Attention Small Business Owners
Adding a security feature to your ID card not only makes it more difficult for someone to duplicate your card, but it also gives your card a more professional, finished look. As a small business, one of the advantages to having your own ID card system is the ability to change your card design whenever you want. Entry-level ID card systems are now so affordable that even small companies are able to produce their own high-quality, well-branded cards in-house. Remember: just because you're a small business does not mean you have to have a simple ID card! Here are some easy-to-implement, budget-friendly, and cost-effective ways to add security to your card without investing in a laminating card printer:
Fargo HoloMark Security Cards
Consider swapping out your plain white ID cards with Fargo’s HoloMark Security cards. This card stock features a 3-dimensional holographic foil image that changes color and appearance when viewed at an angle. The holographic foil is available in gold or silver and in both a horizontal or a vertical orientation. 
Zebra Premier Plus Hologram Composite Cards Available in an “Authentic Eagle” design and a “Key” design, the hologram is embedded into the card's surface and repeats as it fully covers the entire surface. This card is made from a polyester/PVC blend (composite) which makes it more durable and less prone to breakage. Translation? Fewer reprints for you! 
Magicard HoloKote Cards Limited to only Magicard ID card printers, HoloKote is a pattern that's applied during the printing process, and it has a distinct watermark type appearance. It’s a standard feature you can turn on or off and costs you nothing to use! For an additional small fee, you can purchase a “Custom Key” with your own unique design. Use this in combination with Magicard’s HoloPatch Cards for a truly unique look. If you'd like additional ideas or tips on how to enhance the security on the ID cards for your small business, an ID Professional is the perfect resource. Give us a call today at (800) 321-4405!
