Overview

Visitor badges that expire on their own

The Genuine TEMPbadge T2023 is a one-piece QuickTab self-expiring VISITOR badge, 2 5/16" x 2 13/16", sold in a box of 500 (part number T2023).

How it works

Write the visitor's information on the face of the badge, then fold the bottom tab under the badge to start the one-day timer. The badge displays VOID at expiration, overnight, about 10 to 15 hours after activation, so yesterday's badge cannot be worn again.

What you need

Complete badge - nothing else needed. The adhesive back sticks to most clothing; do not apply it to delicate fabrics such as leather, silk, suede, or vinyl.

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

How long until the badge expires?
These are one-day badges. The badge displays VOID overnight, about 10 to 15 hours after activation.
How do I activate the badge?
Write the visitor's information, then fold the bottom tab under the badge. Folding the tab starts the chemical timer.
Can badges be reused?
No. Once the tab is folded the timer starts and the VOID indicator cannot be reversed, so uncollected badges cannot be reused.
What else do I need?
Nothing. This is a complete one-piece badge with an adhesive back.
Do temperature or humidity affect the timer?
Yes. Expiration is driven by a chemical timer, so warm or humid conditions develop the color somewhat faster and cool, dry conditions slow it down. The times listed are approximate.
What does box of 500 mean?
This product comes in packs of 500 badges. Ordering a quantity of 1 means you will receive one box of 500 badges.
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.
