to easily identify whether badges have been issued that day or a previous day.

Also include a time stamp of the date and time that the visitor checked in as a way to see if the badge was issued that day.

Print a photo of the visitor on the visitor badge, captured by a scan of their license during visitor registration, or captured with a web cam.

You also may want to consider including the photo of the employee that the guest is visiting. This allows employees to easily see who is responsible for that visitor.

Including the logo of your company on the badge is a good way to reinforce your branding.
