Overview

Visitor badges that expire on their own

Two-part system: This badge front is not a full solution. A compatible badge back is required for use.

The Genuine TEMPbadge T6104 is a 1 15/16 x 2 7/8 inch handwritten self-expiring badge front preprinted TEMPORARY, with a 1-day timer, sold in a box of 1,000.

How it works

Fill in the front with any standard pen, then attach it to a TEMPbadge badge back. Attaching the front starts the 1-day chemical timer, and red expiration bars develop overnight, about 10-15 hours after activation, so anyone can see the badge is no longer valid.

What you need

A TEMPbadge badge back. Backs are universal, so they work with any front time frame; clip-on and adhesive versions are available.

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

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 is the lead time for this item?
This item is made to order. The factory produces it fresh, typically about 8 weeks, because the chemical timer performs best when fresh. Contact us for the current lead time.
How long until the badge expires?
The 1-day timer starts when the front is attached to a badge back. Red expiration bars develop overnight, about 10-15 hours after activation.
Can badges be reused?
No. Once expiration starts it cannot be reversed, so uncollected badges cannot be reused by unauthorized visitors. Use a new front and back for each visit.
What else do I need?
A TEMPbadge badge back. Backs are universal and work with any front time frame; clip-on and adhesive versions are available.
Do I need a printer?
No. These handwritten fronts are filled in with any standard pen. No printer, hardware, or software is needed.
Do temperature or humidity affect the timer?
Yes. The badge uses a chemical timer, so warm or humid conditions make it run somewhat faster and cool, dry conditions slow it down. Store unused badges in a cool, dry place.
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.
