What is an engraved name tag?

Laser Engraved, not printed on the surface.

An engraved name tag is made from two-ply engravable material. Names, titles, and logos are laser engraved through the surface layer to reveal a contrasting color underneath.

Since it is engraved into the material rather than printed on, the name does not scratch off or fade with daily wear.

Choose from more than 40 available color combinations and several backing options. Available in 1″, 1.25″, 1.5″, or 2″ tall × 3″ wide. Custom sizes and shapes are available on request.

Frequently asked

Engraved name tags, answered.

What is an engraved name tag, and how is it different from a printed one?
An engraved name tag is made from two-ply laminate, so the name and title are a different color layer of the material itself, not ink on the surface. A full color name tag is printed instead, which is better suited to logo colors or photo-quality graphics.
What sizes are available?
Four standard sizes: 1″, 1.25″, 1.5″, and 2″ tall, all 3″ wide. Custom sizes and shapes are available on request.
How many color combinations are there?
40+. Engraving color and base color are chosen independently and confirmed on the proof.
Can a logo be added to an engraved name tag?
Yes. A logo can be engraved alongside the name and title on the same tag.
What backing options are available?
Magnetic, pin, bulldog clip, or military clutch, and backing can be mixed within one team order by wearer preference. See magnetic backing details →
Should I choose engraved or full color?
Engraved suits clean two-tone text that won't fade or peel. Full color suits printed logo colors or a photo-quality finish. Both take the same backing options and are ordered the same way.
How do I order engraved name tags for a team?
Send a list of names, titles, and your logo if one is used. One layout is approved, the full roster is set to it, and a proof is sent for approval before production. Later reorders match that approved layout without another proof. See general ordering details →
Can I order a replacement tag for one new hire later?
Yes. The approved layout, size, and color combination are kept on file, so a single new tag matches the rest of the team's order.
Is it "name tag" or "nametag"?
Both spellings refer to the same product. "Name tag," as two words, is the more common form.
Are engraved name tags laser engraved?
Yes. Laser engraving is what cuts through the surface layer to reveal the contrasting color beneath, and every order is done in-house in Chico.
