8 Easy Tips for Designing a Custom name Tag

Check out these 8 easy tips for designing the perfect name tags

Tip 1: Create a Design that Speaks for You

When you see a common brand, you notice the design. Think of companies that are household names like McDonald’s or Chic-fil-A. As soon as you see their logo, you associate it with an experience you had at their restaurant. The graphics used in their logo draw your eyes toward it. Pick a design for your name tags that invite people to you. If you already have a company logo, it can easily be incorporated into your name tag design.

Tip 2: Choose the Right Size

You may not think size matters, but it does. You want a good size that looks good on your employees. If it’s too bulky or too small, it can get a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons. It needs to be easily seen by guests, patrons, or attendees. There are lots of sizes available, and you can also choose a custom size that suits your brand and design.

Tip 3: Choosing the Right Name Tag Font

There are tons of fonts to choose from, and finding the right size of font. It shouldn’t strain the eyes of the reader. The font can be stylish, but make sure it doesn’t affect readability. Some of the common fonts include:

• Arial
• Calibri
• Times New Roman
• Verdana

Tip 4: Find the Right Balance of Details

You want the name tag to provide proper identification for the wearer. It’s important to find the right balance. You may want to add job titles or other details to make networking and socializing easier at events. This information is useful for business name tags too as it helps build rapport with customers. Your patrons can more easily find someone who can help them when they need it. Guard against trying to put too much information on the name tags as you want it to be useful without being cluttered.

Tip 5: Choosing a Color Scheme

At Name Tag Pros, you can choose just about any colors you can imagine for your name badges. If you want to include a full-color logo in the design, match the font and background colors accordingly. You’ll want to make sure the colors you use blend well together and are cohesive with your brand or logo.

Tip 6: Choose the Badge Material

The most popular choices for name badge materials are plastic and metal. But you can choose to go with environmentally friendly wooden name tags too. If money is a concern, plastic is usually the most economic choice. 

Tip 7: Calculate How Many You Need

Each setting will be different and have varying needs. You’ll want to order just the number you need. You also have the option of ordering reusable name tags if they would work better for your purposes. 

Tip 8: Bring Unity

A name badge has a unifying quality, much like a basketball jersey or uniform. It can unite your workers or attendees by helping them feel like they are part of something bigger. Whether you are looking to bring a crowd together for an event, have a team serving others, or leading, name tags help unite. Name badges help everyone feel like they are working toward the same goal.
