Overview

Visitor badges that expire on their own

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

This is a handwritten expiring badge front, part number T6145, 1-15/16" x 2-7/8", with a blank white face and a 1-day expiration. It is the write-on top half of a two-piece TEMPbadge visitor badge. The finished badge shows visual proof when time is up, so an expired visitor pass cannot be reused.

How it works

The front is the face of the badge. Fill in the title, name, date, and other details with any pen. No printer, hardware, or software is needed. The front also sets the expiration speed: this 1-day front expires about 15 hours after it is applied. Press it onto any TEMPbadge back to start the timer. Red stripes from the back then appear through the front when the badge expires.

What you need

A TEMPbadge badge back, sold separately. This front fits the 3" x 3" clip-on back family (T5913A and its color and title options). Backs are universal, so any time frame front works with any back.

Specifications

  • Size: 1-15/16" x 2-7/8" (standard)
  • Pack: 1,000 badges per box, fan-folded
  • Personalization: handwritten; blank face with room for a title, name, and date
  • Expiration: 1-day; the badge expires about 15 hours after activation

This product comes in packs of 1,000 badges. Ordering a quantity of 1 means you will receive one box of 1,000 badges.

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.

One-day expiring badge color change by hour

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 it expires?
The front part sets the time frame, and expiration begins when the front is attached to a badge back. Half-day fronts expire in about 4 hours, 1-day fronts in about 15 hours, 3-day fronts in about 3 days, and 7-day fronts in about 7 days.
What starts the expiration?
Attaching the front part to the back part starts the expiration process.
What else do I need?
An expiring badge back. Clip-on backs are available with printed color bars, with or without titles, and backs are universal so they work with any front time frame.
Do I need a printer?
No. These handwritten fronts are filled in with any standard pen. No printer, hardware, or software is needed.
What does box of 1,000 mean and how is it packaged?
Quantity 1 equals one box of 1,000 badge fronts, packaged fan-folded.
Can badges be reused?
No. Once expiration starts it cannot be reversed, so expired badges cannot be reused.
What happens visually when it expires?
Vivid red expiration bars appear on the badge, making it easy to see that time is up.
Do temperature and humidity affect the expiration time?
Yes. The expiration technology is chemical and designed for indoor use. Warmer or more humid environments make the badge expire faster; cooler, drier environments slow it down. The stated times are guidelines: a 1-Day badge can expire in as little as 10 hours, and a 7-Day badge can complete as early as day five.
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.
