Frequently asked questions

How much does school ID card printing cost in Guwahati?

Pricing depends on card material, print sides, and order quantity — bulk school orders (200+ cards) get a lower per-card rate. Request a quote with your student count for an exact figure.

What information can go on a school ID card?

Standard fields are student photo, name, class, section, and school details. Most schools also add emergency contact, blood group, bus route, and a QR code for digital verification.

How long does a bulk school order take?

Once your student data and photos are finalized, a full-school batch typically ships within 5–7 working days.

Can you print a college ID card with a library barcode on it?

Yes — a barcode or RFID chip can be embedded on the same card, so students use one ID for both identification and library access.

What if a student joins after the main batch has already printed?

Late admissions and reissues are printed on a separate short-turnaround run so the main batch schedule isn't held up.

Can one university have multiple departments printing on the same account?

Yes — we set up a single standardized template centrally, and departments can submit their own batches against it so every card stays consistent university-wide.

Will an iDGen employee card work with our existing access-control system?

In most cases, yes — we print to common RFID frequencies used by standard access-control hardware. Share your reader's spec sheet with your quote request and we'll confirm compatibility before printing.

Reusable or single-use — which is better for a corporate front desk?

Reusable badge stock (write on with a marker or clip a printed slip) suits high walk-in volume. Pre-printed single-use cards suit facilities that pre-register guests in advance, like factories or campuses with visitor scheduling.

What's the difference between RFID and barcode ID cards?

A barcode card needs a direct line of sight to a scanner and gets unreadable if scratched. An RFID card is read by proximity, doesn't need line of sight, and holds up better to daily wear — the tradeoff is a higher per-card cost.

Which RFID frequency do I need?

125kHz proximity is common for basic door access; 13.56MHz MIFARE/NFC supports more advanced use (attendance systems, cashless payment, phone-based reading). Check your existing reader's spec sheet, or ask us to confirm before ordering.

How fast can event badges be printed before an event date?

Standard turnaround is same-week from a finalized registration list. For events under a week away, contact us directly to confirm we can meet your date before ordering.

Can membership cards be reprinted automatically each renewal cycle?

Yes — once your first batch is set up, we can run renewal batches as a standing annual order so you don't need to re-brief the design each year.

Do lanyards have to be ordered with an ID card batch?

No — lanyards can be ordered standalone, though ordering them alongside an ID card batch is usually more cost-effective and ships together.
