Gate Pass Printing — A Numbered Pass in the Visitor Hand
A numbered pass with photo, QR and host, printed in the size your gate uses and laid out the way you choose.
Visitors flood the reception desk of Indian factories, warehouses and multi‑plant offices every day. Without a clear, tamper‑proof way to identify who is on the premises, security teams waste time checking IDs, and HR struggles to track contractor hours. A single, numbered gate pass that can be printed, emailed or sent to a phone removes that friction.
Flexible printing for every site layout
Different plants and office wings have varying space at the security desk. VizPass lets you choose from six paper sizes, from a compact badge‑size slip to a full A5 sheet, so the pass fits any holder or rack.
- No need to reorder stationery when you open a new location – just select the size that works best.
- Larger formats accommodate additional information without crowding the layout.
- Small badge‑size passes are ideal for temporary contract labour who only need a quick visual cue.
Designer‑driven field placement
Every organisation wants its own data hierarchy on the pass. With VizPass a designer decides which fields appear, in which column and at what size, ensuring the most critical details stand out.
- Place “Visitor Name” and “Company” in bold, left‑aligned columns for instant recognition.
- Add “Visit Reason” or “Department” in a narrower column to keep the pass tidy.
- Adjust font sizes per field so the QR code remains scannable while other text stays legible.
QR‑code checkout for fast egress
When a visitor leaves, the QR code printed on the pass is scanned to check them out, updating the system in seconds. This eliminates manual sign‑out sheets and reduces bottlenecks at the exit gate.
- Real‑time audit trails let security verify who left and when.
- The same QR code works whether the pass was printed or delivered digitally.
- No extra hardware is required beyond a standard barcode scanner.
Digital delivery keeps the line moving
Not every visitor wants a paper slip. VizPass can email the pass or send it directly to the visitor’s phone, preserving the same layout and QR code.
- Walk‑in guests can receive a digital pass instantly, avoiding printer queues.
- Contract labour on multiple sites can store their pass on a mobile device, reducing waste.
- The digital version carries the company logo and the mandatory platform credit line, just like the printed copy.
Compliance and branding built‑in
The pass always displays the company logo and a fixed platform credit line – a requirement that cannot be removed, ensuring consistent branding and attribution.
- Because the credit line is fixed, you won’t need to audit each pass for compliance.
- The logo placement is controlled by the designer, so it appears prominently on every size.
- For data‑privacy compliance, see the guidelines from the Ministry of Electronics & IT on handling visitor information.

Gate Pass Printing — A Numbered Pass in the Visitor Hand FAQs
Can we print gate passes in different sizes for different entry points at our facility?
Yes, VizPass lets you choose from six paper sizes, from a compact badge-size slip to a full A5 sheet, so you can match the pass format to whatever holder or rack your security desk already has. A designer controls the layout—deciding which fields appear, in which column, and at what size—so each entry point can use the format that fits its physical setup without forcing you to standardize desk furniture or buy new holders. Larger formats work well if you need to display more information; smaller badge-size passes are ideal for temporary contract labour who need only a quick visual check. Since the pass is generated on demand within VizPass, you don't need to pre-print stationery or maintain inventory for each location.
How do we prevent visitors from reusing or forging a gate pass?
Each pass is numbered and carries a QR code that must be scanned at the exit point to check the visitor out. Once scanned, that numbered pass is marked as used in the system, preventing it from being used again or by someone else. The pass also displays your company logo and a fixed platform credit line, making it immediately recognizable as an official VizPass document on your site. A designer controls the visual layout, so you can place the number and QR code in positions that are hard to duplicate. This combination of unique numbering, QR tracking, and your branding makes casual forgery impractical.
What if a contractor or visitor doesn't have a printer—can we still issue them a pass?
Yes. The same numbered gate pass can be emailed directly to the visitor or sent to their phone, so they don't need access to a printer. When they arrive at your gate, security scans the QR code on their phone screen to check them in, and the same code is scanned again when they leave. This flexibility lets you issue passes to remote contractors or pre-register visitors before they arrive, reducing desk bottlenecks at reception. You maintain a physical printed copy on site for your records, while the visitor carries their pass digitally—whichever suits your workflow and their convenience.
How do we make sure the right information is visible on the pass at a glance?
A designer within your team controls exactly which fields appear on the pass, in which column, and at what size, so you can prioritize the data that matters most for your security and HR teams. For a factory floor, you might place the visitor's name, the host department, and entry time in the largest font; for a multi-floor office, you might emphasize the floor or wing and time window. Since you choose from six paper sizes, larger formats give you room to display more detail without crowding, while smaller badge-size passes keep only essentials visible. This designer-driven approach means your pass layout reflects your actual security and tracking needs, not a generic template.
Can we integrate gate pass data with our existing compliance and visitor records?
Each numbered pass and its QR code are part of VizPass's visitor and gate management system, so the entry and exit scan data flows into your records automatically. When a visitor's QR code is scanned at checkout, the system logs the time and presence data, building an audit trail of who was on site and when. This integration supports your ability to track contractor hours, verify attendance, and maintain the visitor logs required for regulatory compliance. For details on how VizPass handles personal data and integrates with your compliance frameworks, reach out to book a walkthrough so our team can show you how the data flows through your specific workflows.
Do we need different software or hardware to print and manage these numbered passes?
No. VizPass is a single platform that manages visitor pre-registration, pass design, printing, and QR code tracking all in one place. When a designer sets up your pass template—choosing fields, sizes, and layout—that configuration is stored in the system. You print passes on standard office or security-desk printers using the paper size you've selected; there's no special hardware required. The QR code on each printed pass links back to the visitor record in VizPass, so when security scans it at the gate or exit, the system instantly retrieves and updates that visitor's data. This unified approach means you're not juggling separate tools for design, printing, and tracking—everything flows through VizPass's core features.
