Essential Considerations About Custom Plastic Name Tags

By Rebecca Barnes


Name tags are used to identify the employees who are working in a particular company within themselves and with their customers as well. However, there are a couple of factors that the respective professional in charge of making them should take note to ensure that they are effective enough. Below are some few factors to consider in custom plastic name tags.

Ensure that there is relevant information about the carrier on the tag. Clients and other acquaintances learn about an employee from the information on the display in their badges. For that reason, one should ensure that there is relevant information about an employee that makes the customer well acquainted with them. One can even add a picture of the respective holder for further consideration by the acquaintances or clients.

Take note of their size. The size of your badges should be big enough to ensure that the intended information fits within. However, this does not mean that they should be too big to the point of making their carrier uncomfortable wearing them. In besides that, you can choose different shapes to indicate different positions that their carrier are in a company to avoid making big and uncomfortable tags.

Choose a suitable color. The color that one chooses in an identifier determines their relevance as well. Dull colors are highly disregarded since they tend to shadow the color of the prints on them and are unattractive as well. Consider a color that matches with the uniform worn by the employee but is not shadowed by it as well. The prints, on the other hand, are supposed to constitute different colors for easier identification.

Take note of their placement. Badges that are supposed to be pinned on the carrier uniform should be placed on the upper left chest. This place is sometimes uncomfortable for some workers making them prefer hang tags that are slightly lower from the chest area. This is usually common with workers who mistake the reader from staring at their chest when trying to read out the information displayed in the badges.

Consider using the badges for other purposes other than identification. There are companies which use advanced security systems like access doors. The respective employee badges are fitted with bar-codes that match with certain accesses in the respective work areas. This certainly needs additional cost in their manufacture, but it is worth risking the expenses for your work premises security.

Take note of their make material. Employee name badges are meant to last as long as the workers are employed in particular workplace. Metallic and plastic devices are good for this consideration. Metals cannot hold much information since they are complex to make and might cost much more compared to plastic cards. Plastic devices are not as durable as metallic one but can be easily customized at a lower price, and lamination can enhance their durability.

Consider their manufacture cost. The design and make material that you choose for your name badges determines their manufacture cost. Therefore, choose plastic cards which can be reused especially by replacing the paper prints when they wear out and a designer with affordable charges to spare your costs.
