Do You Need Reusable Name Badges?

Reusable name tags are not for everyone, but for businesses with large turnover, reusable badges can be a huge money saver. You don’t give up any design options, and you can still get a boost for your branding efforts by including your company’s full-color logo. The main difference is that the employee or staff member’s name isn’t engraved on the badge. Within the reusable name badge styles, you can choose an option that works best for you.

  • Reusable plastic or metal name tags with your logo
  • Reusable window name badges
  • Reusable metal name tags with clear covers
  • Chalkboard reusable write-on name badges
  • Custom-shaped reusable name tags

Reusable name tags are also a great option for visitor badges or seasonal employees.


Event and Conference Name Badges

The photo ID name badge is a great option for events and schools. Using photo identification can add an extra layer of security in educational settings, amusement parks, and events. A photo ID ensures areas that are limited access remain limited to those you want to grant access to. Event coordinators can ensure that only registered attendees are allowed access to event areas.


Business Name Badges in General

If you are looking for general business name tags, you can’t go wrong with a non-nonsense engraved plastic or metal name badge. You can include identifiers such as your company logo and any other information you’d like to convey to customers, clients, or visitors. You can also choose to create a custom-shaped name tag, which is common for dental offices, real estate professionals, restaurants, and many other industries.


When you start looking at name tags, you’ll want to take a look at some of the most popular options available. But don’t overlook some extra creative, eco-friendly choices like wooden name badges.


Plastic Name Badges

Engraved plastic name tags are one of the most popular choices among business leaders. They provide a professional look, and you can choose a 2-color scheme, a color for the surface, and a color for the core. Include your full-color logo, and you’ve got a stellar name badge that is uniquely yours and represents your business well. 


Metal Name Tags

You can’t go wrong with metal name badges. They provide style and elegance all rolled up together. Most metal name tags are digitally printed and can include colors to match your brand. You can step up a bit and go for a bling name tag or choose a framed executive metal name badge. Metal name badges are unmatched when it comes to appearance and durability. 


Full-color Logo Name Badges

Most name tag styles work with a full-color logo. Plastic, metal, custom-shaped, and reusable name badges can be a small but powerful tool you can leverage for its branding power. You have options when it comes to your logo’s design. You can include a single-color logo or up to 10 colors in your logo. 


Wooden Name Badges

Wooden name tags are great if you want your brand to reflect a warm, outdoorsy, or rustic feel. You still have the option of using a custom-shaped engraved wood name tag. The wood provides a unique, classic, and professional look that is unmatched. Engrave your employee or staff member’s names on a wood name tag for a unique, eco-friendly appeal.


Choose Your Backing

Along with your name badge’s style, you’ll need to choose a backing. The traditional pin backing is suitable for many environments. Magnetic backings are a popular choice for office spaces and more professional settings since they are easier on clothing and won’t cause damage.
