HID introducing New Laser Marking Technology for Credential Cards.

As a part of our commitment to continuous enhancements of world-class products and solutions, HID Global is transitioning to the most innovative card marking technology available.

Effective immediately, HID Global is moving from inkjet card marking to the new laser engraving card marking technology for all Genuine HID® cards, fobs and authentication tokens. This state-of-the-art laser engraving technology will result in a more appealing look and feel and reduce the ecological footprint of card production.

Key benefits:

• Marking quality and durability of the cards will be enhanced and more consistent.
• New engraving technology reflects HID Global’s commitment to sustainability by eliminating the use of solvents.
• Improved Proof of Authenticity since engraved markings cannot be removed or modified.
• The enhanced design will be available at no additional charge. The laser-engraving surcharge for Genuine HID Proximity and Contactless Credentials will be removed in November.
