You have selected Proximity Badge as your card type. Orders for this type of badge have some additional requirements. Please read and acknowledge the two statements below. Also, you will need to provide your prox card encoding information (Site Code and Starting Sequence Number) below. If you do not have this information we cannot process your prox card order. Please obtain this information before proceeding. Please note that we are only able to produce standard 26-bit non-proprietary prox card formats. If you need a non-standard or proprietary encoding format, you must obtain these from your original access control vendor.

There is a one-time setup fee of $25 for proximity security badge orders. This fee will be charged once for each different card design that you setup. You may order multiple individual badges for each card design without incurring additional setup fees. But if you create a different card design, the new design will be subject to an additional setup fee.

For security purposes, you will be required to send or fax us a letter, on corporate letterhead, stating that you authorize xpressmyself to produce proximity security badges for your company. In this letter, you should provide the name and contact information for your security officer. This information will be verified by our company before producing your order. This letter should be sent to 32 Court Street, Suite 2200 , Brooklyn, NY 11201, US or faxed to 718-504-4448.

We need your to specify a unique Site Code of this badge design. You should specify any number between 0 to 255. For all badges printed with this badge design will have this "Site Code" encoded. You will not be allowed to change this number in future.

Please specify any numeric number between 1 and 65,535 as your starting sequence number. The system will assign a sequence number to each badge ordered, starting with the number specified by you, and will automatically increment by one for each new badge ordered. Please note that since 65,535 is the highest allowed sequence number, you should set your starting sequence number low enough to allow for enough badges to be produced before hitting the maximum sequence limit. In other words, if you expect that the most badges you will ever need to produce is 1000 (cumulative total), then you should not set your starting sequence number higher than 64,535 as to allow enough room for 1000 badges to be produced before reaching the limit.

Laminate film provides a protective layer of polyester over your card. This protects the printed image from scratches and fading. Hologram film provides a generic holographic image imbedded in the film which increases the security of your card. It gives a more professional look and it difficult to duplicate.

If you plan to use a strap clip, lanyard, or other attachment, you should select to have your badge pre-slotted. If you plan to use a vinyl badge holder, you will not need this option.
