Case Study: Kalunga expands its product line and cuts card issuance costs with HID FARGO printers

HID® FARGO® ID Badge and Card Printers Chosen to Expand Kalunga Product Line and Reach New Customers

Kalunga, the largest Brazilian distributor of office and school supplies, sought to expand its product line to include a solution for printing high-quality, low-cost ID cards. Their challenge was to find a supplier of compact, easy-to-use, and secure printers that were available locally for support. Partnering with their distributor Alta Gama Prime, they turned to vendor HID Global to address this need.

HID Global provided its HID FARGO DTC1250e ID card printers, Asure ID software, and UltraCards. The solution allowed Kalunga to successfully reach new customers, particularly small businesses and schools. The results were significant, with over 50 printers and 200,000 cards sold. Clients reported savings of over 70% per card and reduced issuance time from five days to real-time, demonstrating the measurable impact of the HID solution.
