School and university badges primarily serve for student identification and access control, improving the organisation and security of educational institutions and universities.
The integration of badges into school and university systems simplifies the student’s on-campus experience, combining multiple functions into a single, convenient card to be kept in a wallet.
Thanks to access control, badges enhance security in schools and universities by preventing unauthorised or unfamiliar individuals from entering the premises.
In addition to student identification and access control, school and university badges perform several other functions:
University badges follow the ISO format and include one or more technologies, such as magnetic stripes, contact chips, or RFID chips.
The best badges for universities and schools are considered to be RFID badges. Thanks to their contactless technology, there is no longer a need to swipe the card, eliminating the main cause of wear and tear. Furthermore, RFID cards ensure maximum security and data protection thanks to advanced encoding.
At Partitalia, we produce and supply school and university badges made from a wide range of materials, each with specific characteristics:
At the Partitalia facility, we produce school and university badges with customised designs, enriched with the printing of the university or school’s logo, colours, and graphics upon the client’s request. These badges can also include photos, names, and student ID numbers for identification purposes, creating a unique product that is fully aligned with the school or university’s identity.
We use colour printing techniques such as offset, digital printing (thermography, indirect/re-transfer, or inkjet), and silkscreen printing. The customisation of school badges, which involves adding variable data like names, photos, and numbering, is done using techniques such as thermography, laser printing, inkjet, or embossing.
We have collected the most frequently asked questions about school and university badges.
The university badge is a card that primarily serves the function of student recognition. It is available with a magnetic stripe, contact chip and RFID chip. RFID badges are considered the best, because – thanks to contactless technology – they do not have to be swiped in the reader, ensuring a longer lifetime. In addition, they are encodable and very secure.
In addition to student identification, university and school badges offer many other functions: access control in the building and access to restricted areas such as servers and laboratories, attendance tracking, exam booking, digital signature, electronic purse for paying for canteen meals and purchasing snacks from vending machines.
School and university badges optimise the student experience and improve the management of the institution, thanks to multiple built-in functionalities. They ensure greater security by preventing outsiders and unauthorised persons from entering the school and university environments.
