Automatic Smart Visitor Badge Printing

Print a professional visitor badge automatically as soon as a guest checks in.

A visitor badge should do more than display a name. It should help employees swiftly recognize who is visiting, who they are meeting, why they are onsite, and whether their visit is still valid.

LogBook360 automatically generates and prints visitor badges after check-in, with important data such as the visitor's photo, name, host, visit purpose, date, QR code, and expiration time.

  • Handwritten badges are replaced with digital visitor badges.
  • Printing is streamlined into a quick, automated process.
  • Visitor badges stay current, organized, and controlled throughout your facility.

Turn Every Check-In Into a Secure Visitor ID

Once a visitor completes check-in, LogBook360 automatically queues the badge for printing. The configured badge template puts relevant visitor data into the badge, helping security and employees identify guests easily.

This turns visitor badge printing from a reception task into another layer of physical security.

Instead of asking:
“Who is that person?”
Employees can quickly see:
  • Who they are.
  • Who they’re visiting.
  • Why they’re here.
  • And whether the badge is still valid.

What Makes LogBook360 Visitor Badges Smarter?

Automatic Badge Printing

No manual badge creation after every visitor arrives.

LogBook360 automatically queues the badge for printing when the visitor finishes check-in using the kiosk or QR code.

This keeps guests flowing for reception and security teams without adding another hand-off step to the check-in process.

Put a Face to Every Visitor Badge

Add the visitor’s photo directly to their visitor ID badge so employees and security teams can quickly see who they’re dealing with. It makes it easier to match the person wearing the visitor badge with their visitor record, especially when your workplace is busy.

Whether you’re managing visitors in an office, campus, manufacturing facility, or healthcare environment, photo-based visitor badges make identification quicker and more straightforward.

With LogBook360’s visitor badge printing software, the visitor’s photo is automatically pulled into the selected template and included when the badge is printed.

Display the Information That Matters

Different visits require different information.

Configure badges to display relevant details such as:

LogBook360's current badge workflow supports templates that can pull photo, name, host, date, QR code, and visit purpose all into the badge.

Show the information people need to identify a visitor quickly.

  • Visitor name
  • Company
  • Visitor photo
  • Host name
  • Visit purpose
  • Date
  • QR code
  • Badge ID
  • Valid-until time
Badge expiration

Badges That Expire Automatically

A visitor badge shouldn't stay active forever.

A traditional badge gets forgotten. Someone leaves with it. Or worse, an old badge is still being worn days later.

LogBook360 solves this with automatic badge expiration.

Badges can expire at the end of the day or at a set time. The QR credential also becomes invalid after the visit window has passed.

This makes the badge's validity clear and reduces the risk of stale visitor credentials remaining active.

Different visitors. Different badges.

Create Badges for Every Type of Visitor

Your visitors aren't all the same, so your badges don't have to be either.

A contractor may require different identification from a VIP guest, while a vendor may need a different badge from a standard visitor.

LogBook360 allows organizations to create different badge styles based on visitor type, including:

Visitor

Contractor

VIP

Vendor

Each type can use its own separate badge template.

This helps security teams quickly identify different visitor types through smart visitor badges, without having to check the full visitor record every time.

Badge customization

Make Your Visitor Badges Your Own

Your visitor badge is a part of the experience people have when they visit your premises.

LogBook360 lets organizations customize badge templates consisting of their logo, brand colors, and custom fields without requiring any kind of code.

This means your visitor badge can feel like part of your organization's visitor experience rather than an afterthought.

Your Logo

Keep your brand visible on the badge.

Your Colors

Match your badges to your existing visual identity.

Your Fields

Display the visitor information that is relevant to your team.

Your Badge Types

Create different templates for different visitor categories.
Lost badges and reprinting

Lost Badge? Reprint It in a Single Click.

Visitor lost their badge? No need to create a new record.

A badge can be reprinted directly from the dashboard by authorized users. When a replacement gets issued, the previous badge automatically becomes invalid.

Security teams may thus replace a lost badge without leaving an old credential active.

Badge activity

Every Badge Leaves a Digital Trail

Badge printing should not occur outside your visitor management system.

LogBook360 keeps badge activity connected to the visitor's visit, including information about badge issuance, reprints, and expiration.

This helps administrative teams and security have a better record of events during every visit.

Digital visitor badges

Don’t Need a Printed Badge? Go Digital.

Not every visitor requires a printed badge.

LogBook360 can send a digital QR credential straight to the visitor's phone for sites that would want a paperless experience.

Visitors can use the time-limited QR credential for both entry and exit without requiring badge stock or a printer.

This gives organizations flexibility:

Print a badge when one is required.Go digital when it isn’t.

Both workflows operate within the same visitor management platform.
