It seems that the new trend in youth sports is to issue photo ID cards to coaches and players. This is a great way for all to verify that a kid is the correct age and eliglble for the game that they are playing. There is nothing worse than when the other team brings in the minor league ringer and tries to pass them off as a 12 year old boy. To read more about this topic, check out this article here.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the old ID card printer that you traded in for a shiny new one? Well, if you traded it to IRIS, you can be assured that it didn’t just go into a landfill. Every component that arrives at our location is checked for useful spare parts (for printers where parts are no longer available) and then stored for a semi annual trip to a professional recycling facility.
Twice a year, the local government (Berks County) runs an electronics recycling event. This is the perfect place to recycle old ID card printers, Polaroid
film based camera systems and non functional computers. At this year’s event, over 150 electronic items were spared from the IRIS trash pile.
The recycling efforts do not stop there. Since our opening in the early ‘80s, IRIS has strived to recycle or reuse the vast majority of resources that are used in daily operations.

While we recieved many compliments on the new booth and badge reel balloon, we would have had a very empty space if it weren't for the great products that were showcased in our booth. We would like to thank the following companies for helping make ISCWest 2008 one of the best shows in memory:

Chicago approved perhaps the most strange tax that I have heard of in a long time...a 25% city tax on lanyards. With the price of gas going up, and now this...how will anyone in Chicago be able to afford thier deep dish pizza?
ISCWest 2008 in Las Vegas at the Sands Expo Center is open and in full swing. The IRIS crew (Dave, Bill, Jason, & Gary) arrived in town last night and setup the new booth. Since the show opened at 10am, the booth has been jumping. With strong traffic and lightup badge reels being handed out, we have barely had time to take a break. We'll post some more updates on the show when we get a free moment.

They're unfashionable, plain and boring. But for most business people, they're an office necessity.
Whether you've been forced to wear one while attending a conference or tradeshow, or you need one simply to enter your office building, chances are you've worn a lanyard sporting your credentials. Thanks to the prevalence and tackiness of rope lanyards, two sister-in-laws decided to create more stylish, colorful necklaces they named BooJee Beads, after the nickname of one of their children.
