Recycled cards and others made from corn are coming out of an El Segundo, Calif. company that is manufacturing student ID cards, hotel key cards, hospital identification cards., security clearance cards and more. Primarily a reseller of security and identification cards, Advantidge, Inc. buys its equipment from manufacturers such as Fargo Electronics, HID Corp. and Zebra Technologies Corp., and resells directly to end users or in some cases through an integrator.
