Plastic ID cards aren’t just for labelling people

Friday, February 10th, 2012

The most common use of the plastic card printers that we supply is for producing cards for people, cards that are used for things like ID cards, membership cards or loyalty cards.

That’s not all that plastic card printers can be used for though, over the years we’ve worked with people that have used the equipment that we supply for all kinds of different applications, like:

Labelling equipment on off-shore drilling rigs

Producing certificates of authenticity and guarantees to go with jewellery and watches

Labelling plumbing and heating pipes in houses

Printing neo-natal scans for expecting couples

Making special luggage tags for flight crew

These are just a few of the innovative applications that our customers have found for our plastic card printers. If you’d like to find out more about card printers or any of the other equipment that we supply, call ID Management Systems on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.

Plastic ID cards for councils and local government

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Here at ID Management Systems we deal with a huge number of the local councils from all over the UK. These are organisations that use plastic card printers for lots of purposes, from the simplest ID cards for the council staff, to specific types of legally required ID for health inspectors and social workers, to the licensing departments that produce things like private hire taxi licenses and personal licenses for publicans.

We’ve worked with many of these councils for the better part of 20 years now and we like to think that we will always make the effort to give them the best service that we can, as well as giving them great prices, after all, when it’s a council that is buying it’s all of our money as taxpayers that they are spending.

If you work for a local council in the UK that doesn’t work with ID Management Systems yet, why not give us a call 0800 408 1471 and see what we can do to help you save money?

Urgent requirements for plastic card supplies

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

In an ideal world, we all get plenty of time to plan ahead and can make sure that we never run out of anything we need. Of course, more often than not the world isn’t ideal. Problems happen, things run out and awkward situations occur.

We understand that sometimes people can’t have planned ahead to get everything that they need so if you tell us that something is truly urgent we will always make an extra effort to help our customers and get them what we need.

We carry a large amount of stock of many different items that we supply, plastic cards, card printers, printer ribbons, smart cards and card accessories, and we will always do our best to make sure that we get things dealt with as fast as possible, often despatching your order on the day that it is placed with us.

If you’ve got an urgent requirement for plastic card equipment, call ID Management Systems on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll do our best to help.

Developing solutions for your identification needs

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

A lot of the time people find themselves buying off people who are just shifting boxes around and don’t really get involved in what they selling. That’s not how we are at ID Management Systems.

We like to think that what we are doing is working with our customers to make sure that they get the right equipment to do what they need and that they can keep it running. After all, there’s no point in spending lots of money on equipment if you can’t then get it to do what you need.

A large part of what we do is also about designing solutions for people. If you’re looking to start producing ID cards you don’t just need a plastic card printer, depending on your requirements you might need an assortment of different equipment.

We also work with a range of different smart and access technology, as well as software for card design, production and administration, and our visitor system that allows you to produce ID credentials for visitors and track them in and out of you site as required.

This means that we are in a great position to help you to put the pieces together to get exactly the solution that you need. If you’d like to find out more or talk with us about getting the right solution for your requirement, call us on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.

What if you don’t have a support agreement with ID Management Systems?

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Maybe you bought your printer from us more than a year ago, maybe you bought it from someone else but would like to work with a company that wants to help with your problems, whatever the reason, if you don’t have a support agreement in place with us, we can still help with any support or maintenance problems that you have with your plastic card printer on an ad hoc basis and we’ll always make sure that you have agreed to any costs involved before the work is completed, that way you don’t have to worry about facing a bill with nasty surprises on it.

We can also offer support on machines which have lapsed from maintenance or weren’t originally bought from us, pending an inspection of the equipment by one of our technical staff.

If you’ve got a problem with your plastic card printer or would just like to make sure that you’ve got support for when something does go wrong, call us on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.

Offering technical support round the clock

Sunday, January 15th, 2012

Our technical support line is covered round the clock, every day of the year, so if you’re the kind of organisation that doesn’t stop working don’t worry about being left in the cold outside of normal business hours.

We work with many different hospitals, prisons and other companies and organisations that simply don’t have the option to close and can’t afford to leave problems to be resolved within normal business hours. We also work with lots of people all around the world for whom normal business hours could easily be far outside of the times when most other UK companies keep their support lines manned.

So, if you’ve bought your printer from ID Management Systems in the last year, or you’ve already got a support agreement in place with us, don’t worry if you have a problem. We’re help to help fix it for you. If you need help, call us on 0800 408 1471 or email technical@idmanagement.com and we’ll do our best to get you printing again.

Sick of buying from people that don’t listen when you need help?

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

One of the things we at ID Management Systems have always prided ourselves on is the service and support that we offer to our customers. We don’t think that our involvement with our customers is done as soon as we’ve taken the money and shipped the order, that’s where it starts, and that’s why we still work with many of our first customers from when the company was founded almost two decades ago. As standard all printers that we supply have their manufacturer warranties, but as well as that they include support direct with us for the first year. This means that if you have any problems at all in the first year, and the years after that if you choose to continue the support, just give us a call and we’ll do everything that we can to help. Often we can resolve problems over the phone or by remotely accessing the equipment but if we come across something that can’t be fixed that way all you need to do is get the printer back to us and we’ll do our best to get it working again for you. We can even arrange for the loan of an equivalent specification machine for you to use while we repair yours so you don’t have to worry about being left unable to print. If you’d like to find out more about plastic card printers or any of the other equipment that we supply, call us on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.
