Overview

Visitor badges that expire on their own

Two-part system: This badge back is not a full solution. A compatible badge front is required for use.

The Genuine TEMPbadge T6059A is a 7/8 inch round adhesive TIMEspot spot back, sold in a box of 1,000. It is the base half of the smallest TIMEspot badge, for sites that want an expiring indicator and nothing more.

How it works

Stick the spot back on the visitor, or on a reusable visitor badge, then apply a TIMEspot expiring indicator on top of it. Applying the indicator starts the timer. When the time is up, the red line pattern printed on the spot back shows through the indicator, so an expired badge is obvious at a glance. The indicator you choose sets the length: half-day (about 4-6 hours), 1-day (overnight, about 10-15 hours), or 7-day (about 4-7 days).

What you need

This spot back is one half of a two-part system and is not a complete badge on its own. A TIMEspot expiring indicator is required and is sold separately.

Specifications

How it works

The color builds until the badge reads expired

Once the badge is activated, dye migrates at a steady rate and the expiring area shades from white to pink to red. These are the actual TEMPbadge lab shade charts; the dashed box marks the recommended expiration time.

Times are approximate. The timer is chemical: warmth and humidity speed it up, cool dry air slows it down.

Good to know

Expiration times are guidelines, not exact clocks. The timer is chemical and made for indoor use: warmer or more humid air runs it faster, cooler and drier air runs it slower. A 1-Day badge can expire in as little as 10 hours.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

How long until the badge expires?
It depends on the TIMEspot indicator you apply to the backer. Half-day indicators expire in about 4-6 hours, 1-day indicators expire overnight in about 10-15 hours, and 7-day indicators expire in about 4-7 days. The timer starts when the dot is applied.
Can the backers be reused?
No. The backer and the TIMEspot indicator are single use, and the chemical timer cannot be stopped or reset once the dot is applied.
What else do I need?
TIMEspot expiring indicators, sold separately. The backer sticks to the badge you already issue and the dot goes on top of the backer.
Do temperature or humidity affect the timer?
Yes. TIMEspot indicators use a chemical timer, so warm or humid conditions make it run somewhat faster and cool, dry conditions slow it down. Store unused supplies in a cool, dry place.
What does a box of 1,000 mean?
Ordering a quantity of 1 means you receive one box of 1,000 backers.
Are these badges in stock?
Most TEMPbadge items on our site ship shortly after the order is placed. However, many items are made to order by the factory and typically take about 8 weeks, because the chemical timer performs best when fresh. Made-to-order items are marked on the product page. Contact us for current lead times.
