Examples of QR code ID cards

What are QR Code ID Badges / Cards?

ID badges with QR codes can hold far more information than printing will allow.

QR code ID badges are plastic identity cards that feature a printed QR code as well as other optional elements; name, job title, employee ID number, valid from and expiry dates.

​The intention of the QR code is to enable access to supplementary information or indeed to hide information.

We're in Stoke. What can QR Code Badges be used for?

Staff ID cards and badges with QR codes can hide any details that you wish to keep private.

QR ID badges can be used to direct users to 'electronic' destinations - whether they're in Stoke or out anywhere else - simply by pointing their smart phone camera and reading the QR.

QR codes can be used to quickly and conveniently access content such as URLs, web pages (eg information, offers or store pages), videos; instructional, songs or music, social media content on almost any channel. Literally anything that you can find online, you can direct a QR code to. 

​You can also use QR codes to open up a blank email ready for sending, store a new contact or to instantly add a calendar reminder.

What content can QR Code Badges be linked to?

Traditional staff ID badges hold information such as photo ID, name and job title. Sometimes employers want valid from and expiry dates added and others like to show employee numbers, DBS (formally CRB check) numbers. Some organisations like to show awards, certification, evidence of affiliation or accreditation. 

QR codes printed on staff badges can link to any information which is likely to remain constant or any information that is likely to change over time. See Types of QR Code below.

The reasons our customers choose to add a QR code printed on staff ID badges varies with the client, though typically it's down to convenience, privacy or to extend the life of their employee ID badges.

Static QR codes can be linked to content and the link must be determined before printing, whereas our dynamic QR codes allow our customers to alter and update the link to the content anytime; a QR code linking to your website could be changed to link to a special offer page or a social media post for any given time - that's why the QR is referred to as dynamic.

Types of QR is right for Staff ID Badges/Cards?

ID Cards with Static QR Code
A static QR  code printed on your ID badges will always link to the same destination; it cannot be changed once your ID cards have been printed. Whilst the content of the destination may be changed (eg the words of a web page) the link to the [web page] itself is embedded in the QR code and that is permanent.

​A static QR code printed on an ID card is a good idea for linking to a company website, a fund raising page or other destination that is unlikely to change.

ID Cards with Dynamic QR Code
The alternative is printing a QR code on your ID cards which may be changed and updated over time. Whilst the appearance of the QR code itself looks the same, the destination that it links to can be changed over and over again and there's no limit to the number of times this change can occur.

A dynamic QR code printed on an ID card is a good idea for linking to social media posts, personal information that you wish to have an element of control of access to, news and blogs, special offers that will expire, store pages and any other instance where you'll need to change the destination of the QR link.

Which businesses in Stoke use QR code employee ID cards?

We're unable to share specific details of businesses in Stoke that use our ID cards with QR code printing service due to data protection and GDPR rules. But what we can share is that it's becoming much more popular to include a QR code on ID cards for staff, employees and membership cards due to the proliferation of smartphones with onboard QR readers. There's no need to download a special app anymore; almost all smartphones have a QR reader app straight out of the box.

Reasons of adding a QR code to staff ID badges (benefits)

QR Code ID Card Design
Adding a QR code when designing staff ID cards can be an easy way to keep the design tidy. Maximising whitespace and decluttering ID card design is important for many businesses and brands. Eg. Including a QR rather than a lengthy unsightly link is a good idea. 

​QR Codes are Recognisable
QR codes are now a very common, socially acceptable and recognised way to include additional information on your ID cards for staff and employees. Cardholders may invite 3rd parties to read their QR with any smartphone or mobile device.

QR Coded ID Cards are Convenient
Let's say you work for a charity and your staff ID card can either have a URL or a QR code printed on it. The opportunity arises where a wouldbe donator would like to oblige. Would you rather read out all the characters of a lengthy URL to them or simply invite them to scan the QR on your staff ID badge that takes them straight to your fundraising page? With the QR there's never a mispelt URL leading to a 404 error page.

Privacy
Sometimes you just want to restrict access to certain information. DBS numbers are a great example of a datatype that is a good idea not to have 'on show'. With a static QR code the DBS can remain accessible semi-privately, though on a need-to-know basis. Better still, using a dynamic QR code for the DBS would allow you to update it whenever the DBS number is renewed. Another bonus is, access to the DBS number could easily be restricted should the ID card beome lost.
