TRUST THE EXPERTS 
IN SECURE IDENTIFICATION

PROTECT THE PEOPLE AND
PLACES THAT MATTER MOST

Think about all the people who interact with your organization every day.

Employees, customers, students, visitors — all of them are vital to your

success. Equally critical is a secure environment. One that protects your

stakeholders, facilities and data from a wide range of threats.

Secure ID solutions from Datacard Group can help you increase security in

any organization around the world. No other manufacturer offers a wider

range of fully integrated solutions.

This flexibility is critical. Because for small businesses, a secure ID solution

may involve name-and-photo IDs, while schools and universities may

require magnetic stripes that integrate with access control. Corporations 

and government agencies often need highly secure IDs with holographic

laminates, and retailers may want to add a photo or digital signature to gift

and loyalty cards.

Datacard Group offers secure ID solutions to meet your needs 

and fit your budget.

FLEXIBLE CHOICES FOR IMPROVING SECURITY

Datacard Group offers one of the broadest portfolios of secure ID solutions

available today. Whether you are printing your first ID cards, creating IDs

for new facilities or employees, or enhancing your current cards with the

latest technologies, we can provide exactly what you need.

The key is versatility. We design and test the components of our solutions

to work together in many different combinations. That means you can 

mix-and-match software, capture systems, card printers and other elements

in a unique configuration that aligns perfectly with your top priorities.

FROM A WORLD LEADER IN SECURE ID SOLUTIONS

Unlike other manufacturers, Datacard Group specializes in end-to-end

solutions for secure IDs. Customers around the world insist on the Datacard

Here are the steps your organization can

take to create the right secure IDs.

Datacard Group sales channels offer 

all of the products described here — 

and much more.

1. Power Up Your Identification Software

Identification software is where it all

begins. This application enables you 

to customize card designs, manage

cardholder images and related data, 

and print custom reports.

2. Capture Images and Biometrics

Use a digital camera to photograph the

cardholder. Capture the cardholder’s

fingerprint image and/or other biometrics, 

and record a digital signature.

3. Print Cards

After data capture, a desktop card printer

prints the card in a single color, full-color or

rewritable pixels. It may also encode the

magnetic stripe or smart card chip.

4. Reload Supplies

High-quality color ribbons, topcoats 

and laminates help ensure exceptional

image quality, consistency and security.

Periodically, you will need to replace

supplies as they are consumed. 

5. Receive Professional Service

Whether you work with Datacard

required to optimize performance.
