If you use a direct thermal printer to print visitor badges you can add more security with one simple change…upgrade to expiring badges. It’s that easy! Expiring badges gradually change color overnight to prevent unauthorized access by ensuring that visitors and contractors can only enter when they have a valid badge. This is especially important in sensitive facilities, such as hospitals, government buildings, financial centers and schools.
Expiring badges are also efficient and convenient. Expiring badges can streamline the visitor management process by eliminating the need for visitors to sign out manually. They don’t have to be collected because they cannot be reused. The bright pink VOID is easy to see and alerts staff to anyone who is using an expired badge, saving time and resources.
THRESHOLD Expiring Badges are available in four styles and compatible with most direct thermal printers as well as many popular visitor management software systems. Learn more.
The TAB-Expiring visitor badge has a patented one-piece design that makes activation virtually foolproof. Simply fold the tab behind the badge to activate.
The Tandem-Expiring visitor badge has built-in activation for security and convenience. Activate the expiring technology by placing a white dot over the red VOID circle.
The FULL-Expiring visitor badge offers the maximum visual alert. To activate apply the printed badge on top of the red back piece and it’s ready to wear, until it becomes VOID the next day.
The DOT-Expiring visitor badge is VOID from the printer so it can’t be used until its activated, providing extra security. The DOT is built right into the badge liner, making it easy to use.

It’s easy and free to activate this feature. Simply call us and ask for “Red Flag, No Badge” to be turned on. Once it’s on, the above pop-up will come up when a red flagged visitor comes back. No badge will print and the attendant will need to follow the facility’s policy for handling red flagged visitors.
