Personalize Name Tags with Your Brand

If you want to make a difference, you’re going to have to get past the “Hello, My Name is…” name badge. Using modern design tools, you can make professional-looking name tags that include a full-color logo or your brand. Choose from various materials, sizes, and styles to help build brand awareness. By wearing the business logo on name badges, it adds a touch-point to customers. It’s a great way to cement your brand in their minds.


Personalized Name Tags Delivers Personalized Service

Personalizing name tags help customers and clients relate with staff. Consider putting staff names and positions on the name badges. Being able to recognize staff by name helps customers build an emotional connection right off the bat. If your name tag is large enough, add the staff’s position.


Considerations to Make when Personalizing Name Tags

  • Materials: The most popular materials for name badges are metal and plastic. However, when you personalize name tags, you also have eco-friendly wood name badges as an option. Upscale metal name tags offer a rich look. Both metal and plastic name tags can be engraved or printed with your personalized information and logos. At Name Tag Pros, we also have a wide selection of designs to choose from.
  • Design: When choosing your personalized name tag, you have several options for backers. Both metal and plastic name tags are available with a pin backing or a magnetic backing. Magnetic name badges typically do less damage to clothing.
  • Style: What matches your business culture best? We can help you with custom-shaped name tags based on your industry. These can be made into any shape that relates to the services you offer. You can add a layer of security by selecting Photo ID badges. Or, really make them stand out with a bling name badge.


Where to Start?


The first thing you’ll need to do is set a budget. How much do you want to spend on personalized name tags? We have several very affordable options and can help you get professional-looking name badges that meet your level of professional expectations while staying inside your budget.


Secondly, you’ll want to decide if you want a full-color name badge with a printed logo, brand, or other design. Do you want a custom-shaped name tag that really stands out? You may want to have your name tags printed in full color with the logo and text printed in color. Or you may opt for a basic 2-color engraved name tag.


Thirdly, you will need to decide what type of material and backing you want your name tags to have. Choose the style that works best for your business. If you have a lot of turnover or host numerous events, you may want to try reusable name tags.
