What are name plates?

Name plates are small, rectangular pieces of metal, plastic, or wood that bear a person’s name. Custom name plates can be engraved or printed to indicate a person’s name and/or position, such as a teacher’s name for Teacher Appreciation Week. Some engraved name plates are meant to be wall-mounted, while others come with a pedestal holder or stand.

How are name plates used?

They are most commonly used in business settings as identification tags for employees’ desks, but they can also be used for other purposes, such as labeling products or office equipment. There are many different types and styles of name plates available, so it’s important to choose the one best suited for a person’s needs.

What kind of custom name plates are available?

How do I choose the right custom name plate?

When choosing a custom name plate, it’s important to consider the material, style, and design that the person wants. Are shoppers looking for a traditional, classic wood and gold engraved name plate to put on their desk or a more modern wall-mounted name plate with the business logo printed in color?

If they’re purchasing in bulk for a new office building, school, etc., budget might be a deciding factor. Plastic name plates tend to be the most affordable option, but they won’t have the same high-quality look and feel as metal or wood name plates. It’s a good idea to purchase the same style of custom name plate throughout the space to create a consistent, uniform, and professional look.
