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?

It’s very important to spend time making sure that you get the right plastic card printer for your solution, but possibly the most important part of your ID card solution can also be one of the cheapest, the plastic cards themselves.
At ID Management Systems we supply a very wide range of different plastic cards, including cards with different technology like smart cards, proximity cards, mag-stripe cards and also cards made of different types of plastic. It can seem very confusing, but if you’re just getting started and your ID cards are purely meant to be for visual identification, then the odds are what you need are standard Fotodek Premier cards.
We recommend Fotodek cards because they are made of an exceedingly good quality PVC with a great finish, meaning that your finished cards will look better and last longer. These cards aren’t supposed to be the cheapest on the market they’re supposed to be the best.
While we understand why people might want to try and cut corners and save money where they can, plastic cards are something that it is better to aim for quality in. Cheap cards made from poor quality PVC will not print as well or last as long and they may even damage your printer.
If you’d like to find out more about getting the right plastic cards for your ID card solution, call ID Management Systems on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.

The Internet has been great for business and ecommerce is a wonderful thing, but when you’re dealing with technology, especially when you’re new to it, isn’t it nicer when you can just talk to someone?
At ID Management Systems we have huge amounts of visitors to our website and lots of people happily order their plastic card printers, access cards and related equipment without needing to talk to us and that’s great, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to hear from you.
A lot of the time people like knowing that they’re dealing with a specific person within an organisation and that’s how we work. All of our customers have an individual named account manager and they will always be able to talk to someone that will try and help with any queries that they might have.
So whether you’ve been working with ID Management Systems for years or you’re just starting to look into ID cards, call us on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.

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.

2011 has been the best year yet for ID Management Systems. We’ve worked with a greater number of customers than ever before and supplied more plastic card printers, smart and technology cards and card accessories in the last year than in any year before since the company was founded back in 1994.
Of course, just because 2011 has been great doesn’t mean that we’re sitting back and relaxing. We’re looking forward to a great 2012 with even bigger amounts of business and we’ve got some great new clients that we’re already looking forward to starting work with.
With any luck, by the end of 2012 we’ll be in a position to look back on an even better year, with more happy customers supplied and even more new and exciting products in our ever-expanding range.
We’d like to once again thank all of the customers that have helped make 2011 become such a great year for ID Management Systems and we look forward to working with you again in 2012.

We understand that people have to be careful with their money and want to make sure that they get the best value that they can, so the good news is that you can now issue plastic ID cards to your staff for a lower cost than ever before.
With the increasing popularity of plastic ID cards for companies, the equipment to produce them has become much cheaper. Just a few years ago a plastic ID card printer could easily cost thousands of pounds, now we have printers suitable for producing small volumes of cards available for not much more than £600.
If you’re only looking to produce a very small number of cards or want to try and get them on an even tighter budget, our card bureau service may be just what you need. This service means that you only pay for the number of ID cards that you need, keeping your up-front costs down as low as possible.
If you’d like to find out more about how we can help you to get high quality plastic ID cards for your staff at a great price, call us on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.

One of the main reasons that we hear from companies for why they don’t issue plastic ID cards for their staff is cost; that they don’t think that they can afford to do it. While it is understandable in the current economic climate for companies to be very careful with their money, the potential benefits of issuing ID cards to staff can far outweigh the cost.
Security is obviously a major concern for all companies and it is essential to make sure that only those people that should are able to access your premises or represent your company.
For larger companies it isn’t always possible for people to recognise everybody and know that people are where they are supposed to be. ID cards for staff are an easy way to avoid this problem.
For companies that have people that go out and about and deal directly with customers it is essential that customers are confident that they are only dealing with legitimate representatives of your company. Asking to see credentials before dealing with someone is second nature for people these days. Do you really want your staff to be forced to admit that they can’t verify themselves to your customers?
If you’d like to find out more about issuing plastic ID cards to your staff, call us on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.

Our range of accessories that allow you to wear or display plastic ID cards covers a lot of different things, with lots of options for different types and styles of badge holders, lanyards, strap clips and yoyos.
The most popular solution for many of our customers is also one of the cheapest and simplest. We supply our bulldog badge holders in a lot of different colours in both landscape and portrait orientation, making it easy for you to find a colour that suits your branding or allows you to differentiate between different levels and types of cards with corresponding accessories.
Our standard breakaway lanyards are available in a similar range of colours, making it easy to have coloured card accessories that go with each other. These lanyards are also available with either plastic or metal fittings, giving you even more choice. Of course, these lanyards all have a built-in plastic safety breakaway, so you don’t have to worry about health and safety problems from people’s ID cards getting caught in anything.
A basic lanyard and card holder is one of our cheapest options giving you an attractive and safe way for people to display their ID card.
If you’d like to find out more about our range of plastic card accessories, call ID Management Systems on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.

One of the industries that we have found ourselves working with a lot recently is training providers, often these are small companies with a very specific focus, like training and accreditations in health and safety, working at heights or driving fork lift trucks. It’s common for people to find themselves undergoing this type of short training course for whatever specific qualifications their industry provides.
So what makes plastic card printers useful for training companies? Simple. It’s normal that when you complete this kind of training course you get given something to show the accreditation. A few years ago people would just receive a certificate, now it’s normal that you also get a plastic ID card, personalised with photo, name and so on, and listing the accreditation that has been earned. People completing courses like to receive these because it’s an easy way of demonstrating the accreditation if they ever need to.
Offering plastic cards like these is an easy way of adding considerable extra value to a training course and with plastic card printers now cheaper than ever before it doesn’t have to cost too much.
If you’d like to find out more about producing printed plastic cards for your training company, call ID Management Systems on 0800 408 1471 and we’ll be happy to help.
