The Functions Of Name Tags For Employees

By Dorothy Myers


In modern society, name tags are considered to be very vital tools for marketing. Firms have their workers wearing badges mainly for customer attraction. The ability of parties present in an event to identify one another and converse is a key ingredient in networking. Name tags are of a lot of assistance in this respect. At one point, they were simple tools, but that has since changed because they are now very sophisticated.

Typically, a name tag will contain the name of the wearer. Depending on the audience and the nature of the event, name tags for employees may also contain other pieces of information about the wearer, the event, and the company they represent. These pieces of information include job position, company being represented, and responsibility of the wearer at the event. This way, anyone who needs to converse with the wearer can just look at the badge and know about relevant information about the individual.

These badges only become effective when they are designed properly. Good design can be achieved through using appropriate font size and type. Font types vary in nature, some are easily readable whereas others need the reader to use more effort to be able to read them. At the same time, small fonts may be completely impossible to read for some people.

Among the easiest to design and cheapest to buy are the white and black badges. However, there efficiency falls below that of colored tags. Event description, job titles, and company logo are some of the characteristics of multicolored tags. They are much better than white and black ones. Use of multiple colors provides the possibility of using company colors, which makes identification much simpler.

In conferences, badges are usually placed inside plastic sleeves to provide protection against wear and tear that may happen to them. Also, such cards are usually installed with QR codes or barcodes for various purposes such as granting wearers access to various facilities. As such, it is important to ensure that the plastic sleeves in use are capable of allowing the barcodes or QR codes to be scanned without a problem. One should always have this feature tested first.

It is very critical to gauge durability of the material to be used to make the badge. Badges are meant to be used over and over again in numerous occasions. For this reason, it must be ascertained that they can last long enough to serve their purpose. Furthermore, some events take days or even weeks. This makes it necessary that the cards be made of high quality vinyl. Light vinyl can be used if the event in which the card is to used only lasts a single day.

Buying in bulk always helps one to save a lot of money on badges. For example, instead of purchasing just 50 lanyards or cards, one can proceed and buy 500. The unused cards or lanyards may be stored for use in future. Savings achieved from buying in bulk is the main reason for this.

In general, a badge usually measures 4 inches by 3 inches. Some people usually make their badges too small or too large. Very large cards will look awkward while those that are too small will be ineffective at their work.
