Overview

Visitor badges that expire on their own

The Genuine TEMPbadge 05864 is a 4 x 2 1/4 inch direct thermal visitor badge with a printed STOP sign where the expiring spot goes, supplied 250 to a roll with its own roll of 250 expiring spots (part number 05864).

How it works

Print the visitor name on the badge, then press one of the included expiring spots over the printed STOP sign. The white spot covers the STOP while the badge is valid, and its chemical timer starts as soon as it is applied. Overnight, about 10 to 15 hours later, the spot develops and the STOP sign shows through, so an expired badge reads as a stop sign from across a room.

What you need

A direct thermal printer that takes this label size. Nothing else: each roll of 250 badges ships with a separate roll of 250 expiring spots.

This product is sold by the roll. Ordering a quantity of 1 means you will receive one roll of 250 badges with 250 expiring spots.

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

What else do I need?
A direct thermal printer that takes this label size. The expiring spots are included: each roll of 250 badges ships with its own roll of 250 spots.
How long until the badge expires?
These are 1-day badges. The timer starts when the spot is pressed over the STOP sign, and the STOP shows through overnight, about 10 to 15 hours later.
Can badges be reused?
No. Once a spot is applied its chemical timer starts and the color change cannot be reversed, so uncollected badges cannot be reused.
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 roll of 250 mean?
This product is sold by the roll. Ordering a quantity of 1 means you will receive one roll of 250 badges and one roll of 250 expiring spots.
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.
