Visitor badges that expire on their own
The TEMPbadge T7021 is a single-piece self-expiring token badge, 5/8 x 1 inch, preprinted VALID THIS DATE ONLY, with a 1-day chemical timer and an adhesive back (part number T7021).
How it works
Write the date in the marked area on the token, peel it from the liner to activate the timer, and stick it on the visitor's clothing or an existing badge. The timer runs overnight, about 10-15 hours, and a visible expiration pattern appears so the token cannot be reused the next day.
What you need
Complete badge - nothing else needed. The compact size also works as an expiration indicator on reusable badge backs.

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.
