Fargo Electronics, Inc.

Fargo Electronics offers more than a carte blanche. Fargo Electronics, Inc. makes desktop systems that print personalized plastic cards. Customers use Fargo's "instant-issue" card printers to make personalized bus and train passes, driver's licenses, hotel room access cards, library cards, membership cards, parking passes, retail loyalty and discount cards, and security and student identification cards. Users can print holograms, photographs, and bar codes on the cards and encode data on them with magnetic stripes or smart-card semiconductors.

A single HID Global smart card can be configured to support an individual business’ needs, whether basic or more sophisticated, for either centralized card issuance or networked for distributed issuance across different locations. Corporations can further extend the use of these secure smart cards to cost-effectively and conveniently solve additional business problems that occur in the future as the cards “do more then just open the door.”
