FWIW the IBM badge has:-

* The 8-bar company logo

* The country of issue

* Name

* Photo

On the back is a magstripe (not really used any more) and central return address in case it is found.

It has an RFID for door access and to store cash for vending-machines and the restaurant.

No employee number anywhere. I have to remember that (along with the passwords for seventy-six different systems.)

Contractors have a yellow background for the name.

ID cards have to be on display at all times, so many wear them on a lanyard or clipped to a belt loop.



As an employee that has never been to a large IBM facility I had no idea it worked in stores or for vending machines. The only use it has is opening the front door. I don't wear it in the office and now one has complained yet.


Should have said that all of it will vary by site/country.
