Our 10 Reasons to Choose Photo ID Cards for Your Organisation

Photo ID cards are fast becoming an essential asset to every business. They enhance security, build trust, offer reassurance and boost efficiency. Therefore, creating a safer, more professional environment for your employees and customers.  

With over two decades of experience in printing branded photo ID cards, we understand the specific needs in varying sectors and recognise the importance of quality and reliability. So, if you are considering ID cards here are our top 10 reasons for photo ID cards and the benefits they offer. 

1. Streamlined & Reliable Verification

The most obvious benefit is easy identification. Your employees and visitors are instantly recognisable both internally and externally by colleagues and customers as ambassadors of your organisation. They double up as name badges too! 

2. Enhanced Security

ID cards offer one of the simplest ways to secure your workplace without needing additional staff or expensive security measures. In allowing access to the building or entry to authorised areas, ID cards demonstrate to your employees the importance of their security and offer protection over your company assets and data. 

3. Convenient Compliance

A simple way to encapsulate the key information required to verify your employees is all neatly presented in a familiar format. Capable of validating the cardholder’s skills, role or position with visible compliance logos for specific industry standards or health and safety regulations. 

4. Safety and Reassurance

In sensitive industries like healthcare and education, photo ID cards protect vulnerable people by ensuring only those authorised to be around these individuals and within the premises are there, safeguarding their needs. 

5. Cost-Effective Solution

A physical ID card does not rely on expensive digital technology, and by only ordering ID cards when you need them, they are a budget-friendly alternative to the set-up costs involved in buying and maintaining your own ID card printer.  

6. Marketing in Miniature

When worn by your representatives with a lanyard or clip, ID cards are constantly on display promoting your company wherever they are. Use them to present a positive brand image with your logo and core values and include contact information for convenience. 

7. Sustainable Choice

Photo ID cards are made using recyclable materials and are also highly durable to maximise the useable life. Furthermore, by partnering with The Photo ID Card People you reduce the environmental impact associated with the overseas manufacture and transportation of ID card printers, in favour of ID card production on machines made in the UK. 

8. Team Building

Often seen as a security measure, ID cards go far beyond that. For all employees, charities, sports clubs, and volunteer groups, ID cards provide a sense of belonging and association for team members. A customised ID card with their name and the branding of the organisation promotes the value of each individual and increases their loyalty to you. 

9. Promote Professionalism

ID cards can be a simple and inexpensive way to enhance the perception of your business and your staff. A unified design shows professionalism and an investment in the details helping to improve your brand reputation, increase trust and boost confidence in your organisation. 

10. Simplified Access Control

Photo ID cards can be integrated with access control systems, allowing automated entry to specific areas based on employee roles and permissions. An instant way to differentiate between departments, they are invaluable for larger teams or facilities with multiple visitors or contractors.
