Why Fargo?

In more than 140,000 installations around the world, Fargo Card Identity Systems provide secure photo ID cards that help protect people, information, facilities and operations. Fargo ID cards enable systems with smart cards, magnetic stripe cards, proximity cards and photo ID badges. Fargo ID card printers, software, systems and materials are used in access control systems, time and attendance tracking, asset protection and other applications.

Photo IDs

Photo ID cards have come a long way. Fargo’s ID card printer technology delivers superior image quality and exceptional card durability at a surprisingly affordable cost. And that’s only the beginning of what Fargo can do as part of your photo ID card system.

With a Fargo ID card printer, you also get remarkable functionality. You can save time and money with a card identity system by integrating multiple operations into a single, multifunctional ID card:

Employee, visitor and vendor identification
Time and attendance
Physical access control (facilities and parking areas)
Logical access control (networks, databases and PCs)
Cashless vending and food service

Even with this functionality, your organization is vulnerable to new security threats from both the inside and outside. That’s why you need Fargo.
