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.

Typically, a name tag will contain the name of the wearer. Depending on the audience and the nature of the event, name tags for employees may also contain other pieces of information about the wearer, the event, and the company they represent. These pieces of information include job position, company being represented, and responsibility of the wearer at the event. This way, anyone who needs to converse with the wearer can just look at the badge and know about relevant information about the individual.

These badges should be designed appropriately for them to be effective. The use of suitable type of font and size is one way of attaining a great design. Whereas some font types are legible, others need the reader to strain so that they can read. Thus, font sizes that are minute make it difficult for some people to read.

Among the easiest to design and cheapest to buy are the white and black badges. However, there efficiency falls below that of colored tags. Event description, job titles, and company logo are some of the characteristics of multicolored tags. They are much better than white and black ones. Use of multiple colors provides the possibility of using company colors, which makes identification much simpler.

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.

It is very critical to gauge durability of the material to be used to make the badge. Badges are meant to be used over and over again in numerous occasions. For this reason, it must be ascertained that they can last long enough to serve their purpose. Furthermore, some events take days or even weeks. This makes it necessary that the cards be made of high quality vinyl. Light vinyl can be used if the event in which the card is to used only lasts a single day.

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.

In general, a badge usually measures 4 inches by 3 inches. Some people usually make their badges too small or too large. Very large cards will look awkward while those that are too small will be ineffective at their work.
