Lesar UK: identification supplies and card printing from Blackburn

Lesar UK is a supplier of identification products and systems based at Sentinel Court, Wilkinson Way, in Blackburn, Lancashire. The company describes more than twenty years of activity providing what it summarises as "all things identification", a catalogue that runs from ID card printers and consumables to visitor management software, access control and parking permits. Its stated customer base spans primary schools through to high security government organisations.

The business presents itself as able to assess customer requirements and to work with clients on what it calls a professional yet personal level. It also reports having supplied well over one million lanyards and a larger number of ID cards, a figure it uses to frame its experience in the security segment.

Card printers and consumables

The printer range is organised by printing method and format: single-sided, dual-sided, direct-to-card and retransfer machines, plus refurbished units and preconfigured bundles. Price tag printers and label printers sit alongside the card equipment. The catalogue lists models from several manufacturers, including the SD160, SD260, SD360, SR200, SR300 and CR805, the Sigma DS1, DS2 and DS3, the Primacy, Primacy 2, Zenius and Zenius 2, the Badgy200, Tattoo and Agilia, the DTC400, DTC550, DTC1000 and DTC4500, the HDP5000, HDP5000e, HDP5600 and HDP6600, the Enduro, Pronto and Rio Pro, the Ultima 600 and 300, the XID8100, XID8300 and XID8600, the Espresso II, the MC310 and MC110, the 21, 30, 31s, 50s, 50d, 50L, 51, 70 and 81, and the ZC100, ZC300, ZC350 and ZXP Series 7, 8 and 9.

Consumables and maintenance items include printer ribbons, a printer ribbon shredder and printer cleaning kits. The site also offers guidance for first-time printer buyers and a support and software section.

Under plastic cards, Lesar UK lists blank PVC cards, eco-friendly cards, white PVC cards, coloured cards, magstripe cards and signature strip cards, with custom printing available. The staff ID and badge line covers staff ID cards and ID badges, membership cards, keytags, and access control cards and fobs.

ID accessories include car parking permits, wristbands, clips and attachments, retractable badge reels, slot punches and signature tablets. There is also an all-in-one ID cards and accessories bundle. Card holders are grouped into single-sided, dual-sided, eco-friendly, clear enclosed, open faced and vinyl types. Lanyards are offered as personalised, pre-printed or plain.

Access control and identification software

On the access control side, the company lists Paxton access control products, access control cards and Paxton readers, and states that it installs door access control software. The software catalogue includes Cardpresso for Mac and Windows, Easybadge and E-Media for Windows, and the E-Visitor system, which is presented with modules for contractor management, visitor management and employee management.

ProVisit, described as visitor and contractor management software, appears among the featured products with one review recorded on the site. The featured selection also includes the Entry Level Smart 31s ID card printer bundle at £850.00 excluding VAT and the Smart 21s ID card printer at £495.00 excluding VAT, the latter labelled a best seller with five reviews; the staff ID cards and ID badges line carries 130 reviews.
