More Than a Name Tag

Look professional, and keep your records clean

A well-made photo ID does more than put a face to a name. The same badge identifies your employees and can punch them in and out at your time clocks — so your team looks sharp, your front desk knows who's who, and your timekeeping stays accurate.

Custom ID Badge Design

Badges that look like your brand designed them.

We build your badge from a clean, professional template — your logo, your colors, and exactly the fields you need. Whether it's a single design or a full library of templates for different roles and sites, every credential comes out polished and consistent.

  • Branded templates with your logo, colors & layout
  • Employee photo plus name, title & department fields
  • Barcodes and QR codes for fast scanning
  • Magnetic stripe or barcode encoding for your time clocks
  • A single design or a full multi-role template library

Photo ID Card Printing

Durable, full-color cards — printed your way

From a handful of new hires to a full-staff reissue, we print crisp, professional PVC cards and handle the reprints, batches, and details so you don't have to staff a print shop.

Full-Color PVC Cards

Sharp, edge-to-edge color on rigid PVC stock — single- or dual-sided so you can put a photo and ID on the front and policy or contact info on the back.

Built to Last

Optional lamination and protective finishes stand up to daily clock-ins, lanyards, and pockets — so cards stay legible and scannable through years of use.

Fast Turnaround

Rush new hires through quickly and keep batch runs moving — on-site for urgent needs or fully managed so badges simply show up ready to issue.

On-Site or Fully Managed

Run your own printer with our setup and supplies, or hand the whole program to CTR/NY. Either way you get one point of contact for cards, ribbons, and support.

Reprints & Batch Runs

Lost a card? Onboarding a department? Rebranding? Order one replacement or a few hundred at once — consistent design, every time.
