Get Started Fast

The set-up wizard and extensive sample library help you get started quickly
ID Flow includes numerous samples and a step-by-step design setup wizard, making ID card creation a simple and straight-forward process.

Create Cards and Badges of Any Shape and Size

Create professional designs on any size plastic card or paper badge, portrait or landscape, single or double-sided
ID Flow allows for the creation of ID cards and badges of any size and shape.

Click on design elements to insert and position them on the card.

While designing an ID card, view either the field names or switch to live data mode for a realistic preview of how the card will print.

Rich Text Editor

Combine regular text with database fields and other text fields including serial numbers, dates and times
Unlike other software, regular text, multiple database fields, serial numbers, dates and times can all be combined in a single rich text box ensuring everything is spaced and aligned properly. No cumbersome concatenation or scripting is necessary!

Import, Acquire and Edit Photos and Images

Import images of many popular file formats
ID Flow support many photo and image formats including BMP, JPEG, GIF, Photoshop, TIFF, PNG and many more.

Acquire and edit photos
Acquire photos from any Windows TWAIN or WIA compliant camera or scanner. Photos can be manually or auto-cropped and inserted on a card design, saved to a database or as a file.

Remove backgrounds from photos automatically
Backgrounds can be automatically removed from photos resulting in consistent, clean images that may be placed over other backgrounds or images.

Identification Features

Add 1D and 2D barcodes
Insert any of more than 20 industry standard barcodes on your label or card. Encode more data in less space using 2D barcodes, Data Matrix and PDF417. Apply various customizable formatting and quality control options, such as bar width, bar ratio, bar reduction, readable text font and placement, rotation, etc.

Integrated signature pad support
ID Flow has integrated support for easy signature acquisition from Topaz, IntegraSign / Interlink signature pads. Optionally acquire the signatures and save them in the database along with other user information.

Add magnetic stripes
Secure your ID cards with magnetic stripes. ID Flow allows encoding of all three tracks at low or high coercivity.

Adhere to HID access control cards
Adhere printed badges and cards to HID access control cards such as proximity and smart cards for use with prox card and smart card readers.

Design Using Layers

Cards may be designed in layers to organize the design, add transparency and watermark effects and conditionally print objects

One of the most powerful feature of ID Flow is the ability to structure your card design in layers. Layers are stacked upon one another and the opacity of each layer can be adjusted to create transparency and watermark effects. Also, each layer can be conditionally printed.

Conditional Objects and Layers

All design object and layers can be set to print only if designated database conditions are satisfied for the selected record
Creating conditional objects alleviates the need to create multiple cards that are similar to one another. Instead, design one card and set design elements to print only when related database conditions are satisfied.

Print to Plastic Card or Standard Printers

Print to any printer
With ID Flow, you can use your existing Microsoft Windows compatible laser, inkjet, or PVC card printer including Zebra / Eltron, Evolis, UltraMagicard, Nisca, Fargo, and Datacard without the need to install special drivers.

Print on self-expiring and adhesive badges
Print on self-expiring badges that change color after a few hours or on adhesive badges that may be attached to HID access control cards for use with smart card and prox card readers.
