WALTHAM, Mass., April 5, 2006–Polaroid Commercial ID Systems (Polaroid Commercial ID), a division of Polaroid Corporation, has launched a fully integrated ID Card system with the software, camera interface, printer, and supplies all manufactured by Datacard Group. The new Polaroid system represents a significant advancement in product quality, flexibility, and functionality.

Furthermore, Senior Product and Marketing Manager Audrey White noted, “Polaroid was seeking an OEM supplier that could provide us a fully integrated solution with current technologies that removes the guesswork for our customers. Datacard provides that comprehensive solution, and all of our new products work seamlessly together.”

Fred Ketcho, regional vice president of Americas sales and service for Datacard Group, said his firm was “delighted to be selected by Polaroid Commercial ID as its OEM supplier. We are confident that the integrity and quality of Datacard ID card solutions will well represent the Polaroid brand and that these offerings will be fully leveraged by their sales channels and customer base.”
