Getting Parents Involved in Education

With a new school year approaching, teachers, students and even parents are getting prepared. Back to school preparation involves various tasks, including getting name tags for your school. From photo IDs for teachers to reusable badges for parent volunteers, these products will help any school run more smoothly. Here are some great resources that we offer that will help improve any educational experience.

When students and staff wear name tags, it becomes easier for them to start up conversations and build connections. Name tags act as quick and friendly introductions and they break down any barriers that occur when new people meet. This creates a warmer and more inclusive atmosphere. By seeing each other’s names, everyone at school can address each other personally. This simple act will create better social interactions and help to promote a sense of belonging among scholars.

While name tags may seem like a small detail, their impact is far reaching. From breaking the ice and opening lines of communication to providing a safe environment and promoting school spirit, name tags create inclusive and supportive environments. By using name tags in schools, everyone can embrace the power of personal connection and help lay the foundation for a more connected education.

How can name tags help parents in a classroom setting?

Name tags are perfect for anyone who frequently volunteers in your school. Use Conference Name Tags and customize them to show who belongs. Security is one of the most important parts of any school setting. These name tags will show who is volunteering so that teachers, students and staff know who they can rely on. You can even add your school’s name, colors and mascot to these badges, so you can make sure that they stay in your building.

Promote a sense of familiarity and encourage open communication channels with new name tags. They eliminate the awkwardness of not knowing someone’s name and facilitate communication, which makes it easier for people to ask for help and engage in meaningful discussions. Whether it’s a student seeking help from a teacher or peers working together on a project, teamwork begins by being able to address each other by name.

Another use for these unique tags is for student identification. Most teachers have so many students that it is hard to remember everyone’s names. Name tags are great helpers that make remembering names easier. Students will love the personalization and knowing there is a specific space just for them. Using these tags can also help students while they get to know each other.

Why should parents customize ribbons for their students?

Any student will consider themselves lucky to get a ribbon customized with them in mind. Customize these ribbons with bright themes and vivid colors; they are great for every student achievement. So, show your approval of a student’s work with these fun, full color ribbons. Or help students feel more confident about themselves as they work through the new school year.

A great place to use these ribbons is at sporting events. Does your school have a field day coming up or a rally for back to school night, and needs awards for all the participants? Honor every student participating with a special ribbon printed with their achievement or other titles.

Another quick use for these wonderful, colorful ribbons is to give them as a bookmark. Have them printed with a saying and an image to make them really special. Give them at a back to school night or award them in class.

The Power of Identification in Schools

From helping to make connections to creating inclusion, name tags and custom products will make everyone feel like they belong and help them to work together.

Badge Ribbons, Photo ID Badges, Lanyards and Volunteer name tags can all be used by students, staff, teachers and parents in any school setting.

Custom Badge Ribbons

Quickly identify students on the first day of school with customized ribbons. Design your ribbons with room numbers and teachers’ names to help students feel like they belong. They are super easy to use, especially with double sided tape that is ready to stick to anything.

Photo IDs with Matching Lanyards

Giving teachers and other staff photo identification enhances your school’s safety. Use them with matching lanyards to provide easy visual identification for those who belong within the school. This also makes it easier to quickly identify any outsiders that may come into the school, including volunteers and parents.

Engraved Name Tags

Provide identification for parent volunteers from the moment they walk into your school to the moment they walk out. These easy to use name tags will help students and staff know who they can turn to and that there are parents who are working to be involved in their student’s education. You can also promote school spirit by incorporating school colors on your name tags.

  • 33% of employees believe fostering a collaborative culture leads to increased loyalty.

The warm season presents an excellent opportunity for business teams to organize fun corporate event ideas that can significantly impact workplace culture and boost overall team performance. We’ll delve into why summer is ideal for such events and how businesses can make the most of them to create a positive and engaging work environment with these summer ideas.

Food Events

BBQs, picnics and cook offs are significant events to plan for your business this summer. Food brings colleagues together for a fun time. What’s great about food is that there are so many different types of food worldwide. Try having everyone bring food from their culture and have a cultural potluck.

Ice cream and frozen yogurt are especially great for the summertime. Or if desserts aren’t your thing, then a simple watermelon or pineapple works wonders for cooling off. They’re a sweet treat for those who want to chill out in the sun.

Games

Games are a fun way to boost team morale. There are so many types of games to choose from. From sports to board games, there are many ways for your team to bond. Board games are better for everyone as more people should be able to play. Mini golf is always fun because it’s not a strenuous activity and people of all ages can enjoy it.

Make things even more fun by dividing up teams with unique team badges. Team events and games help build stronger bonds and relationships with your colleagues.

A Vantage Circle article titled “10 Reasons Highlighting the Importance of Team Building” describes some of the many benefits of team building exercises. CEO of Skuuudle, James Rehm, said, “Turning tasks into competition can increase motivation and productivity. Team building exercises foster healthy competition, improves teamwork, problem solving, communication and other skills. These activities provide opportunities for employees to interact and learn from other teams.”

Volunteering and Charity Events

Charity events are a great way to work together for a bigger purpose. You’ll want to research volunteering opportunities near you so you can plan accordingly. You can also run your charity event from your company to raise money for a good cause. Volunteering allows you and your colleagues to feel more connected to the community.

We develop a higher purpose when we volunteer our time and efforts. This also lets your company wear fun and memorable name tags or badges for each volunteer.

Fairs, Festivals and Concerts

Summer is the perfect time to attend fairs, festivals and concerts. Look into events in your area so your company can coordinate schedules. You could talk to your managers to see if they could cover ticket fees or have discounts on tickets. Once you’ve planned your summer event, your company could provide sponsored lanyards or photo ID badges so their guests know how special the event is.

More Events

Other events you could plan for summer fun include hiking, movie nights or winery/beer garden trips. Plan these events based on what your colleagues are interested in. You want to ensure these activities are enjoyable and uplifting for all participating.


With the arrival of summer, businesses have a chance to not only plan events to increase employee engagement and improve team morale but also to break away from traditional corporate routines and embrace the warmth and energy of the season. As the days grow longer, companies can host outdoor activities that encourage teamwork, build camaraderie and show appreciation for their employees. By incorporating fun summer corporate event ideas, businesses can increase productivity and foster a corporate culture that values its most important asset- employees.

They are goals for ourselves and those around us. So, get started with steps to create a new you by revamping the office with new name tags, name plates and badge ribbons.

Our products go well in conferences, award ceremonies or just your day at work. We strive to keep our customers coming back for more.

create a new you

Here’s how to create a new you with new and improved name tags and name plates.

You may have a name tag you have worn for years, so it’s time for an upgrade. Why consider a new name tag? First, name tags allow employees to display who they are and work for. Second, they break the ice when networking, so talking to others is even easier. Third, it gives customers a sense of security knowing they are working with professionals. Finally, it helps communicate that we are here for a reason: to help our customers with whatever they need.

Imagine wearing a name tag that you personalized yourself. Your new name tag could have the font and colors you choose to help you stand out. You can also wear a photo ID with a picture of you that you’re proud of.

PRO TIP: You can choose how you want to wear your name tag with our selection of fasteners.

We have reusable name tags to be reused for future use. In addition, we have display racks to display a conference’s worth of name tags in a neat and organized fashion. Display racks are essential for conference meetings so that everyone can find their name tag quickly and easily.

If your business has a logo, you can put it on one of our custom products. We will work with you to make sure you are happy with your order. Our experienced design department will devise concepts you can give input on and complete with total customer satisfaction.

It’s typical for employees to have their area of refuge, i.e., their desks. Employees decorate their desks to make their space more personalized and comfortable. The same applies to name plates. We have name plates for your desk that are fully customizable. We help liven up your old name tags and name plates for a personable look.

Name Plates are to Desks as Bows are to Gifts

Name plates can provide a person’s name, title and corporation. A personalized name plate shows that you are an industry professional who is proud of who you are. A name plate that includes job titles displays the employee’s purpose. A professional looking name plate would perfect the professional looking desk you’ve been needing. And, you won’t even have to wait for Christmas.

Like our name tags, our name plates come with several ways to customize them. They come in different materials, colors, fonts, font colors, logos and more. Name plates are neat because they can either sit on top of a desk or hang on a cubicle wall. We have several name plate holders, such as the classic holder. They come out with such high quality that just a glimpse is all you need to know that you are an industry professional.

Don’t forget the ribbons!

They can be customized to how you want them. We have stock badge ribbons representing various positions for a great deal. Custom text badge ribbons assist you in marketing a company, advertising, or decorating name tags.

Your everyday name tag may be dull and outdated, so liven things up by upgrading your boring name tag with a brand new one. Customize your new name tag into your style. After you create your custom name tag, you can personalize a name plate and badge ribbons to create a new you. They would be the perfect combo for a new you this new year.

Community Sharing for the Holidays

We learn from a young age that sharing is to “partake of, use, experience, occupy or enjoy things and experiences with others.” You can feel a strong sense of belonging when sharing in your community. And when businesses adopt these practices, their business will grow exponentially!

From farmer’s markets to local theater performances, supporting local activities show your interest in your local community. When companies get together as a community, take pride in others’ work and increase their camaraderie, they will discover the true meaning of the holiday spirit.

Did you know…

Every time you pick up a coffee at your local café, grab lunch at the mom-and-pop shop or buy a new bag from a local store, you’re making an impact in your community. In fact, for every dollar spent at a small business in the US, approximately 67 cents stays in the local community.

Community Sharing Events

Events help communities to get together and form a bond. By participating in local activities, businesses can give back to their neighborhoods and create awareness about community needs. These events are also great for meeting new people and finding new customers.

There are many reasons to sponsor a community event. You can improve your neighborhood, raise funds for a local cause or charity and celebrate the local culture. Best of all, you know that everyone will come together to attend. Create your event team from your employees and businesses around you.

Holiday community events are a great place to begin, as they garner even more attention. As with anything that has a holiday theme, sharing is always a central theme.

Identification and Community Sharing

Name badges, customized ribbons and many other products will help you during community events. In addition, they will let you reach out to your neighbors and businesses to let them know who you are and that you are there to help.

Here are three products with ways they will help your community.

ADHESIVE BADGES
Colored adhesive name badges to write names on for a community party.

Use adhesive badges for quick identification at your next community event. Each person writes their name, and the adhesive holds the tags to their clothing. Consider throwing a party for your community businesses where everyone comes together and shares products and services with their neighbor businesses. We should set this up for our neighborhood and share name tags!

BADGE HOLDERS

Community recognition can happen anywhere: school art shows or neighborhood events, so be prepared with quick identification. A low-cost option, badge holders, allow you to print inserts that slide into a plastic sleeve. You can select anything from a deluxe magnetic fastener to lanyards.

BLANK BADGE RIBBONS
Blank badge ribbon in deep gold with a handwritten note for a guest pass at a community sharing event.

Make identification fun with blank badge ribbons as pin-on name tags, or use them for your next block party. Create unique awards and passes with custom imprinted badge ribbons attached to contestants and given to guests.

Holding community events is perfect for promoting positive change in your neighborhood. And there is ample opportunity during your gathering to provide improvement to your community and network with your neighbors. Work on strengthening your community bonds and bringing your community closer together by celebrating your differences.
