InstantCard

Employee ID badge printing without the hassle.

Visit InstantCard

InstantCard is a service that handles the creation, printing, and shipping of professional employee ID cards on demand. It solves the problem of companies having to either print ID badges in-house—which requires dedicated equipment, staff, and dealing with printer issues—or outsource to providers that require large minimum batch sizes. InstantCard eliminates both hassles by allowing single-card orders with no minimum batch size and same-day shipping.

The service includes free custom template design with unlimited templates, and supports a wide range of security features such as NFC, RFID, QR codes, magnetic stripes, and holographic overlays. It offers API integrations for custom ordering workflows, an online user management portal with reporting, and multiple shipping options including USPS, UPS, and FedEx. The platform is SOC 2 certified for data security.

InstantCard is designed for companies of all sizes, from small businesses that need just a few cards to large multi-site corporations. It operates on a prepaid account model with no setup fees, monthly charges, or annual fees; customers deposit funds that never expire and are charged a per-card rate regardless of batch size.
