Are you in charge of creating employee IDs for your company?
Whether you have been your company’s in-house ID expert for a decade or if you just had this responsibility added to your growing list this week, creating employee badges and reordering the right supplies – from blank cards to printer ribbons – can be a real challenge.
Here are some tips for how to buy ID card printer ribbons and supplies for your organization:
1: Choose the right supplier.
Before placing an order, choose a supplier that is an expert in the ID business and that keeps a wide range of supplies in stock and ready to ship. ID Shop has been in business for over 30 years and has knowledgeable staff on-hand that can answer any questions you might have about how to buy the ID card printer ribbons that are compatible with your printer and best suited to meet your business needs.
2: Timing is everything.
Before placing your order, consider how many IDs you will be printing and how many ribbons you currently have on-hand. If your printer ribbon supply hasn’t run out yet, you may not need to immediately reorder. Look ahead at what might require heavy usage – events such as seasonal hiring, special events or an influx of guests to your corporate campus. It may be best to delay your purchase until you can buy in a larger quantity to save money in the long term.
3: Think outside of the box.
Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean it’s still the best way today. For instance, perhaps your business has historically used black-and-white employee ID cards exclusively, but is this the best option for your needs?It’s likely that technology has changed since the system was first implemented. It might be time for an upgrade. Never be afraid to improve the quality of your ID cards.
