Essential Thoughts About Custom Plastic Name Tags

By Rebecca Barnes


Tags are important in a company for easier identification and relationship among workers and the respective customers. Even so, there are some aspects that one should take into considerations to ensure that they serve their purpose well. Here are a few critical considerations about custom plastic name tags that one should bear in mind.

Beware of the information displayed in the tags. The information that one opts to display in the respective name labels is supposed to be elaborate to the reader. For that reason, one should consider putting information that defines the holder to the respective clients or acquaintances. Including a person picture on display make them more relevant.

Beware of their size. The size of a badge defines its capacity to be identified from far. Choose a size that can be able to accommodate all the information needed to be displayed in it in a fairly large font and is not big enough to make its carrier uncomfortable wearing it. To avoid making overly large identifiers, one can choose different shapes to represent the different position that their carrier is holding in a company.

Decide on a relevant color. One can identify a badge from far depending on the selected color. In this case, you should choose a color that matches with your staff uniform and is visible at the same time. Dark colors are always disregarded in this case since the prints on the identifier cannot be seen. Therefore, while choosing your color, make sure that it does not shadow the color of their prints and are visible as well.

Check on their placement. Tags that are meant to be pinned on the employee uniform are usually placed at the upper left part of the carrier chest. Some might find them uncomfortable opting for hang tags. The labels should be placed at a position place where they can be seen from far, and the holder does not feel uncomfortable when the reader is trying to read them out.

Consider using the badges for other purposes other than identification. There are companies which use advanced security systems like access doors. The respective employee badges are fitted with bar-codes that match with certain accesses in the respective work areas. This certainly needs additional cost in their manufacture, but it is worth risking the expenses for your work premises security.

Take note of their make material. Employee name badges are meant to last as long as the workers are employed in particular workplace. Metallic and plastic devices are good for this consideration. Metals cannot hold much information since they are complex to make and might cost much more compared to plastic cards. Plastic devices are not as durable as metallic one but can be easily customized at a lower price, and lamination can enhance their durability.

Be cautious of their making costs. Custom tags production can cost a fortune depending on your choice of design and make the material. Therefore, it is recommendable to choose reusable materials like plastic cards fitted with a printed paper which can be replaced when they wear out.
