How Visitors Badges Keep Your Workplace Secure

"Hello, my name is __________".

Visitor badges are a win-win. Visitors are easy to identify, keeping your team safe from potential threats and productive, and making visitors feel like welcomed guests. In a busy reception area, it’s great to make everyone feel like an MVV - Most Valuable Visitor.

Including a visitor's name, photo, host, and more on these badges is crucial for security and identification purposes. We even offer badges that visually expire over time, allowing for easy identification and management of visitor status. Greetly stores visitor photos in your digital logbook.

Visitor Badges - How Convenience Meets Security

Cheers was the place where "everyone knows your name". Your workplace can be too.

Thanks to badges that print immediately upon a guest checking in, all employees can instantly recognize each guest and greet them by name, ensuring easy identification. At the same time, these badges can give guests full or temporary access to the premises. If you don’t recognize someone you can ensure they are in the right place thanks to the visitor badge produced by Greetly. Visitor badges can print important visitor details including visitor photos, names, their host employee, and the date and time they checked into your workplace. For a more secure workplace, Greetly even offers temporary badges that visibly expire after 24 hours.

Visitor Photos

The best visitor management systems can do so much more than simply notify the host. They can capture eSignatures on NDAs, take temperatures, and operate touchless. Of course, they can take visitor photos which, in turn, can be printed on their very own visitor badge. Including a visitor's photo and details on the badge is crucial for security and identification purposes.

Now you know that Ashley Smith is really Ashley Smith.

Visitor and Host Names

And you can greet Ashley Smith by name because it prints nice and large on her visitor's badge.

If Ashley looks lost, or maybe like she is up to no good, you can also see the host employee that authorized her entrance. That way you can easily get her visit back on track or handle any security situations that could possibly arise.

Check In Timestamp and Expiring Badges

When Greetly prints a badge, it includes the date and exact time the visitor arrived. The timestamp and expiring badges contribute to easy identification, allowing security personnel to quickly recognize and differentiate visitor types who have spent a significant amount of time on campus. If Ashley Smith is acting suspicious, you might wish to verify she has current credentials to be on the premises.

Both standard and expiring badges can be used. If your workplace wants to ensure visitors depart when expected, to uphold security protocols, you have many options to stay safe and compliant.

Prints Via WIFI or Bluetooth

If you want them to, and for exactly the visitor where they are required, Greetly visitor badges print instantly when a guest checks in. We make setup easy. Depending on your preference and technical confidence, the incredibly customizable visitor management system allows you to print visitor badges over your workplace's WIFI or you can use Bluetooth.

What are visitor badges?

Visitor badges are used to help with the easy identification of guests to your office, manufacturing plant, school, coworking, or other space. Including a visitor's photo and details on the badge is crucial for security and identification purposes. They can take many forms from permanent identification cards, non-expiring visitor badges for regular visitors, to paper badges.

What are Best Practices for a Visitor Badge System?

Implementing a visitor badge system is an essential step in maintaining a secure and organized workplace. Here are some best practices to consider when using visitor badges:

  • Clearly display visitor information: Ensure that visitor badges prominently display the visitor’s name, the host’s name, and the date of the visit. This makes it easy for employees to identify visitors and aid if needed.
  • Use expiring badges: Expiring badges are a fantastic way to enhance security on site. These badges change appearance after a set period, preventing unauthorized extended access.
  • Customized badges: Customizable visitor badges can be tailored to meet your company’s specific needs. Add your company logo, QR codes, or any other relevant information to make the badges more functional and professional.
  • Use adhesive badges: Adhesive badges are convenient and easy to use. They can be quickly attached to a visitor’s clothing or badge holder, ensuring they are always visible.
  • Take visitor photos: Taking visitor photos and storing them in a digital logbook can greatly enhance security. It allows for easy reference and ensures that the person wearing the badge is the same person who checked in.
  • Implement a sign-in process: A robust sign-in process is crucial. Require visitors to sign in and receive a badge before entering the premises. This ensures that there are no unauthorized visitors and can be easily identified.

By following these best practices, you can ensure that your visitor badge system is both effective and efficient, providing a secure and welcoming environment for all visitors.
