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 T6057A is a 15/16 x 1 15/16 inch adhesive TIMEtoken token back, sold in a box of 1,000. It is the base half of the smallest TIMEtoken badge, for sites that want an expiring indicator and nothing more.
How it works
Stick the token back on the visitor, or on a reusable visitor pass, then apply a TIMEtoken expiring label on top of it. Applying the label starts the timer. When the time is up, the red bar pattern printed on the token back shows through the label, so an expired badge is obvious at a glance. The label you choose sets the length: half-day (about 4-6 hours), 1-day (about 10-15 hours), or 7-day (about 4-7 days).
What you need
This token back is one half of a two-part system and is not a complete badge on its own. A TIMEtoken expiring label is required and is sold separately.

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.
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.
