At Imprint Plus, our focus is all about our customers. We make their business processes and workflows more efficient by leveraging our expertise to provide the highest possible level of quality and innovation in name badges and other professional signage.

While you might have been familiar with us from the professional signage that we produce in the form of name badges, photo IDs and lapel pins, what you might not have known was that we also produce a wide range of highly innovative accessory products that work hand in hand with our badges and other signage in order to streamline communication and make our customers’ processes that much more efficient.

Here’s a high level view of some of the uncommon quality and innovative features that you will find well-represented in some of the many accessories that we sell here on our website, ranging from badge talkers to lanyards for name badges.

Lanyards for �鶹��ý�Ŷ�

Not every workplace will have a practical need for name badge lanyards, but everyone at least knows what they are. They’re designed to serve as an alternative to traditional fasteners for name badges and IDs that are easier and more convenient to take off and put on.

Lanyards for name badges are a mainstay of several industries, including but not limited to schools, hospitals, food service suppliers and many others. They’re convenient and effective, and when they’re designed as fastidiously as ours are, they provide a rare level of quality.

By the end of this article, you won’t see name badge lanyards in the same light. A lanyard is not just a lanyard, and here are some of the features that ours can offer.

• Breakaway design:

Like other neckwear, a lanyard can be as much of a hassle as a help, and some situations require extra prudence when neckwear is concerned. Whether you work around hazardous machinery or in sensitive situations, our lanyards will serve you admirably.

They’re made with a breakaway design that safely disconnects when too much force is applied, keeping the wearer safe and out of harm’s way. This makes them highly suitable for use in a range of scenarios in which traditional lanyards and other neckwear would pose an explicit hazard. Safer and more practical, the breakaway design is only one of many features that makes them highly suitable in a larger range of situations.

• Antimicrobial material:

Our lanyards for name badges are also made with a special fabric material that is inherently anti-microbial. Mechanical and physical hazards are only some of the workplace hazards that any of your employees might come across in a given day. For some people, microbial hazards are part and parcel of the job and dealing with them comes as a part of a day’s work.

Some of the time, good hygienic practices like hand washing and wearing gloves or a face mask will help to prevent the spread of germs and diseases, but clothing and accessories that help those processes are highly valuable. What good is it to keep your hands clean if your uniform harbors bacteria?

Luckily, our lanyards will not, and are tested to inhibit the growth of common pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, better known as E. coli. That makes them ideal for workers in food service and medical professions, among many others.

• No twist design:

Another common issue with name badges and lanyards, when they are paired, is that some lanyards have a habit of sitting a certain way on the body. Unfortunately, some lanyards sit the wrong way and keep the name badge that’s paired with them facing the opposite direction, against the wearer's chest or stomach. Unfortunately, this often goes unnoticed, and no conscientious employee is going to waste an undue amount of time performing “lanyard checks.”

What you need, if you’ve ever experienced this issue, is a lanyard that checks itself. Our lanyards are made with a no twist design and are engineered to sit the right way on the body so that the wearer’s name tag faces the right direction - it’s better for everyone involved and looks better too.

• Your choice of color:

Finally, on the subject of lanyards, they are a component of your employee’s uniforms and so they should perform accordingly. If you’ve ever had a headache when working with a supplier that was forcing you to bend to their supply instead of accommodating your needs as a customer, we’re here to help.

Our lanyards are available in a wide range of colors so that you can match them nicely to the rest of your employees' uniforms, creating a better, more thoroughly branded presentation for your employees and a better experience for your customers and partners.

Lanyards for name badges keep your ID cards front and center and right where everyone can see them. They promote the human element, keep everyone better informed and facilitate communication, and will improve the value of your brand.

Also, if displaying employee ID is a requirement for your workplace, they streamline that; it’s easy to mark someone without a lanyard, even from afar, and once you get an impression of the quality we provide in our lanyards, you just won’t be able to settle for any alternative.

Of course, our name badge lanyards are also paired with surprising quality in the form of our lanyard ID badge holders that are made to a higher standard of quality as well.

Lanyard ID Badge Holders

Our lanyard ID holders are, like our lanyards themselves, cut from a different cloth. We’ve designed them using top quality materials so that they can deliver the best possible experience and last the longest possible length of time. The fewer times in a period that you need to replace essential portions of your workers’ uniforms, the better, and the more money you’ll save.

• High quality materials:

Objectively speaking, our name badge holders are made from the highest quality materials that we could source, so together with our anti-twist, anti-microbial lanyards, they’re designed to offer performance and to last longer. Highly durable and easy to use, an investment in these badge holders will last you for years with proper care.

• PureClear^TM holders stay clearer longer:

One of the greatest benefits of our lanyard ID badge holders is that they will simply stay clearer for longer. Have you ever personally witnessed a yellowing or a cloudy badge holder? It’s an all-too-common problem among badge holders, and it is not only unpleasant to look at, but counteracts the point of a badge holder - if you can’t read the name or see the picture, what good is it?

Our PureClearTM badge holders are made with ethyl vinyl acetate, which is better known as EVA, and will stay clearer for longer. Never deal with a cloudy or obscure badge holder again - at least not until the badge has outlived its useful lifespan.

• Eco-friendly materials:

Another great benefit of our PureClear^TM EVA badge holders is that these materials are more eco-friendly than some of the other plastics and polymers that are used to make clear badge holders. It won’t just stay clearer for longer - which means that it won’t get tossed and clutter up a landfill before its time - but it will also not have as harmful an impact on the environment as some alternatives!

Together with our lanyards for name badges, these badge holders will stand up to hard use; they’re durable and reliable, and made from high quality materials. Still, they only represent a small portion of our overall catalog of products. Here are some of the other high quality professional accessories that we offer, and how they can make a difference through quality or function.

Badge Talkers

Our badge talkers represent another set of helpful professional badge accessories that complement and enhance the value of your professional name badges. They take the form of any of a variety of attachments that you can add onto your employees plastic name tags, advertising their ability to speak another language, informing customers that they are undergoing training, wishing customers a seasonal greeting, and more - you decide.

Here’s how they can promote customer engagement and enhance the value of your customer interactions.

• Engage customers

Our badge talkers make it easier than ever before to engage customers, and to provide information that otherwise might not be offered or elicited. A badge talker affixes right to the front of a name badge and fronts whatever you want to offer to your customers.

• Create a memorable experience

Since badge talkers create a striking and unique display for each of your employees’ name badges, they enable you to create better, more memorable experiences with your customers, with each and every interaction.

• Advertise employee skill sets or multilinguality

Some of the most tangible value of badge talkers comes from their ability to advertise some of your employees’ unique skills. Let’s say you have an employee who is in training and you’d like your customers to know to keep them better informed. You can put that front and center on that employee’s badge.

At other times, you might want to advertise your employees’ multilinguality so as to offer a higher level of customer service and a better experience for your partners or customers. Our badge talkers are available in more than ten languages and can be easily used to demonstrate an employee’s ability to interact easily in another language. This is especially helpful, especially for businesses that serve diverse clients with different native tongues.

• Differentiate your employees

Finally, there is decent subjective value in the fact that badge talkers represent an easy, convenient, even an affordable way to differentiate your employees. Differentiation is one of the keystones of brand value, and a badge talker is a unique, memorable way to differentiate your employees - even if you just want to offer a seasonal greeting or announcement.

Fasteners

Another value that we offer our customers is the value of choice and customization. One of the traits of our customizable name badges that can be customized is how they fasten to your employees’ uniforms. We provide both pin fasteners and magnetic fasteners, each of which has its own unique advantages and disadvantages.

• Pin fasteners: convenient and durable

Pin fasteners are the classic but basic way to affix a name badge to a uniform. They can be easily applied and removed, and provide a surprisingly secure fit to a uniform. It’s also impossible for them to droop or shift on a uniform and are effectively permanent unless they are intentionally removed. They’re secure, convenient, and the classic solution for a fastener for a professional name tag, and removing one, except intentionally, is nearly impossible. However, they’re not absolutely ideal for all types of uniforms or fabrics.

• Magnetic fasteners: fast and easy to use, better for some fabrics

In addition to our pin fasteners, we also provide magnetic fasteners here at Imprint Plus, which are better suited to some types of uniforms or fabrics. Our magnetic fasteners don’t affix permanently to your employees’ uniforms, but instead affix via the aid of powerful rare earth magnets. These can be easily adjusted, removed or replaced, and since they don’t puncture the fabric, are ideal for types of fabrics that are sensitive or expensive.
