What is the cheapest name badge or name tag you sell?

Answered by NameBadge.com · Updated August 2026
The cheapest name badge is a standard 1x3 plastic badge with a pin back and no upgrades, starting at $8.99 each and dropping to as low as $3.99 each in large volumes (10,000+). A name tag and a name badge are the same product here, so the entry price is identical - add-ons like magnetic backing, a printed logo, or a metal border raise the cost.

The lowest-priced option is a standard 1x3 plastic name badge with a pin back and no upgrades: it starts at $8.99 each and drops to as low as $3.99 each at high volume (around 10,000 pieces). "Name tag" and "name badge" mean the same product at NameBadge.com, so the cheapest starting price is the same whichever word you use.

What keeps the price lowest

  • Standard plastic - the most economical material (metal and wood cost more).
  • Pin back - the lowest-cost attachment; magnetic backing adds cost.
  • No add-ons - a printed logo, a metal border, or a domed finish each raise the per-badge price.
  • Higher quantity - per-badge cost falls as you order more.

A note on "cheap" badge ads

Be careful with teaser prices advertised elsewhere (like "$0.77 a badge") - those are usually a bare badge with a pin and nothing else, and every upgrade is extra. We quote the finished badge you actually want, with no surprise fees at checkout. See your real price in the free design tool or request a quote. Made in-house in the USA.
