Thermal Direct Economy

The thermal direct economy range is ideal for all businesses that want to be able to use the same label for stock and dispatch labelling or even for specific product information. These labels can be easily removed from the sheet due to the honey glassine backing sheet that is used for production. This makes this economy range anything but an item that you would consider to be budget.

Thermal Direct Premium

While the premium range may be more expensive than the economy, the final picture quality really shows a difference that makes paying a bit extra worthwhile. This makes the Thermal Direct Premium range ideal for intricate and detailed labels like barcodes.

Thermal Transfer Premium

If you require long lasting labels then the thermal transfer premium range will be ideal for all of your needs. Furthermore, because this is part of the premium range of labels on offer from Insignia you can use them for barcodes and other labels that require complex detailing.

International driver’s licenses are often a useful and important addition to many overseas trips. An international driver’s license allows you to drive internationally without further testing, provided your domestic Australian driver’s licence is also valid. It also allows you to rent vehicles in many countries, as well as providing another form of identification during your travels.

International Driving Permits (IDP) can only be issued to holders of a current Australia state/territory driving license who are over 18, and are not  stand alone documents or substitutes for a valid driving licence,  you must carry your Australian state/territory licence with your IDP at all times.

International driving licenses are also officially sanctioned by the United Nations and accepted worldwide (in over 150 countries) as a recognisable form of identification, and carry your identification details in nine languages (Spanish, English, Russian, Italian, German, Arabic, French, Swedish, Chinese), in case you need to communicate with foreign authorities.

To apply for an International Driving Permit, you need a passport size black and white or coloured photograph, showing your full face without any dark glasses or obscuring your facial features (photocopies or fax copies are not acceptable) as well as a current drivers licence.

To obtain an International Driving Permit visit your local transport authority, such as RACQ in Queensland.

After completing your 100 hours of supervised on-road driving experience (recorded in an applicable Department of Transport learner logbook) and passing your practical driving test, you will gain a provisional license. Provisional licenses are the next step in the Australian driving licensing system, and are designed to create safer conditions for younger and inexperienced drivers.

Under the graduated licensing system, the type of provisional licence you receive will depend on how old you are. If you are under 25, you will get a P1 provisional licence. If you are 25 or older, you will get a P2 provisional licence. Both the P1 and P2 license have certain requirements that must be adhered to throughout the length of each licensing length.

If you hold a P1 provisional licence and you are under 25, you:

• Must display red P plates at the front and rear of your car when driving
• Must not use your mobile phone when driving, including hands-free functions or Bluetooth accessories (Passengers are also banned from using mobile phones on the loudspeaker function)
• May only carry one peer passenger under 21 years (excluding immediate family members) between 11.00 pm and 5.00 am
• Are not allowed to drive high-powered vehicles
• Must drive with a zero blood alcohol concentration
• Must always carry your licence when you are driving.

In order to obtain your P2 provisional license, all P1 license holders must pass a hazard perception test. This additional test complements the road rules and practical driving tests, and assesses whether your perception skills are advanced enough to permit you to upgrade your license. Once obtained, a P2 provisional license has its own additional requirements.

If you hold a P2 provisional licence and you are under 25, you must:

• Display green P plates at the front and rear of your car when driving
• Not drive high-powered vehicles
• Drive with a zero blood alcohol concentration
• Always carry your licence when you are driving.

If you are aged 25 or over, you must:

• Display green P plates at the front and rear of your car when driving.

If you obtained your provisional licence before 1 July 2007, you must:

• drive with a zero blood alcohol concentration if you are under 25, or a blood alcohol concentration below 0.05 if you are 25 or older
• Always carry your licence when you are driving.

Document archiving, also referred to as document management, is the practice of management of content and information originating within an organisation. The concept of document archiving is developed from the limitation to the quantity of hardcopy information that businesses could store and retrieve manually as and when required. Moreover, with the increase in the quantity of information produced, the electronic document archiving by the use of the document management software seemed almost invincible. As a result, more and more businesses are going in for document archiving.

Digitised archiving enables business owners to manage the content developed and serve as a backup, which may be used or shared when required, either within the organisation or with outside vendors. It also enables for easy transportation of data to different computer systems. Long term storage is possible with document archiving.

The systems used for document archiving are designed so that they can handle the information right from the ground level, up to the top level in an organisation, enabling the creation, storage and retrieval of information easier.

Moreover, it protects this information against being lost or misused. There are added benefits of the information being searched and shared easily as the system uses sophisticated and enhanced search tools for the purpose.

Businesses can garner immense benefits from document archiving. Firstly, document archiving helps in freeing up valuable storage resources as it compresses and stores the data electronically, onsite and offsite. Secondly, the businesses benefit from reduced costs and the avoidance of high capital requirements for the assimilation of assets and storage resources. Thirdly, document archiving helps in providing additional security to the documents and the information contained therein. With easy access, reference and retrieval becomes simple and instant. Therefore, information can be used as and when required.

Whatever the type of software used for document archiving, there are some basic features in each of these. They include easy capture of data, automatic filing as new files or documents are created, distribution of the required documents and integration of the data so that meaningful information is assimilated. Sorting is automatic and can be used to reference or retrieve files when the need arises. Therefore, with automated document archiving, businesses benefit by reduced overall costs, and enhanced capability of storage devices. Furthermore, there is reduced time spent on filing, storing, retrieving and distribution of data and information, effective management of the content developed within the business and added security of the documents.
