Get your Customized Lanyards from Idstore.tapeandmedia.com

Branded items are used to promote your brand, event, or concert or for your employees. It is a tried and true way to promote your brand. For years people have used pens, badges, shirts, lanyards and a multitude of other objects as a way to get their name out. From uses as give away items to clients and customers to using them internally everyone has seen these items in circulation. Lanyards can be custom made to display your brand. There are many options as to the quality and type of lanyard you choose and we are going to explain the difference!

Lanyards can be customized using these three processes. They can be Silk Screened, printed on using Dye Sublimation and Woven. Silk Screening is the least expensive way to get your name on your lanyard. This is done using a machine process that applies a design to the surface of the lanyards fabric, it does tend to fade over time. Silk Screening is perfect for events that are going to be short where the end user would only wear it for a specific event, trade show or concert. Dye Sublimation is a process by which the lanyard’s fabric is dyed. It is a longer lasting way to put your brand on the lanyard, but it will also fade over time, not as quickly as silk screening. The best way to produce a custom lanyard is using different color woven fabric to make your custom logo. Woven lanyards are washable and long lasting, perfect for long term use in any environment.

Lanyards also com in four different widths: 3/8thinch, 5/8th inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch. A wider lanyard is more durable and stronger with the most visibility. They also offer “breakaway clasps” for safety around machines that a lanyard may inadvertently get caught in so that the wearer will lose the lanyard before anything else!

Customized logos can be easily incorporated into the lanyard. The lanyard itself can be 12 different colors. They can be further customized by choosing the clasp you attach your key, ID card, or photo to, clasp options are sewn on, metal, plastic and a detachable clasp.

Lanyards are an easy, fun way to promote you brand. They are easy to customize and come in wide range of design materials. The process of customization is flexible, simple and quick. To learn more about Custom Lanyards visit idstore.tapeandmedia.com.


Securely Control and Monitor Your Site Access with HID Prox Cards

Using HID Proximity card technology has kept our business safe and secure for the last few years. It offers exactly what we need as a business to securely control and access our facilities. It is simple to use, just wave the card in front of a magnetic reader! It is also small and easily stored in our employees wallets and/or purses. I want to take some time to talk to you about the different types of HID proximity devises and discuss their similarities and differences.

HID proximity cards can be an integral part of any secure facility. It allows for controlled access for employees and the ability to restrict access to employees and visitors to restricted areas. This is done using a central computer system that is designed to recognize what card the magnetic reader is reading. I then gains access to a database that tells it to allow/disallow entrance to the area. Every Proximity Cards have and a micro chip that is programmed to contain and track various types of information. Every device is uniquely encoded to control access to the area where it is needed and more importantly not needed. Some cards/devices can have custom magnetically programmed information that will allow the user to swipe their card if need be.

HID offers a wide range of secure access devices. They have key fob devices the 1346 ProxKey III that can be attached to a key ring. They make a tag with an adhesive backing, the 1391 MicroProx Tag, this allows users to place the tag on an existing ID Card. The 1386 ISOProx II card offers proximity technology with photo identification capability on a single card. The 1326 ProxCard II is a traditional proximity card. The DuoProx II card combines multiple technologies: proximity, magnetic stripe and photo identification technologies on a single access control card.

The cards can be programmed, customized and sent to you by an authorized reseller. If you have a need to produce your own proximity devices you can purchase an ID Card Printer that is designed to do card encoding, magnetic stripe encoding and print vivid images on the card to allow pictures or any pertinent information to be printed directly onto the card.
