subject: 5 Really Good Occasions For A Good Value Name Badge [print this page] Shiny plastic or standard vinyl, hard or flexible, with a safety pin or lanyard attachment - name badges come in all shapes, colors and designs and follow people throughout their entire life. Hardly has a child been born into this world, it is given some sort of a name badge by a caring nurse so that later they can give that baby back to the right parents. Many would agree that in this case the use of a badge is justified by the actual necessity to distinguish among newborns that may look confusingly alike. In many other situations a badge may seem rather excessive although organizers of different official events often insist on it. For those who do not appreciate all the benefits of a good value name badge there are five occasions (apart from the one mentioned above) on which wearing one may come out quite handy.
* In the business world where a slip of the tongue may cost one a position or a contract it is recommended to be extremely careful with the names of one's business partners and bosses. So to be on the safe side during numerous meetings and presentations it makes sense to require the use of name badges. Company staff wearing badges is likely to save their boss the trouble of remembering all the names and at the same time to provide an opportunity of addressing them in a friendly way.
* On public occasions like festivals, concerts and exhibitions a glossy name badge plays a very important role. It is surprising what a difference the right piece of plastic can make. Many more doors are open to those who can boast of possessing a photographer or press-representative badge. So if some lucky person happens to have such a wonderful name badge he or she should not fail to bring it with them.
* Starting the first year at university is always very exciting. It is also often difficult for freshmen to find their way through all administrative procedures or to get to know new people. University staff usually try to make this period easier for them by providing students with name badges and various guides. Students may also find a durable name badge particularly useful on the morning after the party as a source of such valuable information as their names and faculty.
* When school and student years are far behind and there seems to be no need for name badges then out of the blue there comes an invitation to some school reunion. It might make sense to give organizers some hints to order a pack of name badges for the occasion, because it would certainly be a pity not to recognize the former best friend.
* Those who are familiar with the movie ''My Big Fat Greek Wedding'' would agree that even such a seemingly family event as a wedding ceremony may create the need for a good value name badge. All members of the family including the most distant relations feel obliged to congratulate them on this merry occasion in person. Custom name badges will always come to rescue and allow the happy newly married not to learn the names of all cousins and aunts.
This list can be expanded with some more examples but five really good occasions for a good value name badge are vivid enough to persuade anyone of the importance of name badges in modern life.
