Paper-based photo IDs improve security and tracking of visitors

Tuesday, August 24, 2004 in Library

If you’re looking to get a better handle on visitors or other guests to your campus or facility, Avery may have just the solution for you.

A non-personalized “Guest” badge and a paper sign-in sheet are weak indicators of a person’s right to access a secure location.
