This is a great, inexpensive way to have the names of prominent workers at our event recognized; however, the last time I used them, I had to tape each clasp insert over the holes to prevent them from popping back out, which had happened to many of us the year prior, causing the badges to fall to the ground. If there is a way to prevent this, then this product would be perfect. I will still buy them anyway, but many other people might not.

There's no easy solution to labeling people at conferences. People seem to prefer these to the kind that pin through your clothes, or sticky ones that may leave a residue. There's enough room to put a small logo and then the name as large as possible for all to see. But I can't run the inserts through my printer. It's so powerful it rips the inserts apart at the perforations. So I have to print on coverstock and then cut them with scissors or with an x-acto knife. This takes up valuable time, and money is wasted on the included inserts which don't get used. [...] The metal ends of the elastic that the badges hang from don't always stay in the holes. Most people can't figure out how the elastic and the badge go together anyway, but once they do they have all sorts of ways to get the two to stay together. I get them back taped up or the elastic knotted up in the back. And the spare elastics knotted up in a bag. Sometimes they hang too low to be read when sitting down. And they end up in your plate during the luncheon. No one likes wearing name badges and if it slips off too often they just won't wear them. So, yeah, far from perfect, but the best solution I've found so far, short of using a thick black marker across the forehead.

Perfect "No excuses" badge

      Comments about Avery� Top Loading Neck Hanging Style Name Badges:

      People always seem to have excuses why they don't want to wear badges: "The pin will ruin my blouse.", "The adhesive will damage my suede jacket.", "The clip doesn't hold the badge on, so it falls off and I lose it.". With the cord that goes around the wearer's neck there can be no more excuses.

      Because everyone must wear a badge, people who are not registered cannot sneak into presentations, musical performances, demonstrations, et cetera, that are part of a larger event. Being able to use a photo means that people cannot "share" badges!

      Comments about Avery� Top Loading Neck Hanging Style Name Badges:

      The name tag holders were great. I really like the shoestring type of cording rather than the elastic that used to be there. Our teens stretched the elastic out at one meeting & we were constantly having to replace them. It was easy to assemble the name tags once they were printed. However we were unable to get the half sheets to print even using the Avery template to set them up. We had bought additional replacement inserts which were full sheets and ended up having to use the additional inserts. So I have mixed feelings about using these again.

        Comments about Avery� Top Loading Neck Hanging Style Name Badges:

        I was doing a conference and was in need of something large enough to display names from quite a distance, but yet have the durability for my team to be able to participate in the activities and for them not to break. The participants were able to clearly identify who the leaders were and this allowed for them to help facilitate our guests getting their needs met. The conference is now over and I will be able to use these same name badges next year and hopefully even more years to come.

                The badge inserts slide into the top of the soft plastic holders. The badge holder is made of vinyl and should be waterproof.

                A:

                For these Avery Top Loading Neck Hanging Style Name Badges, all you need to do to have your logo in the badge is simply print your logo on the micro-perforated badge insert, & slip them inside the top loading badges. Unfortunately Staples does not print on the actual plastic badge itself.

              Last year I got a similar hanging name tag badge. It had a slot in the middle. I was wondering if you by chance have clips that you sell separately that would fit in that slot? The number of the item is Avery #74459. It was called a hanging style Name Badge size was 3 X 4 and consisted of 100 Badges & Cords and 6 inserts per page.

                If you have a multi-purpose tray on your printer (where you place envelopes, etc. to be printed) use that instead of the internal paper tray.
