Name badge guide

Fastening name tags to clothing: a quick guide

Basic rules for positioning a name badge.

A name tag should preferably be worn on the right-hand side (from the wearer’s perspective). Why? Because when you greet someone with a handshake, they turn their upper body slightly towards you, which allows them to quickly glance at your badge unnoticed. They can then greet you by your name and it will help them put your face to your name more easily. Company names and positions can also be instantly identified.

Ideal

Below the collarbone
Slightly towards the center of the body
Facing the front, on a substantial area of fabric (such as the lapel)

Unsuitable

Where long hair will cover up the name tag
On accessories such as ties, scarves or breast pockets
On the neckline or dress strap

FAQ

Five questions to help you create the perfect name badge!

How noticeable should my badge be?

Want to show that your business is trustworthy and stands for top quality and expertise? If so, make sure you select premium materials, and either a professionally printed logo or ready-printed name badges, e.g., polar® alu-complete, aluline complete or office alu-print Looking for name badges that must be practical and flexible to use? Then, choose a functional model with a do-it-yourself labeling option, e.g. office classic or vista® classic.

What’s the most important piece of information I want my badge to convey?

Should attendees be able to address your colleagues personally by name? Should the department/position be shown? Design the name of the badge wearer so it looks large and prominent. Choose a name badge with plenty of design space and room for 3 lines of text. e.g. polar® classic (size L), vista® classic (size L or XL) Should your company or your brand be more prominent for the person viewing your badge? If the answer’s yes, a name badge that makes your logo really eye-catching is the right choice, e.g. aluline-plus® system (size S) or colored badges such as polar® alu/colorprint.

What is my company’s style?

Do you operate in the technology, digital and innovation sector? If so, choose a name badge made of metal or one with a metallic effect, e.g. polar® alu-print series or aluline-plus® models.
