The True Value of Customized Magnetic Name Tags

Whether you choose a magnetic backing or not, custom name badges can provide a lot of value to your company. Here are a few ways a name tag can offer more value.

Building a Solid and Stronger Brand Image

There are a lot of good reasons that so much emphasis is placed on branding. While it can be a bit difficult to quantify the value of a good brand in actual dollars, the effect is still staggering. Think about two giants such as Apple and Coke. Prestige like that comes from an enormous branding effort.

A brand-integrated, full-color logo name badge on your employee uniforms improves your brand visibility. It turns your employees into walking, talking, interactive advertisements for your company. This alone improves the intangible value of a brand.

Enhancing Security in the Workplace

Many people overlook one of the best things about employee name tags. Quality, custom name badges help improve workplace security. Having unique name tags as part of employee uniforms makes it harder to copy them. You can tell at a glance if a person is in any area where they are not supposed to be.

Encouraging Communication and Inclusiveness

Large organizations have a lot of advantages. However, being part of a large team can be intimidating for newly hired employees. When all employees are wearing custom name tags, it helps to break down barriers between departments. It’s easier for employees to strike up conversations and communicate with one another. You are far more likely to initiate a conversation with someone when you know their name. Being able to address coworkers by their names helps breed cooperation and familiarity.

Improving Customer Service

Staff name badges make it easier for customers to identify your employees, and distinguish them from other customers. Being able to address employees by name is helpful for customers and employees. It also makes it more likely that a customer will request help instead of trying to deal with a frustrating circumstance on their own.

Improving Staff Morale and Retention

Providing customized employee uniforms with individualized name badges is one way to help improve employee satisfaction. This is particularly important in industries and settings that deal with turnover. When employees have uniforms and name tags, they feel like they are part of a team, something bigger than themselves. This fosters a sense of pride and belonging which can help improve retention.

Why Choose Magnetic Backings?

We just covered several benefits associated with name tags in general. However, there are some distinct advantages of using custom magnetic name tags.

Protecting Expensive Fabrics

You provide your employees with uniforms; this is a business expense. They may be made with fabrics that are a bit expensive, like silk or wool. Using pin fasteners can poke holes in the uniforms and increase the chance of damaging, fraying, or causing unraveled threads. Magnetic name tags don’t puncture uniform fabric, making them the better option. 

If you don’t provide uniforms but require casual professional attire, magnetic backing helps protect the fabric from becoming damaged.

No Small Parts to Break

Pin fasteners attach securely to any kind of fabric. But they do have small parts that can break or bend. A magnetic name tag fastener uses strong magnets that are free from small parts that can break or fail. With nothing to break, they are more durable than pin fasteners.

Easier for Some Users

Employees who have arthritis or other motor issues may have difficulty manipulating the small parts of a pin fastener on a name tag. A magnetic name tag snaps into place effortlessly. This makes them a lot easier for users who may deal with disabilities or issues with their hands.

Sit Flush with the Uniform

Pin fasteners can hold the name tag securely to uniform fabric. But sometimes, they cause the name badge to sag forward on the uniform. A magnetic name tag will not do this. The magnetic fastener holds the name badge against the uniform so that the name tag doesn’t sag or fall forward.
