Reusable name tags are very affordable and easy to personalize on-site. They are great name tags to have on hand in an organization with a fast growing member population or a company with an ever changing staff.

Each name tag can be customized with your organization name/logo design imprinted on it. An open space on the name badge is left for you to apply a name label at your convenience. Make affordable name labels with your own printer or label maker in the office. Your personalized name tags can be made in no time!

Buy reusable name tags in bulk – it cuts down on the cost and they will all be put to good use at some point. If you have a small and relatively permanent staff, consider our other types of name tags. We offer full color, metal, engraved, and custom shaped name tags.

Making It Personal

As surprising as it may sound, it’s hard to overstate the importance of nametags, whether you choose Metal Name Tags, Plastic Engraved Name Tags, or Full Color Plastic Name Tags. First, name tags allow your customers to interact with your employees on a personal, one-to-one basis. Second, nametags allow customers to distinguish between staff members and other customers, saving them the embarrassment of mistaking another customer for an employee. Third, nametags lend your employees – and by extension, your organization – a sense of accountability; customers aren’t just dealing with a cog in the wheel but rather an individual that they can seek out for immediate or future assistance.

Yet despite all these benefits, it can sometimes be difficult to get your staff to wear name tags. Why? Some find nametags uncomfortable or erroneously believe them to be unprofessional. Others may prefer to introduce themselves, while still others may feel that their customers already recognize and ask for them by name.

If you find that your staff is resistant to the idea of wearing nametags, there are several positive ways that you can approach the situation. Start by including name tags as one small part of a larger set of written guidelines on how your staff should dress, maintain hygiene, and interact with customers. You can have each employee then sign the guidelines to indicate they’ve read them and are comfortable with complying.

Then, discuss the merits of wearing nametags with your staff. Ask them to think of reasons why it might be better for them to wear name tags or how they’ve benefited from wearing name tags in the past. Have them come up with interesting job titles or personal flair that can be added to their nametags. Remind them that name tags are just as effective for managers and supervisors as they are for support staff; it tells your employees – and customers – that every member of your staff is important in their own way.

Finally, you can reward your staff members for wearing their name tags. Give spot prizes when you catch an employee wearing their names tag. Get a “mystery shopper” to visit and give a team award if everyone in your organization is wearing their nametags. Provide your staff with two name tags each, one for them to keep and one to keep at the office, so that your employees will still be able to be identified even if they leave theirs at home.

Whatever initial resistance you may receive from your employees with regard to wearing nametags is sure to evaporate as your customer relations and sales numbers improve!

Name Tags 101: The Basics

I know what you’re thinking. “A blog about name tags!? How much can there be to say about name tags?” But you’d be surprised. In the 23 years that we’ve been in business, we’ve learned a lot about the ins and out of the nametag industry. This blog is a way of sharing that information with you.

Let’s start with the basics – name tag materials. What are name tags made out of? We offer three standard choices: Metal Name Tags, Plastic Engraved Name Tags, and Full Color Plastic Name Tags. Each option has its own appeal.

Our metal name tag, for example, has a brushed finish and is available in gold, silver, bronze, and white. It’s made of light-weight aluminum and has rounded corners. This makes the metal name tag ideal for office or corporate settings, where style is of the utmost importance.

Our plastic engraved name tag, on the other hand, is perfect for more casual situations and comes in a greater variety of shapes and sizes. Its two-color finish can even be given a brushed gold or silver look for added gravitas.

Last but not least is our full color plastic name tag, which – like the plastic engraved name tag – can easily be custom shaped. But instead of using just a surface and a core color, the name tag is digitally imprinted with your full color logo, giving it a vibrant attractiveness for the same cost as a 12 color badge!

Regardless of which nametag you choose, however, you can be sure you’ll receive a high-quality product made of only the finest materials. And each member of our team is personally responsible for ensuring that your order is completed correctly and delivered on time – every time.
