Advantages Of Using Reusable Name Tags

By Ruth Kelly


In this economy, companies need to find all sorts of ways to cut back on operational costs. Employee badges seem like a mundane budget item to focus on but if looked at cumulatively it could make a difference on the bottom line. By using reusable name tags, the company is able to utilize the same item over years and different personnel changes. This saves the time and cost required by that little item.

The customers would appreciate knowing the name of their server since they would not have enough time to learn and remember the name because they will not work for too long. This will save the employee the embarrassment of having to remind their name every single time. These badges also come in handy in big companies with thousands of employees. How does one know they are in the elevator with someone who could change the trajectory of their career?

If the company wants to reuse badges over time, they best go for the highest possible quality the market can offer. The badges should be hardy. They should not easily break or show signs of wear after a few years. They should stay sharp and visually appealing for a long time. Now, keep in mind that these badges are entitled to break down after a while. Ensure not to expect too much out of the poor thing.

Most companies like to go for the completely blank badge. It will just be a husk and the company can decide how to go about the presentation of information. Either the company will use markers to write names on a piece of paper then insert or they could be a little more conscientious about it and print along with the company logo and maybe a slogan.

The badge could come with an already inserted company logo and color. The company supplying the badge will only leave space for a name and maybe the position of the person. They might produce printable inserts for more uniformity. The company must be careful about the space provided. They should ensure to relay to the makers exactly how much space is required. One-liner, double, or multiple lines.

This should go without saying but script or cursive should be kept off the badge. The information should be in big bold block letters. Preferably, in a dark color that can be read from clear across the room. If there is a choice of just one name then go with the given design. Unless of course, the person prefers to be called by their surname. Also, forgo nicknames unless it is a casual setting.

Imagine an event planner who handles conferences and company retreats. This planner is going to need new badges every time. However, if they have this type they can cut the cost of that particular overhead and concentrate on other aspects. There will be a bit of a challenge getting all of them back but it can be arranged.

Party planners only hire wait staff based on need. They are not required to be full-time employees of the company. This also means that there will almost always be a new team member every time. A badge that can be used each time whether or not the planner could get hold of the previous servers would be useful.
