Name Plate Functionality In The Workplace

While a name plate is a common thing to see in a workplace, they are often needed for various reasons.

From employee identification to the labeling of doors and stairways, name plates serve multiple functions in different places. Often when found in an office building, a name plate typically displays someone’s name and title. And these plates either sit on a desk or hang on a wall just outside of an office.

But, many times these functional personal identification tools play different roles.

Banks, Libraries and Schools

Banks often use a name plate with a message such as Next Teller Please, Lane Closed and other instructions. Libraries can use name plates for labeling shelves and book carts so readers can easily find what they are looking for. And schools often use name plates for room numbers or door signs.

Teachers may find it necessary to labels specific tasks or sections of a bulletin board. Name plates make this labeling quick and easy. With simple adhesives or easy-to-use wall mounts, each name plate quickly becomes visible.

Gifting, Decorating and Awards

Corporate gifting is one of the best ways to grow and maintain your business. Most companies agree that the fundamental reason for gifting is to acknowledge relationships and improve personal connections. Customize each name plate with a person’s name and title or favorite saying and recognize them at your next meeting.

Or, create a unique decorating style with a custom name plate with a favorite quote. Hang them with wall mounts or set them on a shelf or counter with either a desk holder or desk base. And, choose from a variety of colors and printing or engraving options to customize the look.

Name plates make unique awards. Use award titles and other achievements for the text on name plates. Everyone is sure to enjoy this unusual name plate use.

Directions, Instructions and Information

In many offices and workplaces, information about rooms or directions is a frequent need. Customize name plates to meet any informational needs and help visitors and employees feel more welcome. Whether it is to point out a meeting room or a restroom, these directions are often required in most settings.

We’ve all seen the push or pull signs on doors. Use a name plate to designate which way a door swings, so people know without having to try both ways.

No matter your use for name plates, we’re sure to have what you need!

Introducing: Partition Pins

Last week we announced a new name plate product. This week, we have another one: partition pins!

Not only are name plates common in office settings, but they are often seen in retail and other settings. The conundrum, however, comes when trying to find the right type of name plate and fastener or holder to use.

There are many different options for name plates. We offer a basic laser engraved name plate, which is great for a quick name and title. This type of name plate is the most versatile and can be moved around with a person from office to office, or cubicle to cubicle. But what happens when they need to be hung on a cubical or movable wall? We’ve all seen those wonderful fabric walls! So, we’re introducing our new Partition Pins!

Partition Pins are designed for attaching name plates and small office signage to fabric, cloth or carpet on walls, doors, cubicles and partitions. These pins are perfect for a do-it-yourself alternative to other fastener options such as Velcro, adhesive or screws. Simply attach these pins, which come in pairs, to the back of a name plate and slide the pins into the cloth on a cubicle wall. These pins securely hold the name plate up until it’s time to move it. They are also easily used on a wall mount instead of directly on the back of a name plate. These pins are also made so they don’t damage partition or cubicle walls.

These partition pins can be attached to all of our name plates and most of the wall mounts. Simply peel the backing off the adhesive on the back of the pin and press firmly down onto the desired surface. They prevent slipping and falling!

So, the next time you need to hand something on a cubicle wall, think of the wonderful new addition of Partition Pins to the Name Tag, Inc. line!

The Functionality of Name Plates In The Work Place

The primary function of a name plate is to inform viewers of a specific person’s name and/or title.

Many people need to work to earn a living. Those of us who must seek employment may end up in a job or career that requires some sort of personal identification. Personal identification could be as simple as wearing a name tag to work. However, those of us who end up in an office setting, are finding that this personal identification comes in the form of a name plate. Name plates are typically designed with not only the employee in mind, but also the employer.

To promote consistency, many companies tend to use the same style name plate for all employees. Each name plate Name Tag, Inc. offers comes in a plastic or a metal material. Each one can be ordered as a template design or custom made with or without a company logo. And each name plate can be ordered with a wall mount, a desk holder or a cubicle hanger.

These name plates are typically mounted on a door, wall or cubicle in an office setting. There are many ways to accomplish this task. There are desk holders that simply sit on the corner of a desk. There are wall mounts that can be fastened to a wall or door using screws or double-sided tape. However, many people don’t like using screws or tape to stick these name plates to their office walls or cubicles. It also becomes quite the process to make them sit level so that they look professional. Name Tag, Inc. provides another option for those leery of screws and tape. Enter the cubicle hangers; these provide an easy way to hang a name plate using double-sided tape, or just insert the name plate under the hanger so the tension holds it in place. And if a customer doesn’t want to use these cubicle hangers, we do offer velcro and magnetic tape.
