What is the best name badge for corporate offices?
For most corporate environments, we recommend full-color sublimation printed badges with magnetic backs. They allow exact brand color matching, include your logo, and the magnetic fastener doesn't damage expensive business attire. For law firms, financial services, and executive leadership, engraved metal badges (brushed silver or gold) project more authority. The most popular corporate size is 1.5" x 3" which accommodates first name, last name, title, and company logo without looking crowded.
Can you match our exact brand colors (Pantone)?
Yes, we offer Pantone color matching for corporate brand consistency. Send us your Pantone codes, hex values, or brand guidelines and we calibrate our equipment to match exactly. If you don't know your Pantone colors, send us your logo file and we'll identify them for you at no charge. Our sublimation printing process ensures every reorder matches previous batches perfectly—critical for large organizations ordering badges over time.
How fast can you deliver corporate name badges?
Standard production is 1-3 business days, with free shipping (typically 3-5 business days via USPS/UPS). Rush orders can ship same day if placed before noon Eastern—call us directly for rush service. We produce everything in our Florida and South Carolina facilities, not overseas, which means faster turnaround and better quality control. Most corporate orders arrive within one week of ordering.
What if an employee loses their badge or we hire someone new?
We keep your design on file permanently at no charge. Replacing a lost badge or ordering for a new hire takes about 2 minutes—just log into your account, enter the new name, and order. Single badge replacements ship next business day with no setup fees and no minimum order. Many HR departments love this because it eliminates the hassle of recreating designs every time someone joins the team.
Do magnetic badges work with suits and dress clothes?
Yes, magnetic badges work through most business attire including dress shirts, blouses, suit jackets, and light sweaters. Our rare-earth neodymium magnets hold securely through fabric up to 1/4" thick. Heavy wool blazers or thick suit jackets may require pin-back badges instead. We can send samples to test with your specific uniforms before placing a large order. Important note: magnetic badges should not be worn by employees with pacemakers—we offer pin-back alternatives for those individuals.
Can different departments have different badge styles?
Absolutely. We work with many large corporations that have different badge styles by department, location, or role. Common setups include: color-coded borders by department, different background colors for different offices, premium metal badges for executives while standard staff get plastic, and special badges for security or visitor-facing roles. We keep multiple templates on file for your organization and you can specify which template when ordering each badge.
How long do corporate name badges last?
Our badges typically last 5-10+ years with daily wear. The printing method is key: our sublimation process embeds the ink INTO the material rather than printing on top, so it can't scratch, fade, or rub off. Engraved metal badges last even longer since the text is physically cut into the metal. We have corporate customers still using badges we made a decade ago. The magnetic fasteners use neodymium magnets that retain their strength for 100+ years.
What's the difference between NameBadge.com and Vistaprint or other online printers?
The main differences are quality and service. We're a dedicated name badge manufacturer, not a general print shop. Every order is reviewed by a real designer who checks logo quality, text sizing, and alignment—they'll contact you if something looks off rather than printing a mistake. Our materials are commercial-grade (thicker plastic, stronger magnets, better inks). Production happens in our US facilities in Florida and South Carolina, not overseas. And when you call, you talk to a human who can actually help, not a call center reading scripts. Companies switch to us after bad experiences with print-on-demand sites.
Do you offer bulk discounts for large corporate orders?
Yes, we offer tiered volume pricing. Orders of 5+ badges save 7%, 25+ save 13%, 50+ save 20%, and 100+ save 27% or more. For orders of 250+ badges, contact us for custom corporate pricing. We also offer corporate accounts with centralized billing, multiple ship-to addresses, and saved designs that any authorized person can reorder from. Many Fortune 500 companies use our corporate program for ongoing badge needs across multiple locations.
