feature several integrated encoding
options, meaning you can print contact,
contactless, proximity or magnetic stripe
cards right out of the box. This gives you
flexibility in the type of access control
system you deploy and it allows the card
to become multi-use, helping you to:
• Keep unauthorised parties out of
your facility, specifically those who
could be potentially hostile (which
helps improve worker safety) and
potential thieves (which helps protect
your assets)
• Know when authorised parties enter
and exit your facility in case of an
accident, theft or other occurrence in
which further investigation is needed
• Lock down your data by giving
workers an easier way to secure
computing devices such as tablets
and laptops when not in use
• RFID printers and label printers: The
secret ‘one-two punch’ for improved
warehouse safety and security
Many warehouse and
distribution centre
(DC) operators
forget about how
powerful their
printers can be in
proactive security
and safety efforts
While the card printer can be a triple
threat technology – or triple threat
preventer – for your warehouse, there’s
even more you can do to improve safety
and security if you also have the right
label printer and labelling technology on
hand. For example, you can:
• Better monitor time and
temperature-sensitive products,
which helps to improve product
safety in the supply chain
• Track and trace inventory movements
to identify and ideally, mitigate
potential losses
• Confirm whether a missing item is
actually stolen or just misplaced and
then aid with locating and recovering
the item
• Improve worker compliance with
supply chain safety standards related
to proper materials handling, storage
and transport of all items, including
hazardous materials
Look for enterprise-grade thermal
printers capable of producing barcoded
labels and/or labels with RFID tags
depending on the type of asset you are
trying to track. You may also want to
consider investing in a high-resolution
micro-label printer, especially if you
produce or store extremely small but
