Magnets may interfere with the performance of pacemakers and items with magnetic information on them such as credit cards, room keys and diskettes (note: USB Flashdrives are not affected by magnets). If you have or use any of these items in proximity to the magnet please use caution.

We also suggest you keep a few standard combo clips handy in case you have guests who can't or won't use magnetic fasteners.

First the similarities: both use stronger edge welded seams for more durability than competing models and both are sized perfectly for easy insertion. Our Preferred Holders use 30% thicker vinyl to double the usable life – perfect for meetings up to 1 week long. Our Standard Value Vinyl Holders are the same weight as most company’s “preferred” holders and are ideal for 1-2 day meetings. Order our FREE Name Tag Comparison Sample Kit to see the difference for yourself.

Just order the same size insert as the holder. We’ve already built in the room you need for hassle-free assembly.

For shipping and organizing your nametags consider our OneWay™ shipping containers. They hold up to 50 name tags securely through transport and serve as organization trays at the registration table. With OneWay™ Nametag Cases you can organize your name tags at the office, ship them to the meeting site and be ready to register as soon as you lift the lid.

For even faster organizing consider adding Alpha Tags Alphabetic Divider Cards to the OneWay™.

Yes there is. Our Pret-a-Sporty® Combo gives you a top-notch preferred holder plus our popular sporty necklace in one easy, pre-assembled package.

Yes and no. While we’ll be more than happy to work with you on developing a custom size, the cost of the mold and seam welding tooling usually makes a custom size cost-prohibitive for anything less than around 1,000 units. And with 150 different size/style options in stock and ready to go we’ve got a name tag holder option to suit nearly every meeting need.

Budget and function are the two factors to consider. Side loaders are a great value and a perfect choice when price is a serious issue.  While top loaders run about 15-30% more than side load models, they are more flexible and comfortable for the wearer, a little easier to load and hold the insert a bit more securely.

Pin Fasteners are the traditional low-cost option and ideal for casual outings.

For more formal events, Clip Fasteners let guests attach their badges without damaging delicate silk or rayon fabrics.

You can cover both needs by ordering our versatile Combo Clips.

Magnetic Fasteners give you the ultimate in convenience and formal attire compatibility – just be aware that magnets may interfere with pacemakers and items with magnetic information in them such as credit cards room keys and diskettes (USB drives are fine however). If you want to use magnetic fasteners, just keep a few standard combo clips on hand for guests who can’t or won’t use magnetic fasteners. 

Yes you can! And it’s a great way to classify and organize attendees without going through the expense of custom holders or multi-color insert printing. We offer over 30 options in Color Bar, Translucent, Translucent Frame and Color/Title Bar models so you can keep track of guests while keeping your budget in check. Check out our Color Coded Holder options.

1. Build in greater event security: A custom badge holder is nearly impossible to replicate – and that keeps unwanted guests out of your meeting.

2. Create Esprit de Corps – Need to pump up the sales force, let guests know your sponsor is a premium provider or just give your meeting a one-of-a-kind look? That’s exactly what a custom printed holder can do.
Best of all, we can replicate a photograph, match your company color to perfection or add any titles you may need. Get all the details on our custom holder program by calling 1-888-354-7868 or emailing us at sales@pcnametag.com.

Re-occurring meetings with the same guest list are the obvious answer for products like Quick Close Holders and our Reuse-A-Badge as you can keep the same insert in for several events in a row.

But clients are also asking planners to reduce waste in all meetings. Our reusable World Badge® Holder is an excellent option for this as it loads and unloads 25% faster than a standard holder to speed reuse.

Yes we do. From a recycled vinyl option to a holder that’s completely bio-degradable you’ll find our full selection of greener nametag holders here. And in prices that let you go green without putting your budget in the red.
