Wood Name Tags & Conference Badges
Give everyone the recognition they deserve. Your guests and employees will feel special with a name tag that isn’t a cheap, plastic pin or the usual sticker that says, “Hello, my name is.” And imagine their reaction getting a conference badge that isn’t a tacky plastic sleeve on a lanyard.
We offer three styles of name tags and conference badges: magnetic, lanyard, or bolo tie. Great options for conferences, corporate events, retail stores, restaurants, and trade shows.
Wood name tags
Our most popular and cost-effective option are cut by laser from 1/8 inch thick wood with a magnet on the back.
Lanyard style name badges
Perfect for conferences or corporate events. Available in wood or acrylic. Most of our customers sources their own ribbon or straps with clips for the name badges to hang from. (Please note that we do not produce branded straps.)
Bolo tie style name badges
This style of a name badge has a metal clasp on the back that string or rope is threaded through. The allows the badge to be adjusted up or down the length of the string. (Please note that sourcing the hardware for this option has a longer lead time.)

FEATURED CLIENTS:
Julia & Anil’s wedding
With large extended families and multiple friend groups, this bride and groom wanted name tags for their guests… that didn’t feel like name tags. They requested a bolo tie style designed to match their invitations. We produced the wooden pieces and the couple glued them onto the bolo tie hardware to come in under their budget.
CreativeMornings Global Summit
With volunteers flying in from around the world, this organization wanted a wow factor with name badges that also visually communicated what country each attendee was from. They designed a unique bolo tie style with color-coded details. We produced the die-cut, wooden layers and their staff assembled the pieces by glueing them together with rope and felt in between.
