Lima, NY (June 18, 2013) – Bristol ID Technologies was recently recognized as the winner in the Access Control and ID card category of the prestigious International Card Manufacturers Association’s (ICMA) Élan Awards and as a finalist in the Best Unique Innovation category.
Bristol ID was selected as the winner of this esteemed industry award in the Access Control and ID Card category for its Little League World Series 2013 VIP Credential entry. Heightened security was needed for the 2013 Little League World Series.

Combined with surface foil stamped images that reflect the light, this business card is sure to get noticed.
