  • 1.  Name Tags, What other options besides laser engraved versions.

    Posted 14 days ago

    Hello All,

    I have looking to expand my name tag offerings. Currently I offer all things laser engraved. Wood, Acrylic, Plastic and Stainless steel. I would like to know however if I can introduce some other options, maybe some easy to create full colour options, like what was possible when Punch N Press name tags were an option.

    Looking forward to some direction.

    Daryl.

    Sublimation and UV-cure ink printing are both excellent options to add full color to your offerings.  To kick it up a notch and to add durability to your name badges, look into UV-cure resin or epoxy doming.  This process is such a nice add-on to offer and is a very easy sell.

    Thanks David,

    I have been thinking about this. Even to start on a small scale.

    Who would you suggest I start talking to about this?

    I agree with David - sublimation has been a staple for us. BUT now with UV printing so accessible -the shapes and options are endless!!  Any of us would be happy to give you ideas of what we've been doing. Let us know.

    That's amazing Megan thank you,

    I would love that. I have a local bank that is inquiring about name tags and I want to provide them more options than my laser engraving direction.

    Currently looking at JDS and seeing what they offer.

    Daryl.
