Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) is one of the largest animal welfare organizations in the country, taking in more than 35,000 animals each year. We are different from other rescue organizations because we never turn away any homeless, abandoned, injured or sick animals in need, including cats, dogs, rabbits, small mammals, reptiles, birds, farm animals and wildlife.

“(ACC is) relentlessly working hard… to promote and protect the health, safety and welfare of pets and people in NYC,” explained Amy Bianciella, Special Events and Creative Manager, at Animal Care Centers of NYC.

Bianciella encourages everyone to “adopt, don’t shop” for their next loving pet.

Reusable badges are a versatile way to get a lot of name badges for a great, low price.

Mighty Badges are a great way to use a reusable name tag. The metal plates can be ordered plain or with a printed logo and names are quick and easy to add with the printable inserts. The Mighty Badge system is easy to use, as the three parts simply snap together to give you a professional looking, yet reusable, name badge.

Animal Care Centers received a donation of the white Standard Mighty Badge. Deluxe Magnets were the fasteners of choice. These strong magnets attach easily, even through thick clothing, while preventing holes and clothing damage.

Coller Industries loves providing these donations, especially when given to such a great cause. We stand by our customers and strive to help in our community. All of our donations are something that helps us stand out from our competition. And the best part is working with these wonderful people!

Donations: Neighborhood House

Coller Industries prides itself on our contributions to our community. Donations to repeat customers make our work completely worth it.

While we care about all of our customers, we love it when we have customers that feel comfortable coming back to us every year. Part of our community of caring means that we give back to this local community. With being the go-to specialist for all personal identification needs, Coller Industries enjoys donating name tags and other custom items to those who need a little bit of help.

This time, Neighborhood House of Salt Lake City needed our help to keep their costs down. They are a wonderful organization and they work with a lot of people. Constantly needing to identify these individuals can get expensive.

“Coller Industries donated name tags for Neighborhood House staff, board and committee members which will help make them more visible during events,” said Breighlin Johanson, Development Coordinator for Neighborhood House.

“Neighborhood House board and committee members are volunteers from our community who donate their time and talent to our Children’s Programs and Adult Day Services, helping make sure we operate an excellent non-profit with high-quality care available to low-income families in Salt Lake,” Johanson further explained.

Logo Name Tags

These name tags, chosen from a variety of colors, are engraved plastic. Each name tag featured someone’s name, title and the Neighborhood House logo. These name tags are a great representation of how versatile Coller Industries’ products are. Each name tag is personally inspected to make sure it meets our quality standards and then it is sent to the customer.

“Thank you again for Coller Industries’ generosity,” Johanson said. “Donations from partners like Coller Industries allow Neighborhood House to direct funds where they are needed most. This empowers low-income families to access quality, affordable day care and supportive services.”

We are grateful for organizations such as the Neighborhood House. All of our donations are something that help us stand out from our competition. And the best part is working with wonderful people just like this!

The Power Within Name Tags

Every person considers their name to be an important part of their identity. Name Tags are a tool allowing the creation of a culture of respect and recognition during conversations and interpersonal interactions.

Have you noticed that name tags are everywhere? Employees wear them in department stores, restaurants and many other business environments. Attendees wear them at conventions, conferences and other meetings.

Typically the power within name tags is acknowledged as a professional and friendly way to support communication and associate someone with a company or organization. Many companies use name tags to help customers identify their employees and as a tool that promotes their brand identity. This employee communication helps to improve customer care.

And everyone wears them for the same reason: to identify themselves to others around them.

One of the most powerful things about name tags is that they provide outstanding balance and uniformity. For an organization to succeed, all employees need to feel that they are part of a larger community that values their services. Personal identification, such as name tags, allows everyone to feel their individuality and be part of a larger group.

Name tags are part of many people’s daily lives. The power within name tags is actually quite simple. By providing personal identification, each person can feel their individuality and yet be part of a larger group.

Another great thing about the power of name tags is that they create a warm, inviting atmosphere wherever they are worn. Name tags can help people feel welcome when they don’t know anyone in a group or attend an event.

Name tags also provide confidence to conference or meeting attendees. Introductions feel less intimidating when people can call each other by their given names, and this encourages the networking that is so important at these events.

The reality is that name tags don’t have to be expensive or fancy to be powerful. When used appropriately, name tags help to build community. The power within name tags is real. So, put one on today!

We offer an almost endless variety of name tags to meet any need.

Introducing: Conference Name Tags

New products are an exciting time here in our office!

Whether it’s name tags, name plates or any other personal identification, here at Coller Industries we are always trying to keep up to date on our customer’s needs and possible want lists. Part of this process is to also keep up with the trends in the personalized identification business.

This month we’d like to introduce you to:
CONFERENCE NAME TAGS

Conference Name Tags are a perfect solution for any meeting planner’s need for inexpensive name badges. Instead of spending time printing inserts and stuffing vinyl name badge holders, we print attendees names on custom laminated badges. An experienced designer will work with you to design a custom badge.

And, as always, we will maintain your layout and order information to make it easy to order name tags for your next meeting, seminar or conference.

Between conventions and conferences, the last thing you need to worry about is personal identification. While adhesive name badges are super easy to deal with, they can also be informal. And sometimes traditional name tags are just a bit too much, and possibly too expensive. While we have many choices to meet every need, this new product provides even further options.

Each conference tag is printed on a heavy card stock for durability and then sealed with lamination. This makes all the name tags have a professional, finished look. These name tags have three available sizes and the larger two have a choice or horizontal or vertical orientations.

Conference name tags come with several fastener choices. Much like other name tags, use magnetic fasteners, swivel bulldog clips or even pins. Try having a hole punched in the top of larger tags and hang them on lanyards.

With a low minimum order quantity at 10,
Conference Name Tags are affordable and easy to order.

Small (1.25×3 inch) start at $2.75 for a minimum order.
Medium (2.25×3.5) start at $3.00 for a minimum order.
Large (3×4 inch) start at $3.50 for a minimum order.

And, as with most of our products, we offer quantity discounts on each size to make these name tags even more affordable for your events.

conference name tags come in three sizes great for any event

Add logos, graphics and text to each name tag. Remember that branding at conferences is important for any company or organization. When an event is well organized and branded, it essentially guarantees a good impression. Your event’s first impression is sure to leave a lasting impact on attendees. Whether your conference is big or small, the overall attendee experience needs to be good enough for them to want to come back the next time.

No matter your choice for conference, convention or event name tags, make sure to find something that truly meets your needs. Conference name tags are a perfect solution to meet any need and still provide professionalism.

People Who Wear Name Tags

From politicians to office managers, all people wear name tags!

While traditionally people wear name tags in the work place or at a convention, some wear them to other events such as conferences and horse races. From babies and pets to famous people, name tags can be seen everywhere!

From Scott Ginsberg, “People wear name tags more often than you think. The majority of retail establishments, stores and other social gatherings require name tags for several purposes. Sometimes it’s for security. Other name tags are solely for identification. But simply stated, people wear name tags for one reason: so other people can use their names for friendlier, more personable service and conversation.”

Recently even Prince William and his wife Catherine were even spotted wearing name tags! They were sporting the bright purple name tags at the recent, and annual, Royal Ascot (a five-day social horse racing event). Rather than keeping with traditional first and last names, they were labeled with “HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) The Duke/Duchess of Cambridge.”

Titles are often used in office settings or in retail environments, thus making managers and head staff stand out a bit more from other employees. Titles are also handy during a conference or convention to separate attendees from staff. Staff can range from the workers and servers to speakers and presenters. While typically titles are kept brief, remember to not sell anyone short when using their title on a name tag or name badge.

So, what other people wear name tags? Even politicians have been known to wear a name tag. Typically it has a support message along with their name and title encouraging the viewer to remember their cause as well as their name.

Another person who might wear a name tag is: YOU!
Have you ever worn a name tag for a job or other purpose? If so, where and when?

Something to always remember about name tags:

“A person’s name is the sweetest sound they will hear in any language. When you use their names, you will make them feel appreciated, welcome and important. Maybe it’s printed on a plastic clip. Maybe it’s written on a paper name tag. Even if it hangs from a lanyard, stares you in the face, look at it, and SAY IT!” exclaims Scott Ginsberg.
