The Direct Thermal TAB-Expiring Visitor Pass from Data Management Inc.’s line of “Visitor Pass Solutions” security products takes the guesswork out of activation with a tab extending from one end of the self-adhesive label. Instead of multiple parts, all of the expiration components are self-contained into one piece, making activation virtually foolproof. After the visitor’s information is printed (or written) onto the badge, it is peeled from its liner, and the tab is folded behind the badge to activate the color-changing chemistry. Overnight, a “VOID” image appears on the badge, dissuading departed visitors from trying to reuse their badge.
