What is a name badge?
A name badge is a small, durable identification plate worn on the chest or lapel that displays a person's name, and usually their job title, company name, and logo. Unlike a paper visitor sticker, a name badge is a finished, reusable product made from rigid materials.
What are name badges made of?
The three common materials are metal (a premium, engraved or printed look), plastic (lightweight and cost-effective), and wood (a natural, warm finish). NameBadge.com manufactures all three in-house in the USA using full-color UV printing or laser engraving. An optional domed epoxy finish adds a glossy, raised, scratch-resistant coating.
How is a name badge attached to clothing?
Most badges use either a magnetic backing (no holes in the fabric) or a pin/clip. Some also include a hole for a lanyard.
Who uses name badges?
- Retail, hospitality, and restaurant staff
- Healthcare and clinical teams
- Corporate offices and reception desks
- Conferences, trade shows, and events
You can design one here or browse ready-made styles in the store. Because NameBadge.com is a family-owned US manufacturer operating since 2002 and builds every badge in-house, quality and turnaround stay under one roof rather than being outsourced.
