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.
This is a 3" x 3" clip-on expiring badge back, part number T5903A, preprinted with a solid red bar and no title. It is the bottom half of a two-piece TEMPbadge visitor badge. When the badge expires, red stripes appear across the face, giving visual proof at a glance that the pass is no longer valid and cannot be reused.
How it works
Hidden red stripes sit under a black mask on this back part. The back does nothing on its own. Pressing a TEMPbadge front onto it starts the timer, and the front sets the expiration speed. That makes backs universal: the same box works with half-day, 1-day, and 7-day fronts. Clip-on backs need a badge clip or reel to wear. Any standard strap clip, swivel clip, or lanyard fits the slot.
What you need
A TEMPbadge front part, sold separately. Use T6151 thermal-printable fronts to print names from a badge printer, or T6103 handwritten fronts to fill them in by hand.

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.
