FAQS on FIPS201

Security Imaging Recommends certain badge holders for government agencies. Below is a list of badge holders that are most commonly ordered by the government.

Vertical Card Dispenser - FIPS201 Compliant The rigid design protects the electronics inside proximity and smart cards against damage from bending. These badge holders offer easy card removal for use with scanners, these poly carbonate dispensers fit credit card size inserts up to .040 inch thick.

Two card ID dispenser - Vertical Format Top Load - FIPS201 Compliant This card case has a large cut-out in the back, so it's easy to slide your access control card out of the holder. The poly carbonate material is anti-reflective. And it keeps your ID card from fading by screening out the sun's UV rays.

Thumbnotch Vertical Card Dispenser Protects the electronics inside proximity and smart cards against damage from bending.

Multiple card retainer Holds a stack of six credit cards or badges up to 3/16" total thickness. Works with thick proximity cards too. Attaches to a strap clip or neck lanyard for vertical or horizontal use.

Security Imaging Also offers badge reels which are great for attaching your badge holder and allow for easy access to card readers. With badge reels you no longer have to remove your badge from your wallet or disconnect your holder- you simply extend the reel to the reader and the badge reel retracts back in place. You can also have the reels customized for security purposes, making your employees stand out by sporting your agencies name or logo.

Below are some links to the most popular badge reels ordered by the governement.

Economy Badge Reels. Economy Badge retractors are manufactured overseas and are the most popular badge reel on the market. These badge reels have been tested at 40,000 pulls and are long lasting. They have a 36inch long cord and are perfect for those who have to extend their ID card to an access card reader.

Card Clamp Badge Reels These reels are great for those who can not slot their ID cards. Sometimes slotting your ID card can damage the electronics on the inside of the card making it so that the card reader can not read the card. The card clamp is a great solution! No need to slot your card, simply use the card clamp. On the back of the card clamp there is a release arm that, when flipped up, opens the two pads that grip the ID Card. Pressing the lever down closes the gripper pads on to the card, holding it securely with 10 lbs of force.

Security Imaging also sells ID card Printers, cards and ribbon that can help your Governement Agency produce FIPS201 Compliant cards. Call us today and see what solutions we have to help make your Government Agency more secure.
