The Functions Of Name Tags For Employees

By Dorothy Myers


Name tags are very important marketing tools in the modern world. Many companies have their employees wearing these badges in order to attract potential customers. Networking in most corporate events highly relies on the ability of the parties in attendance to identify each other and converse. Name tags help a lot with this issue. They were once simple items, but now their level of sophistication has gone up a lot.

Normally, name tags do contain the name of the wearer. However, name tags for employees might also bear additional information regarding the wearer, the company that is represented, and the event. Information included may depend on the audience in attendance and the kind of event. Job position, responsibility of the wearer, and company being represented are some of the other pieces of information included. By including this information, anybody who wants to converse with a wearer can have an easier time because they can read all the information they need to know from the badge.

For these badges to be effective, they need to be designed in the right way. One the ways of achieving good design is by using an appropriate font type and font size. Some font types are easily readable while others require the reader to put in some effort in order to read them. Similarly, font sizes that are too small may be troublesome to read to some people.

White and black badges are very easy to design and cheap to buy. However, they are not as effective as multi-colored ones. Multi-colored badges show various pieces of information such as event description, company logo, and job titles much better than black and white ones. By using multiple colors, it is also possible to make use of company colors, which make identification much easier.

In conferences, badges are usually placed inside plastic sleeves to provide protection against wear and tear that may happen to them. Also, such cards are usually installed with QR codes or barcodes for various purposes such as granting wearers access to various facilities. As such, it is important to ensure that the plastic sleeves in use are capable of allowing the barcodes or QR codes to be scanned without a problem. One should always have this feature tested first.

The durability of the badge material is very important. Since badges are meant to be reused, it is important to ensure that they can last long enough to be used at multiple events. Also, some events usually last for several days or event weeks before they end. In that case, the card should be made from heavy vinyl. However, if the event is meant to last only a day, then thin vinyl tags are sufficient.

To save more on badges, it is advisable to always buy in bulk. For instance, instead of buying just 50 cards or lanyards, one can go ahead and buy 500. The remaining cards or lanyards can be kept for use in the future. The purpose of this is that there are a lot of savings obtained from bulk purchases.

Generally, measurements for a badge are usually 4 inches by 3 inches. Others usually produce badges that are too big or too small. Big size renders cards awkward while small sizes render them ineffective at their work.
