One Step Manually-Issued Self-Expiring Badges, Box of 500 (P/N T200X)
Easily identify guests from a distance and increase safety precautions with our one step manually-issued self-expiring badges. The self-expiring feature keeps the badges from being re-used, and eliminates the need to collect used badges when the "visitors" leave. Simply write the visitor information onto the face of the badge, remove the inner liner and press the badge together. This will begin the one day expiration process. After a full days worth of wear, approximately 15 hours, red lines will gradually appear diagonally through the badge to indicate expiration. The adhesive back makes it easy for your visitors to wear their badge on their clothing.
The badges come pre-printed with either Visitor or Contractor in boxes of 500. Just choose the desired text from the drop-down menu.
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.
These are one-day badges. Red lines appear gradually and the badge shows as expired overnight, about 10 to 15 hours after activation.
Can badges be reused?
No. Once the badge is pressed together the timer starts and the color change cannot be reversed, so uncollected badges cannot be reused.
What else do I need?
Nothing. This is a complete one-piece badge with an adhesive back. Write the information, peel the liner, press together, and issue.
Do temperature or humidity affect the timer?
Yes. Expiration is driven by a chemical timer, so warm or humid conditions develop the color somewhat faster and cool, dry conditions slow it down. The times listed are approximate.
What does box of 500 mean?
This product comes in packs of 500 badges. Ordering a quantity of 1 means you will receive one box of 500 fan-folded badges.
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.
