Overview

Visitor badges that expire on their own

The Genuine TEMPbadge T2014 is a one-piece ONEstep self-expiring badge with a red VISITOR header and a slotted clip-on top, 3" x 3", sold in a box of 500 (part number T2014).

How it works

Write the visitor's information on the face of the badge, peel the inner liner, and press the badge together to start the one-day timer. Red lines appear gradually as the badge expires overnight, about 10 to 15 hours after activation, so yesterday's badge cannot be worn again.

What you need

A standard badge clip or strap clip for the slotted top. The badge itself is complete and works with any badge clip.

Specifications

  • Size: 3" x 3"
  • Pack: 500 badges per box
  • Personalization: Handwritten
  • Attachment: Clip-on (slotted top)
  • Expiration: 1 day (overnight, about 10 to 15 hours)

This product comes in packs of 500 badges. Ordering a quantity of 1 means you will receive one box of 500 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 the badge expires?
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?
A standard badge clip or strap clip for the slotted top. The badge itself is a complete one-piece self-expiring badge.
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 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.
