Protect Your Clothing With a Magnetic Name Badge

A magnetic name badge does not require any pins to attach it to your clothing. The magnetic strip adheres to your shirt or blouse and you no longer have to worry about putting holes in expensive clothes. Many companies are now using these identification badges for their employees because they are so easy to use. The magnetic backing will even stick to heavy fabrics such as coats and suit material. They are generally used for identification purposes only and are not usually seen in buildings where there needs to be high security.

Different types of name badges

Depending on the need for security, a company can choose from many different types of ID badges for its employees. These include:

• Engraved plastic badges
• Metallic frame badges
• Badges with a chip for opening doors
• Photo badges
• Custom badges containing the company logo

Some companies that hold a lot of meetings can save money by purchasing a magnetic name badge for each of its employees. A school board for example, could have one of these for each of its teachers. Then when meetings or professional development sessons are held, it does not have to spend money on plastic holders, name cards and lanyards for each session.

In areas where high security is needed, the ID badges must contain the photo of each employee. They also have the employee's name and signature as an added security measure. Sometimes these badges need to have the employee's title added with the name and photo, so that when you meet the person you know which office or sector of the company he/she works in.

Getting the Badges that you need

If your company or school needs to have custom badges for employees, you can easily order the badges through an online retailer. Simply select the type of badge you want, provide the list of names you need imprinted and in the case of photo badges, you can submit the photos through an email attachment. You will probably have the badges for your employees within two or three days.
