A name badge is not just a name tag. It is an identity. So when you’re giving your employees custom metal name badges, you aren’t just giving them a badge they can wear on their uniform, you’re giving them pride and self-esteem.
While that may sound like hogwash, it actually isn’t. The concept is not new in psychology. A person can draw his sense of worth from an organization he belongs to.
In a business organization, that means those badges will make your employees perform better to keep the stature of the organization. But that’s just one of the many benefits. If you’re done being on the fence about name tags and are now on the design stage, this article will help you pick between magnetic backings and pin backings.
So which is best, magnetic name badges or pins? That depends on your needs. Read on and learn more about them here.
Magnetic Backings
Magnetic badges have two pieces of magnetic material on either side that are attracted to each other when the badge is worn close to a magnet.
One advantage of these types of badges is that they are easy to attach and remove with no pins or strings needed. Another advantage is that they are more durable than pin-on tags because there are fewer points where they can be damaged.
Magnetic name badges provide several advantages over pins, including the ability to wear them on any clothing without causing damage on the clothing. Magnetic tags also have a cleaner appearance that many people prefer.
Here at Imprint Plus, our magnetic plates for custom metal name badges offer a sturdy base and an incredibly solid hold. You can expect them to maintain their grip even through the thickest of fabric.
The only disadvantage of magnetic badges is that they can be a costly option. They are more expensive than pin-on name badges.
Pin Backings
Pins have various advantages, the first of which is their low cost. Here at imprint plus, we offer pins at a bargain price. Our pins also have a locking mechanism that keeps your name badges in place and from suddenly opening or moving.
One disadvantage of pins is that it’s not as durable as magnetic badges. It’s also not clothes-friendly. It will leave a pinhole mark on your clothes, so you definitely won’t want to wear one when you’re wearing a soft shirt, especially when it’s expensive.
However, if you’re on a budget, pin name badges may be a better option than getting name tags in traditional badge holders. They’re known for being much easier to attach than lanyards and they don’t get in the way of people’s hair or clothes like traditional badge holders do.
So if you need a simple and affordable name badge that will last a fairly long time, pin name tags may be a good option to use for backings. But if you want a name badge that will last longer and that looks elegant and clean, go for a magnetic name badge.
