IDpack today announced the official launch of IDpack v4, the most significant update to its cloud-based issuance platform since its inception. This release marks a pivotal shift in the software’s architecture, driven directly by user feedback and a continued commitment to professional-grade performance.

Returning to What Works: The All-New Designer Module

When IDpack in the Cloud launched in 2020, it introduced a separated “Template and Project” workflow. While innovative, many users preferred the intuitive, unified structure that made the original IDpack for Windows a trusted desktop standard for over two decades.

In response, IDpack v4 reintroduces the Designer and Producer Modules. This architectural evolution unifies the Template Editor and Project Manager into a single streamlined environment. Users can now design and configure projects within Designer and manage records in Producer, restoring the familiar “One Project” workflow customers know and trust.

A More Powerful Creative Suite

The new Designer Module is more than a reorganization. The Design Editor now includes built-in image filters, a new checkbox input type for dynamic text, and enhanced barcode objects with customizable background colors to ensure optimal scan contrast.

To meet modern identification requirements, IDpack v4 supports multiple QR code types on a single badge and introduces full compatibility with high-density Data Matrix formats.

Enterprise Performance and Security

Beyond the interface, IDpack v4 delivers major upgrades to its core technology:

• Next-Generation Print Engine: Reengineered for advanced production environments, the new engine supports multi-page output, Rasterize PDF processing, and precise Gamma adjustment for professional-grade color accuracy.
• High-Security Printing: Built-in UV panel printing support for Fargo HDP5000 and HDP6600 retransfer printers enables secure, tamper-resistant card production.
• The Print Center: Formerly known as the Print Queue, this redesigned module provides centralized Service Bureau control for managing badge production across departments or clients.
• Blazing-Fast Performance: Extensive SQL optimizations and updated core libraries make v4 the fastest and most responsive version of IDpack to date.

A New Invitation to the Cloud

“We heard our customers loud and clear,” says the IDpack team. “With v4, we’ve combined the flexibility of the cloud with the familiar, efficient workflow professionals have relied on for 20 years. If you’ve tried IDpack in the cloud before and felt it wasn’t quite right, we invite you to experience the new standard with IDpack v4.”
