Customized Rush Name Badges

Quick Ship badges are perfect for rush printing. You’ll get your logo in black with a line for employee names and titles. On the back the AR-1”x3” badges come with a strong magnet (included in the price.)

For a slightly longer turnaround time, the BB-101-QS Name Badge comes in gold or silver with a black printed logo and one or two lines of names and titles. The magnet isn’t included in the BB-101-QS nametag as it comes with a safety pin latch.

One by three inch size is the most popular size for express custom name badges, most of our quick ship badges come in this standard 1”x3” size.

Custom Metal Name Badges

Metal name badges come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Check out our full colour print name badges and our spot colour name badges.

The BB-101 custom printed badge comes in white, gold or silver with a full colour logo, name and one or two lines for name and title. On metal name badges, you usually won’t get colour matching but will choose from the spot colours that closely match your logo.

Metal name badges can come with a window under your logo. As employees and titles change, just pop out the name and print a new title on the included paper tags.

If you’d rather not pierce clothing, check out the magnetic backing. Magnet-backed name badges are strong and long-lasting, without damaging your employee’s nice dress shirt.

Custom Printed Plastic Name Badges

With plastic custom name badges, you can create a full-colour digital print. These custom name badges look great with a fully designable canvas for your logo or branding. Plastic name badges come with a pin to secure them to your clothing, but we have more options including magnetic latches.

Plastic name badges are durable and affordable, with a variety of shapes and sizes available.

Plastic Tape Slot Badges

With plastic tape slot badges, you can use a label-maker to print and change employee names. This option is printable with a full-colour digital print or a single spot-colour print for a bit less money. These name badges come with a pin or can be upgraded to a magnet. The custom printed plastic tape slot badges are perfect if you’re on a budget, have a ton of volunteers or have high employee turnover.

Reusable ‘Window’ Name Badges

With a window name badge, you can simply slip the employee’s name insert in and out as staff change. These name badges come with perforated sheets for you to use in the office.

You can choose a digital print on your window name badge or a spot colour print. Window name badges look great and last a long time without sacrificing flexibility.

Custom Shaped Name Badges

Why stick with the basic option? With custom shaped name badges, you can create a shape like a heart, a speech bubble or a shape that matches your logo. Leave extra space in your name badge for a name to be printed and stuck to the badge.

Write-On Name Badges

With these name badges, we’ll spot print your logo onto a write-on name badge. These badges can be written on and erased with a dry-erase marker. This is the perfect badge for events, meetups or any organization that sees a lot of different volunteers. We love the write-on name badge for it’s super flexibility!
