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.

Multiple high-quality name tags with names and logos to help your company in finding quality identification.

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.
W. Edwards Deming, author of Out of the Crisis

Small Business Holiday Identification

Shop Small Business Saturday

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.

Since its inception in 2010, the Shop Small Movement has grown rapidly. Many small, community retailers and other businesses participate in the sales involved on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to promote buying locally. And, with more than half of every dollar spent staying in the community where you are making your purchase, the small business owner is becoming more and more significant.

So, how does a small business owner keep up to date with that tradition? Here are three of our products that will aid any small (or large) business during their holiday endeavors.

Custom Graphic Signs

using graphic signs for a small business is a great way to keep your customers informed

Keeping consistent with a brand should be important to any small business owner. And, with these custom graphic signs, adding logos and text is simple. Post your hours of operation on the front door and feature your business logo next to them. Or, let your customers know which door they need to be entering through.

Another great way to use custom signage throughout your business is by labeling your departments. From shoes and cosmetics to fishing gear and outdoor wear, these signs will make sure that all of your customers know where to go to find just what they are looking for.

And, adding a holiday message to a sign anywhere in your business is sure to bring everyone a smile. Whether it’s a simple holiday movie quote or something a bit more involved with a graphic, keep your imagination going with these versatile tools.

Digitally Printed Plastic Name Tags

use a digitally printed name tag for a small business calling card

From using hashtags on social media promotions to advertising in your store or office, every small business owner understands the importance of getting their company name out there. And, name tags are here to do just that. By adding your logo and an employee’s name to every name tag, your customers get to know your brand even better.

Even we use name tags for reasons other than employee or volunteer identification. They are, after all, identification tools! Our ribbon shelves are labeled with small name tags featuring ribbon colors and sizes. It’s just one more way to stay efficient and get the job done well just for you. So, take a page from our book and use your name tags for labeling.

Another page from our book is to use a printed name tag like a business or calling card. While we created our calling card as a sample to give to our customers, a small business owner might consider using name tags as a calling card that will leave an impression.

Custom Text Ribbons

use custom text badge ribbons for to/from tags on small business gifts

Give your customers an interactive experience at your holiday events with unique giveaways, handouts and gift tags. Custom text ribbons are the perfect solution to event raffles as you can add any text you need on either a vertical or horizontal badge ribbon. Then, attach it anywhere you need to with either a pin or double sided tape. They also make great gift tags with a simple to/from imprinted on your ribbon color choice. Then, all you need to do is add a handwritten name.

Or, add information about any sales or promotions your business is having during the holidays. Give these to customers before your sale starts to bring back more people. And, with such a unique tool, your promotion is sure to be remembered. You can also attach the ribbons to your employee’s name tags to help promote any sale or other store events.

Use these ribbons as a great way to say hello or thank you! Custom ribbons are a great way to let people know your contact information or to send a quick holiday greeting. Your only limit to these identification tools is the size of the ribbon.

Other Ribbon Uses for a Small Business

Scouting, a School Drumline and Name Plates

Scouting, a School Drumline and Name Plates

Giving back to our community is good for business. It’s a great way to get exposure for a company and to promote products or services. But, giving back isn’t about what you get in return, it’s about who you are helping.

Here at Coller Industries, we understand that when we are helping those in our community, the best thing we get back is that feeling of knowing you helped someone. Investing in the community by donating our products is one of our best forms of marketing. But again, it isn’t just about the marketing possibilities, it’s about the people. Even when the need is small, like for a BSA Eagle Scout project, it’s still important to us.

So, here’s our shout-out to Matt Pellegrini and what he’s doing in his community.

Coller Industries: Tell us about your project. What is the main goal?

Mr. Pellegrini: “The main goal of my project is to help the Enfield High School Drumline, which I am a part of. I have built a large shelf system for the drumline to store drums, cases, stands and harnesses. Right now, in the area where we will be placing the shelf, the drumline has all the drums inside their respective cases on the floor. It is very disorganized, and with the cases laying on the floor it takes up a lot of space. This shelf will keep everything that the drumline needs off the floor and organized.”

Coller Industries: How will the name plate donation help your project?

Mr. Pellegrini: “I am looking to have name plates and metal wall mounts donated to go on the shelf. These name plates will show the drummers where they can store their drums. This donation will help because I have only raised roughly $1,500 through family and friends donating to the project. Any additional donation or discount is appreciated.

“This project is an Eagle Scout project which, if you didn’t know, is the last step in a Boy Scout’s journey through the BSA Scouting program. I am a part of the school’s drumline and know that our music department doesn’t have enough money to buy a shelf along with sending us to several competitions every year. So, I thought this would be the perfect project!

“I am a senior at Enfield High School, and I feel this something I can do for the school along with leaving a little piece of myself behind after I graduate this spring.”

Plastic Name Plates with a UV Color Logo

Your logo will stand out when it is printed in UV color on a plastic name plate. This high-quality printing method recreates your logo with all its colors, photographic images, shades and blending. All names and titles are engraved to show the underlying color of the two-tone plastic. These plastic name plates are also available in a large variety of colors.

Creating Community Understanding

Understanding the community concept teaches that no matter the setting, there are things which must be done to keep it healthy. These insights are supported and managed by people feeling that they belong somewhere. And this comes with accepting each other and the diversity of those around you. This community understanding makes us responsible for those around us. In turn, this community responsibility not only aids those in need, but it assists everyone influenced by any actions in that community.

Donations are one way that makes us more responsible in our community. And, building trust in our community is not only a requirement but also the best way to maintain any community. This is why we, as a company, are always looking to help out in our neighborhood and surrounding areas.

“Thank you again for your donation! The project came out great and your company’s labels added substantially to the final product!” said Matt Pellegrini.

10 Logo Tips for Name Tags

What makes a good logo? And how do you use it in your company branding?

What makes a good logo? And how do you use it in your company branding? Many customers struggle with their company’s branding when making their name tags. A logo designed for use on the internet or printed media doesn’t typically look as well when you try to fit it onto a name tag.

Consider these few things assuming you already decided to use your company logo on your name tags.

What process will you be using to create them? A full color printed name tag can hold more colors and detail than a hot stamped one. Laser Engraving will limit possibilities even further.

Keep the size of the tag in mind. In most cases, logos will be much smaller than what you usually see, and little details won’t be as visible.

Remember that you may have to be flexible in the colors associated with logos. If you choose a yellow tag and your logo is yellow, consider changing it to black, so it shows up. If you select a hot stamped logo, colors are very limited. You may have to compromise with a basic shade of your colors.

When placing a logo to fill the allowable area on a name tag, the smaller the logo, the larger it can be.

When placing a logo to fill the allowable area on a name tag, the smaller the logo, the larger it can be. Consider using one or the other for logos that incorporate an image and text.

Remember that a name tag’s primary purpose is to convey a person’s name. So don’t make the names harder to read in favor of a bigger, fancier logo.

There are additional ways you can help logos look their best on name tags:

Try to limit the amount of detail in logos. Smaller sizes will not be visible. And many processes will have a hard time duplicating it. But, on the other hand, you only need enough detail to make logos recognizable.

Even if you generally use logos on the internet or printed materials, single color logos are best for name tags. Laser engraving and one color hot stamping need an image that is black and white. You can convert most logos into a single color image. But some will require extra effort to maintain the visibility of all logo elements.

Short and wide logos, such as a company name spelled out in fancy lettering, generally look best at the top or bottom center of the tag. Logos that are square or taller than they are wide will occasionally look good on the left or right side.

adding logos to custom shaped name tags

Another option you can consider to make your logo look its best on your name tag is to try a custom shape. Design your name tag with a shape that follows your logo, with an extra area to hold names and titles. Custom shapes are only available for laser engraved or hot stamped logos, but they can make any name tag stand out!

Hopefully, these tips can help you design your company name tags. In addition, they should give you a big forward step on the road to brand recognition!
