A name is something a person owns in his own right. It is something that is meant to be his identity as a person. In our social lives, we don’t don name tags because we are used to communicating informally and disclosing our names at our own will.
A name is something a person owns in his own right. It is something that is meant to be his identity as a person. In our social lives, we don’t don name tags because we are used to communicating informally and disclosing our names at our own will. However, when it comes to business, depending on the nature of the business or depending on the event that you take part in which concerns your business you might have to sport what is called a name tag. These are places where your name becomes your brand along with the brand that you are supporting. These are places where you promote both yourself and the company or institution you represent. These are the two essential elements of your name tag.

Name tags are often temporary accessories that are used in special occasions and for this a customized name tag or a handwritten name tag can be used. However, since handwritten name tags are a thing of the past and not everyone perceives hand written texts the same way it is much better and much professional to print out the text with computerized fonts. The color of the font against the background color of the name tag layout should be well in contrast thus making the name obvious and visible even a few feet away.

Name tags should not be confused with identity cards because the factors of consideration while designing an identity card varies extensively from name tags. Identity cards carry a lot of information and are worn as permanent accessory in the corporate or academic atmosphere. Name tags, on the other hand, although work as your temporary identity cards need to display much more in minimal information format things that characterize your business.

Sticker name tags are also a thing of the past since the relationship between your clothe and the sticker quality can never be predicted. Thus we have plastic name tags, lanyards and magnetic name tags. Most of these name tags are disposable and some like the lanyards can be reused. Some name tags are also made up of Gold but it is not a great idea to have a name tag made in metal especially like gold that reflects light too much making it difficult to detect your name from certain angles.

A bad name tag design and a bad choice of fonts and colors can ruin your whole agenda of effective promotion. So if in case it is an event where you are supposed to be supplied with universal name tags, make sure that you carry your own name tags as well that promotes your name clearly and if necessary, wear both name tags if it is the question of security in that particular event.
