Smart devices, mobile phones and tablets are becoming the control hub for the myriad of connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) – as are bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies in many organizations today. But this is creating unique and heightened security risks for IT professionals, such as higher exposure to data breaches, malware and compliance violations. BYOD is no longer an industry trend; it’s a fact of life for enterprise-wide operations and the IT organizations that must support them.

An ID card embodies a critical intersection of design and security. It is both a visual asset and an employee’s functional gateway to an organization. While no two organizations are exactly alike, many share similar goals and face similar challenges in relation to ID card design and production.

This definitive guide will help you navigate the ID card production process — from defining the parameters of your project to determining the right design and security elements that will best meet your organization’s needs.

Read this informative guide to:
  • Understand the anatomy of an ID card
  • Determine how various embedded electronics may affect your card design
  • Learn what should be considered when selecting layout, orientation, security features and other design elements such as graphics, fonts and colors
  • Explore a gallery of sample card images for inspiration
