personalization - Influencing Identity

Introducing: Conference Name Tags

New products are always an exciting time here in our office. Whether it is name tags, name plates or any other personal identification, we are always trying to keep up to date on our customer’s needs and possible want lists. Part of this process is to also keep up with the trends in the personalized identification business.

This month we would like to introduce you to CONFERENCE NAME TAGS!

Conference Name Tags are a great solution for any meeting planner’s need for inexpensive name badges. Instead of spending time printing inserts and stuffing vinyl name badge holders, we print attendees names on custom laminated badges. An experienced designer will work with you to design a custom badge.

And as always, we will maintain your layout and order information to make it easy to order name tags for your next meeting, seminar or conference.

Event Identification

Between conventions and conferences, the last thing you need to worry about is personal identification. While adhesive name badges are super easy to deal with, they can also be informal. And sometimes traditional name tags are just a bit too much, and possibly too expensive. While we have many choices to meet every need, this new product provides even further options.

Each conference tag is printed on a heavy card stock for durability and then sealed with lamination. This makes all the name tags have a professional, finished look. These name tags have three available sizes and the larger two have a choice or horizontal or vertical orientations.

Conference name tags come with several fastener choices. Much like other name tags, use magnetic fasteners, swivel bulldog clips or even pins. Try having a hole punched in the top of larger tags and hang them on lanyards.

2.25x3.5 inch Conference Name Tags — 2.25×3.5 inches

3x4 inch Conference Name Tags — 3×4 inches

1.25x3 inch Conference Name Tags — 1.25×3 inches

Every detail you need…

With a low minimum order quantity at 10, Conference Name Tags are affordable and easy to order. And, as with most of our products, we offer quantity discounts on each size to make these name tags even more affordable for your events.

Add logos, graphics and text to each name tag. Remember that branding at conferences is important for any company or organization. When an event is well organized and branded, it essentially guarantees a good impression. Your event’s first impression is sure to leave a lasting impact on attendees. Whether your conference is big or small, the overall attendee experience needs to be good enough for them to want to come back the next time.

No matter your choice for conference, convention or event name tags, make sure to find something that truly meets your needs. Conference name tags are a perfect solution to meet any need and still provide professionalism.

Conference Name Tags are printed in full color, and come in three sizes.

6 Ways To Personalize Name Tags

Several examples of personalized name tags.

From logos to engraved text, personalize name tags to match any business.

Personalize Names

While this may seem like a trivial thing to bring up, names are an important feature on name tags. Putting someone’s name on a tag or badge does raise a couple of quick questions. Should you put on the person’s full name (first and last) or simply the first name? What about placement? Whatever you decide, make sure it fits properly and is large enough to be seen.

Personalize Titles and Company Names

Not all name tags have a title or company name on them. Sometimes, people settle for just a logo instead of a company’s name. And those titles can be a bit pesky if they don’t fit right on the size of name tag chosen. Whichever you decide to use, make sure it fits properly in the space provided.

Personalize with Logos and Graphics

From bright colors to a simple engraved one, all logos look great on name tags. Just like logos, graphics can be perfection on the right name tag. When opting to use graphics, make sure you choose the appropriate name tag for the job such as the full color logo option.

As name tags are meant to identify an individual, we would like to add that when creating a name tag, take into consideration if it will be worn with or without a uniform. No sense in the overkill of the use of a logo.

Pictures

Not many people have their picture on a name tag. However, our photo identification cards are great for that special security measure. Had names, titles, pictures and more to these great personal identification products. Photos are a great way to get all relevant information and identifiers onto a badge for all employees.

Durability

This actually may need to be the first thing to tackle when choosing a name tag. Do you need something for a one time use, such as adhesive name badges? Or do you need something that is going to last a long time, such as metal or plastic laser engraved name tags? Making sure to select the correct material is key to getting the right name tag.

Color Choices

6 Ways To Personalize Name Tags color and choice of material

Why yes, this is an issue for a lot of companies. Don’t sell yourself short on this angle of making your name tag truly unique. You might think the person’s name and a company logo are it for branding, but what about a complimenting color? Or does your company actually have a branding color? Make sure to pick a color that matches your needs.

Name Tag Deficiency Syndrome (NTDS)

Is there really a condition called Emblema Nomenpenia (Name Tag Deficiency Syndrome)?

You better believe it.

Fact or Fiction: Emblema Nomenpenia (Name Tag Deficiency Syndrome) with three name tags with silly names.

Please know that Emblema Nomenpenia impacts everyone.

“Over a half of a million people suffer every year from Emblema Nomenpenia, more commonly known as Name Tag Deficiency Syndrome (NTDS),” said Scott Ginsberg, The Nametag Guy.

“This debilitating condition has run rampant through the American business community for many decades, experts say, although only recently has it been classified,” explained Ginsberg.

The first thing to do is to check for any of the symptoms.

You may experience localized font shrinkage, inflammation of the company logo, noticeable eye irritation due to cluttered texts, absence of upper chest name tag placement and mild conversational uncertainty and frustration.

Other symptoms may include adhesive residue. Holes in the same spot on all of your shirts. Weird looks from other people as if they can’t see where your name tag is. Fidgeting with a lanyard to make sure your credentials are visible. And the list goes on.

Second, beware of the possible side effects.

Beware of sudden, severe attacks of name forgetting. There is also a possibility of networking anxiety and unapproachable behavior. You may experience missed opportunities to make new friends or business contacts. And it may even cause feelings of annoyance due to the inability to say hello to a new member or employee whose name you cannot read because their name tag is turned backward.

Other side effects of NTDS can include embarrassment from a poorly located or illegible name badge. Awkward gazes at your figure from others. And not being recognized for who you are.

While NTDS is completely “made up,” the side effects are serious! However, this disease is easily treatable and completely curable!

Don’t panic! The last thing to do is to remain calm; you can fix this!

The cure? Wearing your name tag correctly!

Kris Hay, Communications Coordinator at the University of Puget Sound, offers her advice:

When it comes to networking, a name tag is a necessity. Anonymity is not to your advantage in these situations. Worn properly, a legible name tag helps people remember your name and then quickly move on to exchanging information with you.

A poorly located, illegible or absent name tag can cause consternation and even embarrassment. A name tag should make it easy for people to meet and greet you without having to gaze at body parts other than your face. Wearing your name tag correctly demonstrates your etiquette and networking savvy.

Set yourself apart from those around you and become more approachable by wearing a name tag. Many companies use name tags on a daily basis to help customers and consumers identify employees and staff. The primary usage of wearing a name tag is to provide a distinguishing feature to the wearer.

It’s all about friendliness and identity. By branding and personalizing yourself with a name tag, you are helping those around you to remember who you are.

The Functionality of Name Plates In The Work Place

Many people need to work to make a living, and many jobs require personal identification. This can be as simple as wearing a name tag. In office settings, a name plate is often the most effective way to identify employees. This is because the primary function of a name plate is to inform viewers of a person’s name and title.

The Purpose of Name Plates

While it is a seemingly simple function, name plates play a critical role in workplace communication. And, each plate is typically designed with both the employee and employer in mind. When colleagues and clients can easily identify who they are interacting with, it creates a sense of belonging and respect.

Enhance any professional environment by clearly defining roles and responsibilities by using name plates. This is especially important in larger organizations where many employees work closely together. A name plate provides instant recognition, reducing the need for awkward introductions and enabling smoother interactions.

Consistency in Design

Many companies use a consistent style for identification to enhance their branding. By matching the color, font and design of every name plate, they create a cohesive look. This shows attention to detail and leaves a positive impression on clients and visitors. The functionality of name plates plays a key role in achieving this.

While some companies want a standard template design, others may want to create custom designs that include their company logo or color schemes. This customization allows a business to align their identification with a corporate identity and still provide individuality.

Flexibility and Functionality of Name Plates

Name plates are typically mounted on doors, walls or cubicles. The mounting method can significantly impact the professional appearance of the office space.

Name plates function better with a quality holder like these wall mounts, desk stand and even cubicle holders.

Common mounting options include:

Desk Holders: Allows name plates to sit directly on an employee’s desk, making them easily visible to anyone approaching.
Wall Mounts: Fastened to walls or doors using screws or double sided tape to quickly present offices and other spaces professionally.
Cubicle Hangers: Easily attach name plates to office cubicles without the need for screws by using double sided tape or simple tension.
Velcro or Magnetic Tape: These alternatives offer additional flexibility for easy adjustments and repositioning of name plates, accommodating any office layout or personnel changes.

Enhance Your Professionalism

Name plates do more than identify individuals; they enhance communication, professionalism and branding. With various mounting and customization options, choose a name plate that meets your business needs. Prioritize communication and strong branding by utilizing the functionality of name plates in any office setting.

Fun Ways to Say Thank You with Name Tags

Saying “thank you” to someone could be considered the most powerful two words in any language. There isn’t a single person in the world who does not appreciate hearing these two little words. They serve as a simple expression of appreciation, respect, and courtesy. In fact, if people were to say it more often to each other, we would all have a better sense of well being. Why not use it more frequently? And why is it so important?

Thank you in multiple fonts and languages

There are many things to be thankful for. Good service that you received while at a restaurant. A thoughtful gift from a friend at a time that you were feeling a bit down. Having someone respect a simple request such as not spoiling the end of a movie.

While it is easy to remember to say thank you for many things, especially in the moment they occur, it can be harder to do so for the little things. Sometimes those small moments of gratitude are the easiest to forget. Expressing appreciation and saying thank you doesn’t have to be hard.

Pay attention to the number of times you say thank you in a day and keep trying to up that number. By the end of just one week, you will be well on your way toward developing a great habit. This new habit will fill your life with many wonderful things.

Saying “Thank You” in 3 Exciting Ways

Whether it is a job well done or for a friend who has been there through the thick and thin, sometimes a thank you needs a little bit more. And, sometimes saying thank you and name tags go hand in hand!

Name tags don’t just have to be for names. They are so much more than that!

Engrave a new name tag with someone’s favorite thing. Make each name tag unique with an image or logo of someone’s favorite animal, outdoor activity, hobby or food. Give your best friend a new title such as “Greatest Friend Ever” or “Best BFF.” Choose their favorite color from the wide variety of plastic and metal materials. Make your thank you just as unique as the recipient. Or, order a bunch of name tags with a simple engraved message expressing your appreciation. Then give them out to your friends, family or coworkers.

Sometimes just saying the words doesn’t feel like it’s enough.

Try a name plate with a custom message that you can place on your desk. This helps to remind the people around you at work or at home that they are appreciated in your life. Make your appreciation memorable with a personalized desk wedge. Each wedge can feature a special message for someone special. Choose from our unique desk wedges and acrylic blocks to find something that will suit anyone.
