School & Teacher Name Badges
Custom badges and staff IDs for public and private schools, districts, preschools, and colleges. Design your own online: add a name and role, drop in your school or district logo, and we print and ship. Staff IDs, visitor badges, lanyard or magnetic backing, reusable year to year. Made in the USA, no minimum order.
What goes on a school name badge?
A school badge typically shows the staff name, a role line (Teacher, Principal, Counselor, Aide, Office, Volunteer), and the school or district logo. Many campuses color-code staff, volunteers, and visitors so they are easy to tell apart, and add a photo for staff ID where their security program calls for it. Lanyard and magnetic backings are both popular.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make name badges for a school or district?
Yes. Design online or upload your school or district logo, add each staff name and role, and we print and ship. We make badges for public and private schools, districts, preschools and daycares, colleges, tutoring centers, and after-school and summer programs. No minimum, and single replacement badges for new staff are welcome.
What goes on a teacher or school staff badge?
The staff name, a role line (Teacher, Principal, Counselor, Aide, Office, Volunteer), and the school or district logo. Some schools use a first name and grade or subject for younger students. You control exactly what appears and approve a proof before printing.
Do you make visitor and security check-in badges?
Yes. Visitor and temporary badges are a common school order for parents, substitutes, and contractors at check-in. Add a photo for staff ID where your security program requires one, and color-code badges so staff, volunteers, and visitors are easy to tell apart.
Lanyard or magnetic backing for teachers?
Both are popular. Lanyards are easy on and off and pair with a photo ID and a retractable reel; magnetic backing leaves no pin holes and sits flat. Pin and clip backings are also available.
Can badges be reused year to year?
Yes. Durable badges last for years for stable roles, and reusable window badges let you swap a printed insert so the same badge carries into a new year or a new teacher without reprinting the whole set.
Is there a minimum order, and can I reorder for new staff?
No minimum. Order one replacement badge or a full staff set, and reorder against your saved design any time. Standard production is a few business days after proof approval, with 24 to 48 hour rush available.
