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 T6422 is a 7/8 inch round self-expiring TIMEspot indicator with a red V for visitors and a half-day timer, sold in a box of 1,000.

How it works

Apply the TIMEspot dot to the round spot area of a TIMEspot badge back. Application starts the half-day chemical timer, and in about 4-6 hours the red line pattern on the back shows through the dot to signal that the badge has expired.

What you need

This indicator is one half of a two-part system. A TIMEspot badge back is required and is sold separately: T4103A adhesive thermal printable, T5812A adhesive handwritten VISITOR, 05587 clip-on handwritten VISITOR, or T6059A adhesive spot back.

Specifications

  • Size: 7/8 inch round
  • Pack: Box of 1,000
  • Personalization: None, preprinted red V
  • Attachment: Adhesive, applies to the spot area of a TIMEspot badge back
  • Expiration: Half-day timer, expires in about 4-6 hours

This product comes in packs of 1,000 badges. Ordering a quantity of 1 means you will receive one box of 1,000 badges.

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. A 1-Day badge can expire in as little as 10 hours.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

How long until the indicator expires?
The half-day timer starts when the dot is applied to the badge. The pattern develops in about 4-6 hours.
Can the indicators be reused?
No. The chemical timer is single use. Once a dot is applied it cannot be stopped or reset.
What else do I need?
A TEMPbadge spot-area badge back or a spot backer applied to an existing ID. The dot is the expiring element of the two-part system.
Do temperature or humidity affect the timer?
Yes. The indicator uses a chemical timer, so warm or humid conditions make it run somewhat faster and cool, dry conditions slow it down. Store unused indicators 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 indicators.
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. Contact us for current lead times.
