How Kevin Saves Money with IDLine's Release Program

  • Feb 20, 2025

 

About IDLine's Release Program

A pre-paid bulk order where the entire batch is produced (excluding personalization) and stored at our facility until needed by the customer. Badges can be released in quantities as small as one at a time.

 

Utilization

Suppose you currently have 50 employees needing name badges and anticipate an additional 50 throughout the year. Prepay now for 100 badges plus release fees. We’ll personalize and ship the first 50, while the remaining 50—without personalization—will be stored for future use. As mentioned above, badges can be released in quantities as low as one at a time.

If a new employee is hired or needs to replace a lost name badge, simply log in to our website, visit your company store, and place an order for the required badge(s). The website automatically tracks your available stock on the order page. Once your order is received, we will personalize the badge and ship it within 2 business days*.

*For orders placed before 2pm CST.
