Membership Clubs and Association ID Cards
Should you require membership cards for a club or association Spectrum will personalise your card with the required information, be it a name or number or a combination of many different features. Clients who have such cards are security companies, security associations, car clubs, facilities companies, charities, construction companies, general business, office id and nursing homes.
Some motor sport clubs have their cards personalised with images of their chosen or individual vehicles. They may have supporting text on the card with a named individual and their personal vehicle details. Or combinations of other information.
Security Firm Employee ID Cards
Security companies require something a little more precise; as they should comply with the British Standard 7499 for security operations.
They require cards with a number of set features:
- Company Name
- Company address
- Company telephone number
- Employee name
- Employee Number
- Expiry date (not more than three years from issue date)
- Employee signature
- Employee photograph
Security companies are required to hold a register of issue and withdrawal of all cards and a record of lost cards.
