Get Together, Share a Laugh and Make Memories

It’s summer; let’s all act like kids! From water fights to family reunions, summer is about having fun and letting go of work and school stressors. There are countless activities to do with your family, friends and neighbors. Relationships are important, so build them in your family, neighborhood and at work, all while getting together to share a laugh.

Using badge holders and badge ribbons at family and neighborhood events.

Spending time with others offers many benefits, including building personal confidence and strengthening bonds. Likewise, family time offers many benefits. These include building trust and creating a stronger emotional bond between family members. You can also improve your communication skills while bettering your performance in school and at work. Summer is about making memories while spending time with those who matter to you.

Badge Holders with Badge Ribbons and How to Share a Laugh

Getting together with family is the best part of summer. This year, use badge holders and ribbons to define your family tree. It never fails, someone at your reunion will show up, and you won’t know how they relate to the family. So, use ribbons and badges to help everyone fit in.

Print each insert with an attendee’s name and attach a badge ribbon with their family surname. You can even color coordinate each family. These ribbons will help everyone know who fits in and where. Now Great Aunt Tabitha won’t have to wonder where you fit into her family tree. All she has to do is check out your ribbon and badge to see.

Blank Badge Ribbons and Getting Together

Make a memory this summer by helping everyone feel welcome with handwritten names on badge ribbons. Then you can use these badge ribbons to designate seating arrangements and more. Or give them to people to wear for a fun version of identification. Finally, everyone can pin one on and get to know each other better.

Blank badge ribbons are also great for game use. These ribbons are versatile, from writing names on them to using them as game pieces and even as designations for titles. Use the different colors for different games or organizations during the festivities. Design your game using badge ribbons and either focus on the colors or write on them with a permanent marker.

Reusable Badge Holders are Perfect for Making Memories

Share a laugh while having a treasure hunt with friends and family, and use badge holders to help with keeping organized. Laughing together helps create fun memories and strengthens bonds within families and neighborhoods.

When your neighborhood plans a get-together, make sure that everyone can participate. When you use identification (like badge holders), you can ensure that everyone will know who is there. Remember to have fun with these printable badges. Add fun things like a treasure map or creative names and titles for game participants.

Countless activities compete for time on the calendar, such as work, school, homework, after-school activities, friends, and more. So, as the summer comes to a close, remember to get together to share a laugh and make some memories with your family and neighbors.

How To Upgrade Your Identification

A company’s brand is what they are, what they want to be and what they aim to become. So make sure you add your logo to everything, starting with your name tags. Then, upgrade your identification by pairing products like name tags and name plates with matching logos. Move on with visitor badges, branded lanyards and even office signs! No matter your choice of identification, we have ways to make it even better.

Over the past 25+ years, you have learned to rely on our high-quality name tags. However, did you know that we offer things that will compliment your name tag purchase? But, no matter which product you start your order with, we guarantee to have something that will go great with any new identification.

We have put together a short list of products that go great together. From name tags to lanyards and even ribbons, let’s get your brand shinning everywhere!

Upgrade Name Tags with Name Plates

Your logo already looks excellent on name tags, so put it on a name plate that matches. It’s simple to upgrade your identification with multiple material colors and printing of your logo. You can literally choose the same material for both name tags and plates so that your office matches your employees. You can also play with complimentary colors to help your logo stand out even more. But, no matter how you decide to upgrade your identification, we have what you need.

PRO TIP: Not only can you brand your name tags, but adding signs helps with branding your office.

Upgrade Photo IDs with Lanyards

These two products go together so well that it just makes sense to get lanyards with photo ID badges. The ability to print any insert for a badge holder is great, and pairing them with lanyards is even greater. No matter your profession, matching lanyards and photo ID badges are the perfect way to keep everyone identified. Not only does the photo identification help increase your security measures, but upgrading with a lanyard ensures instant access to those badges.

Upgrade Badge Ribbons with Badge Holders

Even if you’re not planning an event, pairing badge holders with ribbons is a great way to upgrade your identification. Sometimes all you need to add to your brand is a brightly colored ribbon attached to your name tag.

Even though they are commonly used for title designations at conventions and conferences, badge ribbons are more versatile than you know. They are the perfect tool for advertising sales, promoting events and letting your clientele know about your business.
Add nearly any text and logos to Custom Imprinted Badge Ribbons that help you achieve your business goals. With these custom additions, you can meet all of your company branding and marketing resolutions. Your text can be slogans, logos and so much more!

Using Custom Ribbons to Upgrade Your Identification

Now that you have made your logo stand out on name tags, imagine what other custom ribbons can do for your brand. Use these branded ribbons for product packaging and even employee appreciation gifts. No matter you need, we have a ribbon to help.

Teaching Tools and Personalizing Your Classroom

Learning is more effective and stimulating when you are using teaching tools that are already in front of you. It is up to teachers and other school staff to ensure every student has the tools they need to learn. When students know what tools they have available and how each works, they are more apt to pay attention and, in the long run, learn what they need to succeed.

Personalizing Your Teaching Tools with customized products like engravable signs, name plates and badge holders for identification.

Why are customizable products great for teaching tools?

By customizing our products to meet your school and classroom needs, you can help improve your instruction time. For example, free up time in your schedule by hanging custom signs with simple instructions so they don’t need to be constantly repeated. Use name tags and name plates to show teachers’ names. And even have badges available for parent volunteers. Here are several of our most popular items that teachers use as teaching tools for their classrooms and schools.

Custom Engravable Signs

Use our engravable custom signs in your classroom today. For example, personalize a custom sign to show your classroom schedule. Or have a sign engraved with other classroom instructions. While these signs are a great teaching tool for the classroom, they work just as well for the rest of the school.

Use them for bell schedules, No Running in the Halls signs and even more. Each engraved sign is available in multiple colors on durable plastic material. This means that you can customize the color to match your school decor or even show some school spirit. Add logos, graphics and text to make your message seen.

Personalized Name Plates

From teachers’ desks and doors to the counselor’s office, name plates can be used everywhere in your school. Not only are name plates great for teachers’ names, but they are also great for identifying different classrooms and other areas in the building.

One of the great parts about custom name plates is adding your logo or school mascot next to names. Or you can use icons to designate closets and other rooms throughout the building. They come in the same durable plastic material as custom signs so that you can match everything in your building.

Badge Holders and Lanyards

Step up your security with personalized badge holders and custom lanyards. With a handy photo and your school’s name printed onto replaceable inserts, badge holders just became your best friend. Using these inserts, you can instantly identify teachers, staff and even visitors quickly by printing any information you need and sliding it into a holder.

Then match the lanyard to your badge. By using colored (and maybe custom imprinted with your school logo), you help your staff and visitors keep their identification handy. Lanyards are also perfect for fundraising events, sporting meets and any other time your school gets together.

Personalizing Your School and Using Teaching Tools

From the classroom to the counseling center, we have custom products to make your school run smoothly. Use these great teaching tools to help your teaching and instruction. Do you have other ideas for our custom products? We’d love to hear them!

Here’s a fun idea: when giving out welcome gifts to your students, make sure to wrap them with fun ribbon rolls. Your students are guaranteed a great first impression when handed trinkets with personalized ribbons wrapped around them. And, maybe they will even behave a bit better as a way of saying thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Finding Quality with Your Name Tag Experts

Your business is more likely to succeed when you focus and commit to a high quality image and business model. The message to learn from this statement is that no matter the service or product, consistently providing and finding quality must be your primary business focus. And with that knowledge, you can make sure that your business maintains quality throughout your production and practices.

So, where do name tags fit into this? Your name tags reflect your brand’s value and trustworthiness. A name tag also helps create a connection between you and your customer by providing quick identification. As your name tag experts, we offer only the highest quality so that your brand will shine above the rest.

Constancy of purpose means that quality decisions are not situational. End of month quality is the same as the beginning of the month. It means that the long term benefit of the organization is not sacrificed to hit quarterly targets. It means having your eye on the competition, whether it is in your industry or coming from elsewhere, with plans to stay ahead.

Encouraging Summer Fun at Work

Without your employees, where would your company be? Yes, your company is your idea and livelihood. But without your employees, you wouldn’t be able to do what you do. Your team is one of your greatest assets; without them, your company wouldn’t be where it is today.

Keeping employees happy and feeling fulfilled on the job can be hard to manage. And motivation isn’t always easy. But, team happiness spurs productivity. So, ensure you are helping your team in every way possible to feel grateful for their employment. Making summer fun is one way to aid this.

Making Summer Fun for Employees | Influencing Identity by Coller Industries Incorporated

Why is making work fun important?
Fun in the workplace can have a positive impact on employees and their productivity. As a manager, you can create a professional environment that your staff members appreciate. As an employee, you can enjoy working at your organization, and you may feel that your supervisors prioritize your mental health. Making work fun has benefits such as:
Boosting Morale: Employees that have fun in the workplace may be in happier moods, which makes the organizational setting more pleasant.
Avoiding Workplace Burnout: With fun activities, employees can relax from their work responsibilities and prevent overexertion.
Increasing Creativity: Employees can practice their hobbies and expand their interests during workplace fun, which may inspire them to apply creativity to their occupational tasks.
Fostering Closer Relationships with Colleagues: Fun work functions can enable employees to get to know one another personally, which can also improve office morale.
Promoting Collaboration: Employees who enjoy fun activities together may also work well together professionally.

Company Retreats

Your team works hard, so use your company retreat as your chance to kick back and relax. A corporate retreat is a chance for employers to affirm the company’s values and speak more candidly about long-term goals. Take your time now to plan all of the activities. This way, you ensure that every guest has an incredible experience from start to finish.

So, what are corporate retreats? Corporate retreats are company events away from the office that focus on specific goals. Retreats are often weekend trips; however, they may also be single-day events. Plan your retreat to provide a break from work routines and a scheduled time to focus on specific objectives. An effective corporate retreat can lead to a boost in production in the future.

Increased morale
Corporate retreats are opportunities for staff members to pause their normal work routines and have fun together. This can help improve morale within your company. Raising morale is often a goal within companies, as employees typically can produce stronger results when they’re feeling happy and satisfied at work. By scheduling corporate retreats throughout the year to keep morale high, you have the potential to raise production throughout the year as well.

Advancing Together with Identification

Summer fun at a corporate retreat is an excellent way for staff members and management to relax. And your aim should be to facilitate bonding and business planning in a relaxed environment. To do this, ensure that your team, one, feels comfortable around each other, and two, knows one another. Enter name tags and identification!

ADHESIVE NAME BADGES

Don’t forget the name tags! From games to identification for the day, these Adhesive Name Badges will cover all your needs. Name badges are essential to your event’s success as they provide everyone with identification. Whether you are hosting a celebration for a small group of employees or a larger event for colleagues and clients, Adhesive Name Badges are the perfect tool to ensure everyone knows who is in attendance.

SMALL AWARD PLAQUES

Motivating employees to stay on track while at work can often be problematic. So, use these custom plaques to go beyond highlighting someone’s achievement and help them see just how useful they are to your company. And they are perfect for all your summer fun activities.

When employees need a little motivation, a little bit of recognition goes a long way. Congratulate them on a job well done with a unique and meaningful plaque. Giving them that recognition while throwing a fun get-together is also a great way to make them feel appreciated.

RIBBON ROLLS

Personalized ribbons are essential at every event. You’ve used them for decorations, and they are always great when branded for networking. This time, use them to encourage teamwork and have some summer fun at your event. Fashion them into awareness ribbons to celebrate a cause or simply to identify different teams. Choose colors and text that match your needs.

“Retreats have often been perceived as junkets that just let people blow off steam and have fun,” says Edward Sullivan, CEO of the executive coaching company Velocity Group. “But in the age of hybrid work, retreats have gone from ‘nice to have’ to ‘must have.’ They’re critical to the culture-building at a company because it’s the time when we come together and create that connective issue as a team.”
