Photo ID Equipment and Supply GuidePhoto ID is an important security feature for schools, businesses and the government. While many organizations use a Polaroid camera to take photo ID pictures, more are using card creation software, such as Card 5 or Episuite, and digital printers to create ID cards quickly.ABC Office offers a wide range of digital photo printers and card creation software, providing the perfect photo ID system for you. We also carry more traditional photo ID systems including Polaroid cameras and "All Photo ID" systems. No matter which method of photo ID creation you prefer, we have the equipment and the supplies you need, including lanyards, badge holders, and badge reels. We also carry die cutters, pouch laminators, slot punches and photo trimmers. To learn which photo ID system is best for you, read this guide or visit our photo id index. Digital Card PrintersWe offer several brands of digital printers for photo ID card printing, including Fargo, Eltron® / Zebra®, and Magicard. Choose a digital photo printer that prints on one or both sides of the PVC card, in color, or in black and white. A PVC card printer takes anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 seconds to print a card.Some of our digital card printers have optional magnetic stripe encoders. Magnetic stripe encoders encode valuable information on the stripe of the card. This allows the information to be read when it is swiped through a magnetic card reader. An example of a magnetic stripe would be the stripe of information on a credit card. Card Creation SoftwareCard creation software allows you to design the perfect ID card. Some photo ID software links to databases of information, eliminating the need to enter information onto each card. Card creation software also encodes magnetic cards with barcodes, magnetic stripes and smart chips for greater security in your company. We carry several brands of card creation software including Episuite, Card 5 and Assure.Magnetic Readers, Writer/EncodersMagnetic Writers/Encoders encode or write data on the three-tracks of a ½-inch magnetic stripe. Magnetic stripes are available in high and low coercivity. High coercivity stripes last longer and are black. They are designed to store data for a long period of time. Low coercivity stripes are brown and are designed to be rewritten multiple times. We carry a Magnetic encoder that is also a card reader, the model 3170. The 3170 encodes only low coercivity stripes but reads both high and low coercivity.Polaroid CamerasSome companies prefer to take ID card pictures using a Polaroid camera. We offer a wide selection of cameras with 2, 4, and 6 lenses. Our two lens Polaroid cameras make excellent passport cameras.Digital Printer SuppliesWhen you purchase a digital printer, you will need several photo ID supplies.
Slot PunchesSlot punches punch holes in the PVC cards so they can be hung on a lanyard, badge strap clip or badge reel. We offer hand-held or industrial slot punches depending on the volume of cards you need to punch. Our high-end, heavy-duty Model 1500 LA punches up to seven 10-mil thick cards in one punch. Note: Punch ID cards after they are printed only, if punched before a printer malfunction may occur.Photo Die CuttersPhoto die cutters easily and accurately cut your photos into passport-sized pictures. We offer manual and electric die cutters, depending on the volume of photos you need to cut.Photo ID Supplies and Accessories
