But how do you do that without making a huge dent in your budget? A laminating unit with holographic overlay is out of the question as it’s either too much for your budget or your card printer is simply not upgradeable. Well, there’s no reason to panic as a number of the ID printer manufacturers have added a line of visual security cards to their product offerings over the last several years. Visual security cards, you ask... what a great idea... please, tell me more! Depending on the level of security your application calls for, visual security cards integrate visual security elements into your card without the cost of a new printing system or lamination. With low-cost, out-of-the-box solutions to moderately priced custom solutions, visual security cards will enhance your badge’s resistance against ID counterfeiting because their features are difficult to replicate. There is a range of options as each manufacturer specializes in a different type of visual security technology. Fargo and Magicard tend to offer 2- or 3-dimensional foil holograms stamped into the surface of the card while Zebra has settled on embedded translucent holograms designed into the body of the card. To help determine which visual security card option will best meet your needs and your business requirements, contact an ID Professional at (800) 321-4405. We're always happy to help!
