The Other Italian Brand

The Vantaggio leather collection is an exquisite grouping of full-grain Italian hand-stained leather products. They all have the same thing in common, the look and feel of enduring quality. Each piece of leather is hand-stained in Italy, in either a rich cognac or a warm dark brown. The Vantaggio collection encompasses a variety of styles and items. They have a beautiful, six piece desk set consisting of a 20x34 sized desk pad or blotter, a pen and pencil cup, a business card holder, a memo box for loose paper, a post-it note holder and pen stand, and a letter box. They have an array of passport and travel wallets, plus all of the wallet styles for men that are popular. They have a line of business card holders and organizers. They have multi-ring day planners. They also have those popular corporate gifts, the letter pad in two sizes. The junior sized pad is 9 x 6 while the letter size is a generous 13/10. They also feature the 3-ring binder style of letter pad and the basic zippered letter pad. All of these items are made in the same elegant leather that looks so fantastic with a monogram or logo embossed. Initials can be monogrammed in gold or silver leaf to match the hardware, or blind stamped to leave a logo or initial imprint only.

The briefcase collection by Vantaggio is elegant in the richly burnished leather. They have the classily styled lawyer's brief which is lightweight and spacious. These protect your papers with their elegant brass combination locks. The deluxe brief bag has an updated yet classic look with buckles on either side of the combination lock. The buckles close by cleverly hidden magnets for ease in opening and closing the case. Inside are three multi file compartments and a leather tipped organizer for glasses, pens, cell phones, pda cases and other sundries. Their attach cases are outstanding and very professional looking. They have bound edges or French edging depending on the look you like. One is very traditional while the other is quite modern.

Id Cards And Airport Security, What Is Required?

ID cards and airports have become a scary combination. Being in the industry, I take daily calls from individuals who want to get a photo ID card for themselves or their family member because of an upcoming flight. Whenever I get a call like this I start to cringe, because it makes me realize that many airports only require an employee ID card or some kind of photo identification to allow them past security. As I begin to question if the card would even be acceptable, many have responded that they have already talked with the airport and were told that any form of photo identification would be acceptable.

Many companies and clubs simply have members and many of these organizations produce ID cards as well. Ive got a couple of photo security badges in my wallet along with a PADI card and a few others cards with my picture on them. Is this all thats needed to board a plane? I mean today we aren't allowed to have to take a coke on the plane, but Im allowed to get aboard with my newspaper ID card?

To make matters worse, it has become easier and easier to produce high quality identification cards in small quantities. There are sites all over the web that will not only produce an employee ID card, but will also produce a fake identification card for the right price.

According to a poll taken by Travelocity.com Inc, frequent travelers are most likely to favor implementing a National Travel Card System by some 71%, and they are more likely to use it. More detailed than a driver's license or passport, the card could contain encrypted information including the traveler's photograph, fingerprints, flight history and facial or retinal (eye) characteristics. As described in the survey, the voluntary program would allow cardholders to avoid extensive luggage searches. But what does this mean about those that dont want to use such a card. Does that mean that they can get on board with their new club of the month ID card?

Most people in the ID card industry feel its important not to produce fraudulent identification cards; but who is going to verify the identify and membership of the plant of the month club? After discussing this in our offices, there is only so much we can do when it comes to producing ID cards. Sure we stop anything that looks as if they are trying to duplicate or produce a fake ID card, but when it comes to a fishing club, sorority or computer club its simply beyond our economic responsibility.

It really comes down to identification companies taking a proactive role to protect their industry. This is a market where we will either be self regulated or destroyed. Creating simpler ways of doing things in a professional matter is a result of a proactive marketplace, or it could it be a tool of marketplace destruction? Over 6 billion plastic cards were produced last year alone. I would say its worth protecting.
