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 T6032AL is a large 2 3/16 x 3 29/32 inch adhesive self-expiring badge back, sold in a box of 1,000.
How it works
This back carries the universal chemical timer for a two-part expiring badge. Pair it with a TEMPbadge front to issue a badge; the front sets the expiration speed. Half-day fronts expire in about 4-6 hours, 1-day fronts expire overnight, about 10-15 hours, and 7-day fronts expire in about 4-7 days. As the timer runs, red stripes migrate into view so an expired badge is obvious at a glance.
What you need
This is the back half of a two-part badge. You also need a large TEMPbadge front (half-day, 1-day, or 7-day). The adhesive back sticks directly to clothing, so no clip or holder is needed.

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.
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.
