What name plates work for cubicles and offices?

Answered by NameBadge.com · Updated August 2026
Cubicle name plates are slide-in plates that mount to a fabric or metal partition with a holder, using a printed or engraved insert that slides out so the name can be changed without replacing the whole plate. Reusable insert plates suit offices with frequent staff changes; engraved plates suit permanent placements.

A cubicle name plate identifies who sits in a workspace and mounts to a partition wall, either clipped to the top rail or attached to the fabric panel. The two main styles are reusable insert plates and permanent engraved plates.

Reusable insert plates

These use a frame or holder with a clear window; the name is on a printed paper or plastic insert that slides in and out. When someone moves or a new hire arrives, you swap the insert instead of buying a new plate. Best for departments with regular turnover or hot-desking.

Permanent engraved or UV-printed plates

The name is laser-engraved or UV-printed directly onto the plate for a finished, durable look. Best for long-term placements and executive offices. NameBadge produces these in metal, plastic, or wood, with magnetic, adhesive, or partition-clip mounting.

How do I choose?

  • Frequent staff changes: reusable slide-in inserts
  • Stable, professional placement: engraved or UV-printed plates
  • Partition mounting: choose a holder matched to your panel type
