Reliable Student ID Programs Start Here
Whether you’re issuing student IDs, faculty credentials, visitor badges, transportation cards, library cards, meal plan cards, or access control credentials, IDP card printers help streamline card issuance while enhancing campus safety and operational efficiency.
Our solutions support schools of all sizes—from small K-12 districts requiring occasional badge printing to large universities managing thousands of credentials across multiple campuses.

IDP card printers support a wide range of technologies and credential features, including:
• Contact & contactless smart card encoding options
• RFID and access control integrations via SDK development
• Over-the-edge credential printing
• UV security printing with SMARTMark™

• Network printing and remote management capabilities
• Magnetic stripe encoding option
• Barcode and QR code printing (600/1200 dpi black panel option on Smart-31/51 models)
For agencies requiring premium image quality and enhanced card durability, retransfer printing technology can provide superior over-the-edge coverage and improved performance on smart cards and embedded technologies. Our SMART-81 Series Retransfer card printers are commonly used in high-security credential environments where durability and tamper resistance are important.
