Visitor badges that expire on their own
Two-part system: This expiring label is not a full solution. A compatible badge back with a token area is required for use.
The Genuine TEMPbadge T6218 is a 15/16 x 1 15/16 inch self-expiring TIMEtoken label preprinted VALID THRU with a write-in date line, with a 7-day timer, sold in a box of 1,000.
How it works
Write the thru date on the label with any standard pen, then peel it from its liner and apply it to the token area of a TIMEtoken badge back. Application starts the 7-day chemical timer, and in about 4-7 days the expiration pattern printed on the back shows through the label so anyone can see the badge is no longer valid.
What you need
This label is one half of a two-part system. A TIMEtoken badge back is required and is sold separately: T4102A regular adhesive printable, T3983A large clip-on printable, T5595A large clip-on handwritten VISITOR, or T6057A adhesive token back. A standard pen is all you need to fill in the date.

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.
