There is no one right answer when it comes to choosing the best Name Badges Your business’s needs will determine the best type of name badge.

You will first need to decide whether you require a temporary or permanent identification. You will need a temporary product if you have to use it for an event or meeting. Events usually last only a few days. You might choose a window badge that includes an insert. This insert can be printed with names or other information and then placed into the badge. A label badge is another option. This style would be made using a label maker such as a P Touch, or another brand. The label is printed on the machine and then attached to the badge. These styles are also available if you have a high turnover business to cut costs. A permanent badge with your logo and employee names can be used every day.

To determine how durable you require, consider the environment you are in and how often you use it. A badge engraved requires no printing. The 2 ply plastic is used to make the badge. To reveal the core color beneath your logo or t ext design, the surface color is engraved away. Businesses that may use chemicals or expose the badge to the elements are well-suited for engraved badges. These badges are ideal for people who use a name badge every day. Metal badges are elegant and professional and can be used by banks or law firms. Sublimated or etched metal badges are durable options. Sublimation involves printing ink onto paper and then heating it to transfer to the substrate. Although the ink is not likely to chip or flake, it can be smeared by chemical exposure. The metal can also be scratched by heavy use. Another option is PVC plastic, which can be printed with a digital machine. Digital machines use a thermal heat process for transfer of artwork to name badges. This results in crisp, durable prints that are clean and crisp. These are great for everyday use.
