HID Changes ID Card Markings
HID Global recently announced that they will be discontinuing inkjet card numbering
markings on their ID cards and implementing new state-of-the-art laser engraving technology. The environmentally-friendly move to laser engraving eliminates the use of solvents on all ID1 cards (including Clamshell cards), which reduces the ecological footprint of this type of card production.
Laser engraved external card numbers -- like the former inkjetted numbers -- will still be located on the back side of HID cards, in the lower right-hand corner. The newly enhanced design will be available for no extra charge.
Please note that HID key fobs and tags will not be affected by this change.
If you have questions about this change, please contact an ID Professional at (800) 321-4405.
