The Multiple Roles Of Blank Name Tags

By Timothy Robinson


The world today is one in which fast-paced and commercial activities are commonplace. All these activities are made more manageable when attendees and participants are easily identifiable. Blank name tags are useful in both corporate and social functions for this purpose. In these environment they help to keep things organized and easy to understand.

Name cards may be custom crafted or commercially prepared. They sometimes boast a hidden pin in the back which makes it easy to attach them to clothing. Sometimes adhesive is used instead. Some tags are designed to mimic identification badges, making it easy to affix and remove them as necessary.

These cards are customizable which makes them great for a wide range of purposes. Even though they are mostly used for identification purposes they serve other functions as well. This is why many event planners are starting to include them in their list of must haves for their projects.

They are often used at events such as high school reunions. Business meetings also feature these identification tools. They help to provide identification when official name tags are short in supply. This sometimes happen when last minute confirmations occur. When people show up without prior confirmation, or when they confirm after the name tags have already been produced, the need for this sort of alternative emerges. These labels also serve as a back up plan when oversights are discovered. In cases where some guests have been overlooked in the name tag creation process for instance, the blank ones can be used to fill the gap.

The fact that they are also so very flexible, makes them attractive to persons who plan and manage events. One way to use them creatively is to have the event's theme displayed on them. This creates a sense of unity and uniformity for the event.

These identification tools are not restricted to use as badges for people. They can also be used to label rooms. This is a non-conventional use that many event coordinators have discovered for the tags. Events with concurrent activities staking place in different rooms are managed better in this way. Guests and participants are able to move around to the appropriate sections of the venue when accurate labels are visible.

Display items can also be labeled by these tools. They are popularly used at food display functions such as culinary festivals and buffet stations. Technology shows also feature these handy labels which are used to inform patrons of the names of the gadgets on display.

Labels like these are likely to remain relevant in the event planning and management business for years to come. This is so because their usefulness is constantly being revised and reinvented. There are cases, for instance, when the cards are used to facilitate team activities. In these cases event managers color code the tags or affix them with group names. Teams then get together based on the color or name on their name cards. As event planners and managers get more creative in their use of these labels, the purpose and relevance will also change.
