The QR code ID badges provided by CVS are professionally printed on plastic (similar to a credit card in size and material) or as robust stickers for hard hats – they’re made to withstand typical construction site wear and tear. The codes themselves are printed in high resolution and are protected by a coating so that they won’t smudge or fade easily. Of course, heavy use or harsh conditions can eventually scratch or damage any badge. If a QR code is ever unscannable due to damage, the backup is that you can still look up the employee’s record manually in the CVS system by name or ID. However, it’s also easy to obtain a replacement badge. CVS offers on-demand card printing; since all the data is stored in the system, you can request a new card for that employee and have it shipped out, often by the next business day (the service prides itself on fast turnaround for ID cards). There’s a small fee per card, but no large batch order is necessary – even one-off replacements are handled quickly. Similarly, if a worker loses their badge, their information is still safely in CVS; you’d simply disable the lost badge (for security, if needed) and issue a new one with a new QR code linked to the same profile. Overall, the badges are built to last, but you have convenient options to address any that get lost or damaged, ensuring that QR verification can continue uninterrupted.
