If you are in charge of choosing or designing name badges for an event, employees, students, or anything else, you may have noticed that you have a lot of choices.

Pin backings may be a bit less expensive than magnetic backings, but their biggest downside is that they poke holds. Name Tag Pros also provides magnetic backings to prevent poking holes in uniforms or other garments.
