Facts About Dry Erase Name Tags

By Lisa Scott


A name tag refers to a badge or tag that is worn by people around their neck or on their chest for the purposes of easy of identification in events. Besides identification, these badges are also used for data intelligence and engagement. Many companies use dry erase name tags as a marketing tool, and they are very effective and powerful. The tags usually hold information about the person wearing them.

For example, the tags may bear the name and the job position of the wearer. Some may bear a small description of the wearer so that it is easier for other people to identify them. Typically tags are made of a card holder that is held on a lanyard. It is the lanyard that the wearer wears around their neck. In some cases, the cardholder may be held by a safety pin.

The safety pins are pinned on the clothes of the wearers in the chest area. In general, name tags are very simple products but when poorly designed, their purposes may not be served effectively. Good badges are produced using good design. The size is the first factor one should put in mind. These products are made of sizes equal to that of an ID card or ATM card.

Given the small size, it may not be possible to see the writings on it from far away. However, the graphics included may be easily identifiable from a significant distance away. For tags to be effective, they need to be designed in a way that they resonate with the event being attended. Appropriate name badges make it easy for people at the event to start making conversation that later lead to successful networking.

As mentioned earlier in the article, other badges or tags are attached on lanyards for easier wearing by the wearer. Supposing one chooses to have the lanyard design, selecting lanyards that are made from materials that are reliable is very important. The material used should have the strength of holding the card. The card should be held by the lanyard in such a way that people are able to read it.

For example, the lanyard should be able to maintain the card facing up. The lanyard should also be adjustable in length. Making the lanyard adjustable makes it easy for one to wear and remove the badge with ease. To prevent the card from swiveling, it is advisable to make it using a double-ended lanyard. The lanyard can be colored in any way one wants.

Choosing a bright color for the lanyard is the best because it helps someone to notice the card from a distance. Secondly, it is important to pick a font size that is easy to read by different people. Some people choose to use very small fonts in order to economize on the space on the card. This is a common mistake that should be avoided.

The reader may find it difficult to read the details on the card if the fonts are made small. People may be repelled away by this. However, the fonts must not be extra-large because of the lots of space taken by them. Long names may not be well suited by this
