What is a name tag?
A name tag is a small identifier worn on the chest or lapel that displays a person's name, and usually their job title, company, and logo. In everyday language 'name tag' and 'name badge' mean the same thing, and this site uses them interchangeably.
Is a name tag the same as a name badge?

A name tag from NameBadge.com is always the durable kind: a full-quality, reusable badge, not a disposable sticker.
