If you make a cognitive raid on dictionaries, then the word "badge" can be explained as "individual information card". This is an element of a work uniform in the form of a card, badge or special sticker, which contains information about its owner.
Scope of application
It is these small cards that are usually present in employees of large offices, representatives of foreign companies, waiters in restaurants, employees of airports, medical workers of medical institutions, etc. This is an obligatory element of uniform for participants in press conferences, seminars, exhibitions, scientific symposia, business meetings and other public activities.
At rather large enterprises, not all employees know each other personally, so the name badges of the employees are simply irreplaceable in order to avoid embarrassing situations. The simplest badges simplify the communication process as much as possible and increase the level of communication among the staff, because with the help of visual memory the necessary information is memorized much faster. In addition, addressing a person by name is a sign of good manners, and having a badge makes it all easier.
What it is
A plastic badge looks like a small business card, which bears the name, surname of the owner, his position, logo and the name of the company or division where he works. Typically, this card is enclosed in a transparent plastic frame with a neck cord or clothing pin. The presence of this simple element relieves the awkwardness of communication, increases loyalty, because the client receives full information about the employee of the company, which makes it easier, if necessary, to file a complaint with the management.
Where to buy a badge
In the price-convenience-quality format, the classic badge is in the lead, the standard size of which is 86x54 mm. The plastic base itself is purchased at any stationery and office supply store or is made to order from the manufacturer. The base is transparent PVC with a density of more than 200 microns. For attaching to clothing, a carabiner, clip, pin or tape are used when worn around the neck.
Today, under the guise of badges, badges can be used, which are made of wood, plastic, metal or other material. Branded badges are much more expensive than classic badges, but at the same time they look more stylish and aesthetically pleasing. They can be attached to clothing with a magnet or puncture. Badges cannot be purchased from the stationery department, they must be ordered from printing companies involved in the production of image symbols.
