Name badge: an identifier for employees and a carrier of corporate style
A badge is a card that is attached to clothing or around the neck to identify its wearer. The liner of a badge is usually printed with a person's name, position, company name or logo, and sometimes a photo. Badges facilitate communication at various events where people who do not know each other communicate. Such cards can be used to register participants in trainings and conferences, as well as a pass at enterprises. Badges are worn by employees who constantly interact with customers, such as bank staff, doctors, salespeople, cashiers, tour guides, etc.
What kind of badges to choose?
These plastic or paper rectangles are a kind of business card, their quality and appearance present a person, the level of the company or event. When you need to buy badges in bulk, consider their quality, the expected intensity of use, the required size and type of attachment.
What characteristics to look for:
- Type of attachment - pin, clip or lanyard. The lanyard badge is ideal for conferences, while the pin or clip badge is ideal for permanent use. A new attachment option is the tape measure clip, in which the cord can be pulled out when needed.
- Size and format - choose based on the amount of information and design of the insert. When organising various events, the horizontal version is more often ordered - it allows you to place more elements. For everyday use, vertical badges are more convenient - they are more compact and look neater.
- Plastic density - if temporary use is planned, it can be flexible glossy plastic. For badges that employees need to carry with them every day, it is better to choose hard plastic with a window.
