Overview

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 T6418 is a 15/16 x 1 15/16 inch (about 1 x 2 inch) self-expiring TIMEtoken label preprinted VALID THIS DATE ONLY with a write-in date line, with a half-day timer, sold in a box of 1,000.

How it works

Write the date on the line, then peel the TIMEtoken label from its liner and apply it to the token area of a TIMEtoken badge back. Application starts the half-day chemical timer, and in about 4-6 hours the expiration pattern printed on the back shows through the label so anyone can see the badge is no longer valid.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.

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.

Half-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.

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 label expires?
The half-day timer starts when the label is applied to the badge. The expired pattern develops in about 4-6 hours.
Can the labels be reused?
No. The chemical timer is single use. Once a label is applied it cannot be stopped or reset.
What else do I need?
A TEMPbadge token-area badge back or a token backer applied to an existing ID.
Do I need a printer?
No. The date line is blank for handwriting. Fill it in with any standard pen; no printer, hardware, or software is needed.
Do temperature or humidity affect the timer?
Yes. The label uses a chemical timer, so warm or humid conditions make it run somewhat faster and cool, dry conditions slow it down. Store unused labels in a cool, dry place.
What does a box of 1,000 mean?
Ordering a quantity of 1 means you receive one box of 1,000 labels.
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.
