Name Badge Styles
Instead of using normal type name badges we can give them a new look, so that employees don’t have to feel ashamed as many of them seems to be, about wearing their name badge as identity.
Typically,
name badges that you can reuse are blank or display your company logo. They can also be made using different materials, from brushed metal and aluminium, plastic PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which is used for credit cards. A plastic badge is normally thick and a thin layer is then applied on top, giving it its colour. Your logo or name can then be applied or printed on top of this, and there are some different methods for doing so.
One particular method is screen printing, in which paints and a transparent layer are then pushed through and absorbed by the surface. Hot stamping involves the logo or text being pressed onto the badge, making use of a heat press. Thermal printing is done with a card machine, and the artwork or text is printed onto the badge colour by colour, then completed by layering a protective film on top of the badge. Your name and position can also be engraved onto the card, either using a laser or a rotary machine.
Plastic name badges nowadays are really quite sturdy, so you can use them as often as you want and they won’t break down easily. Make sure that you ask the manufacturers what kinds of plastic badges they have available and which one is the most durable.
If you’re looking for something that looks a lot more professional or elegant, then it might be a good idea to go with metal name tags. You can have your metal name badges engraved; you will be able to select the right font for them. They will be ideal for hotel and restaurant staff, since metal name badges look elegant and far from casual. Domed name badges can also be a good alternative, since they provide a pretty good look for your badge. The design and text are printed very clearly and the badge itself is topped with an acrylic dome.
You may also want to go with magnetic name badges. Such badges are much better than using ones with pins and clips. The magnet will be able to hold the name badge in place and won’t damage your clothing at all.
