Badgetec Declares The Ubiquitous "Event" Name
Badge Is Definitely Not Going Out-of-style
1888 Press Release - Event and Meeting Name
Badges were invented during the1940s and are
still widely used today. Besides displaying the
individual's name that others use for
introductions, badges provide a visible
authorization for administration purposes. Name
badges are becoming more important in the 21st
century because of visually readable codes like
QR Codes. NEW CITY, NY - The mundane name badge
for meetings, events or tradeshows may seem like
a dull subject, but its functionality very
important. And you personally may have
experienced this while at an event without
nametags or at an event where the names are
printed too small to read! The person who printed
the badges left all that empty blank space with
the names printed in miniscule 10-point
type! Name badges were invented during the 1940
as visitor badges for government and military
buildings, but they were immediately adapted
after WWII for the developing tradeshow and
conference industries. Basically, name badge
serve two purposes, most important to display the
individual's name so others will know who they
are. Secondly, they provide an authorization
document for the event (like a ticket or for
security coding purposes). Name badges have
remained just as functional in recent times and
maybe even more so. With the development of
computer printers, name badges can clearly
display graphics, names and titles so they can be
easily read from a distance (large fonts). In
fact, events meetings are characterized as
"face-to-face activities" simply because you
actually do talk to real people, not just to a
flat screen.
Name badges may even become more important in the
21st centaury. First of all, badges have two
sides and valuable event information (as well as
contact emergency info) can be printed on the
backside, not to mention advertising as an
additional profit center! Also, computer readable
barcodes like QR Codes are now frequently printed
on event and tradeshow name badges for
communication purposes - low cost, easy-to-use, a
sales aid.

There is no question that issuing "quality" name
badges requires some training and skill. When you
assign an "untrained intern" to make the name
badges for an event, one often ends up with
unreadable tags (printed too small, light colors,
too much text) as well as badges that hang too
low to be read or even hang backwards. We need
not mention the cockeyed angles for adhesive
sticker badges. In the end, there are
instructions and rules for making truly
professional name badge. Badgetec has developed
a new category of Name Badges and wearable
Personal Tags that attach to ones clothing with a
new "paperclip-like" clip. Called the Contour
Clip, its clothing-safe and it clips over an
edge of the collar, lapel or pocket. The badges
are printed on die-cut sheets with a slot in each
badge to eliminate the plastic holders. They are
eco-friendly cardstock (or stylish white
polyester) which makes them lighter weight and
remain aligned perfectly. Being the first new
clothing attachment is almost 100 years, the
recently issued patents emphasize delicate
clothing-safety, comparing this new attachment to
early pins and alligator clips when fabrics were
less delicate (pre-1960 wools and cottons).
