You should take into account the basic setting where your name tags will be worn. Are you name tags for office employees or warehouse workers? Are the name tags subject to abuse or are they used in a benign environment? Who will see your name tags? Is security and positive identification an issue? These and other elements go into the make up of an effective name tag
Different environments and setting often dictate the choice of name tag and badge finding used. For an office setting some of our most popular name tags are metal name tags and engraved metal look name tags. The most popular backing is magnetic due to the fact that most office workers are wearing clothing that they do not want a pin punch through.
If your tags are going to be used in a clinical situation where they will be worn with scrubs or work attire the pin backing is most popular. The pin backing is less expensive and is less resistant to moving around when impacted. Also if you have warehouse workers or staff working where the name tags may be bumped by people, boxes or equipment we suggest using a pin backing.
Another thing you should consider when purchasing your name tags is normal wear and tear. A metal name tag will scratch easier than a plastic one. Also some colors do not show scratches and scuffs as much as say the metal look.
One of the last things to consider is who will be seeing the name tags? Do the names need to be large and readable (like in a nursing home were peoples eye site may be impaired). Do you need a larger size to emphasize critical information?
