Credential Guidance
Order the right format the first time
Do not get locked into a proprietary format that restricts future purchases. ID CardSolutions can help buyers ask the right questions before ordering credentials.
Questions to Ask:
- What access control system or reader format do you use?
- Do you need prox, smart, mag stripe, or multi-technology cards?
- Do cards need to be printed with photos?
- Are you replacing existing cards or starting fresh?
