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 TEMPbadge T5812A is a handwritten adhesive badge back preprinted VISITOR, 1 15/16 x 2 7/8 inches, with a printed spot expiration area (part number T5812A).

How it works

Write the visitor's name and details on the badge, apply a TEMPbadge TIMEspot expiring indicator to the marked spot area at check-in, and stick the badge on the visitor's clothing. The indicator's chemical timer changes color as it runs, so an expired badge is easy to spot and cannot be reused.

What you need

TEMPbadge TIMEspot expiring indicators for the spot area. The badge back is handwritten and self-adhesive, so no printer, clip, or lanyard is required.

Made to order. This item is produced fresh by the factory, typically about 8 weeks, because the chemical timer performs best when fresh. Contact us for the current lead time.

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 Half-day expiring badge color change by hour Seven-day expiring badge color change by day

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.

How does the badge expire?

What else do I need?
