Expiring Visitor Badges
Who has permission to cross your threshold? With our state-of-the-art Expiring Technology we will keep your facility and staff safe.
Badges with Expiring Technology change color overnight to prevent reuse.
How it works:

Available in books for handwritten use:
- The badge changes color by the next day and is Void.
Available on Rolls for software printers:
Compatible with popular school visitor management systems, like Raptor.
Expiring badges change color overnight so they can’t be reused.
Here are the reasons to use expiring badges:
- Visual Alert: Badges show a red VOID making it easy to spot expired ones.
- Peace of Mind: A WHITE badge means a visitor registered today and their ID is current.
- Discourage Reuse: Expired badges show “VOID”, preventing reuse.
- Prevent Unauthorized Access: Visitor wearing an Expired badge should not be allowed in.
- Extra Security: Expiring badges require daily sign-ins for tighter control.
- Convenience: No need to collect badges—expired ones can’t be reused.

“I enjoy using the products we order from THRESHOLD. It makes it less stressful for our receptionist to have to be burdened with writing each visitor/volunteers name down herself. With the Visitor Passes we have a private carbon copy for ourselves in case a verification is needed of who and when a person was in our building. The Tardy/Early dismissal passes are great for teacher which shows what time a student checked in late for school and the student or parent receives a copy of a check out for their record. The school has a back-up copy for student database.”

Receptionist, Mae Jemison High School, Huntsville, AL -
“The badge is very visible. Our school likes the fact that we have a formal badge and permanent log system in place. If any issue arises, we have written proof of what visitors were on our grounds. Parents feel comfortable and safe that this system is in place.”
Jean Smith,
Secretary, Jefferson Elementary School, Collinsville, IL -
“We are pleased with the use of our Visitor's passes. In the past we really had no use for them. But with time and all the shootings that have been happening, we have to protect our students as well as our Faculty and Staff members. Thank you for making my life a little safer and better. God bless. ”

“In most cases the phrase "great quality at a reasonable price" is overused, but not when it relates to Data Management, Inc. Their customer service is outstanding, the quality of work is first rate and the price is right. Jodie Dario and Data Management are great to work with.”
Terry Detorie,
Bryn Mawr School, Baltimore, MD -
“We use this book on a daily basis and we ask that the student present the "ticket" to the teacher. The teacher is asked to send the tardy slip home so the parent is aware that the student has had some tardy issues. These books assist us in communicating our concerns and awareness of absentees. I would recommend this book for any school to help stay on top of tardy concerns, which in time can result in absentees. Glad to have it in my office!”
Mrs. June M. Lentz,
Canal School, Westbrook, ME -
“This new sign-in system has helped us to maintain an organized log while accomplishing our goal of streamlining all visitors, parents included, through the main office.”

“We love the Visitor Pass System. The one-write feature definitely saves time and makes my job easier. The labels are just the right size, and your service and ability to customize to fit our needs are second to none.”

“Parents and visitors are much happier with the sign-in procedure, it's less complicated. We are very happy with Visitor Pass.”
Karen Barry,
F.E. Smith Elementary , Cortland, NY -
“These are great. We don't have to leave our desk as much. The parents like the idea of getting their own badges. The sign-in with the picture of McGruff makes them feel safe. We now have an official log book for record keeping.”
Trekatta Brown,
Kegotank Elementary School , Mappsville, VA
FAQs
How do expiring badges work?
A color change reaction is activated when the red ink makes contact with the adhesive. Once activated, the color change cannot be stopped. This color-changing process is both time- and temperature-sensitive. We have engineered the badges to remain valid for 4-6 hours at room temperature. Overnight, the badges have fully changed color.
Can I customize the badges with my school logo?
Yes! Along with our stock badges, we offer custom-designed badges featuring your school logo, school mascot, and/or the school name in black ink. A proof will be provided for your approval before printing. Color imprints are also available for an additional fee.

“This book of visitor badges is great! Easy to order with our custom logo and easy to use. I love having a duplicate copy in case we need to check on when a visitor signed in or out. Customer service is also wonderful. It was easy to get a hold of someone and get questions answered. I would definitely order again!”

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.
