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 T6031A is a 1 15/16 x 2 7/8 inch self-expiring adhesive badge back that reveals the word EXPIRED, sold in a box of 1,000.

How it works

This universal back supplies the timing chemistry for TEMPbadge two-part expiring badges. Write or print visitor information on a compatible TEMPbadge front, press it onto the back, and the timer starts. Instead of plain stripes, the word EXPIRED appears through the front as the badge expires: half-day fronts expire in about 4-6 hours, 1-day fronts expire overnight in about 10-15 hours, and 7-day fronts expire in about 4-7 days.

What you need

This is the back half of a two-part badge. You also need a TEMPbadge expiring front in the time frame you want (half-day, 1-day, or 7-day) to complete each badge.

Specifications

  • Size: 1 15/16 x 2 7/8 inches (about 2 x 3 inches)
  • Pack: Box of 1,000, fan-folded
  • Personalization: None (visitor information goes on the front)
  • Attachment: Adhesive back sticks to clothing, no clip needed. Do not apply to leather, silk, suede, or other delicate fabrics.
  • Expiration: Universal timer, reveals the word EXPIRED; works with half-day, 1-day, and 7-day fronts

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.

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 a badge expires?
It depends on the front you pair with this back. Half-day fronts expire in about 4-6 hours, 1-day fronts expire overnight in about 10-15 hours, and 7-day fronts expire in about 4-7 days. The timer starts when the front and back are pressed together.
Can the badges be reused?
No. The chemical timer is single use. Once a badge is activated it cannot be stopped or reset.
What else do I need?
This is the back half of a two-part badge. You also need a TEMPbadge expiring front in the time frame you want (half-day, 1-day, or 7-day).
Do temperature or humidity affect the timer?
Yes. The badge uses a chemical timer, so warm or humid conditions make it run somewhat faster and cool, dry conditions slow it down. Store unused badges 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 badge backs.
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.
