Custom Hospitality & Retail Badges

For hospitality and retail industries, having clear and readable name badges is a worthy investment. Not only does it improve the customer and patron experience, but it keeps your brand front-of-mind throughout the duration of their visit.

At Make Badges, we offer a wide range of custom name badge solutions for restaurants and hospitality staples, as well as retailers big and small. If you have any questions about our custom hospitality and retail badges, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.

Custom Badges for Restaurants, Clubs, Bars & Hotels

No matter the hospitality setting you operate in, custom badges can add that extra touch of style. From understated name badges with sleek finishes to punchier full-colour offerings that fit perfectly within a tropical themed bar, we’ve got something to suit every setting. 

Visible Brand Identification Across All Employees

Branding is essential to all businesses, and having it included on every employee name badge keeps it front-of-mind for your patrons and customers. But it also eliminates confusion, as (for example) a restaurant located inside of a hotel may have a different set of employees who aren’t explicitly part of hotel staff. Visible branding improves the entire experience for employees, customers, and patrons alike.

Professional Hotel Name Tags & Restaurant Badges

Hotels and restaurants tend to aspire to specific styles and aesthetics that accentuate quality and class. From the attire worn by staff to the finishes of interior design, a cohesively professional look goes a long way. Our name badges offer a number of ways to match the style of your hotel or restaurant, including premium looking finishes such as brushed gold and brushed silver.

Personalised Name Badges for Small Businesses & Retailers

Improve the customer and employee experience by investing in eye-catching name badges - or heighten the visibility of special sales and promotions with customised promotional badges.

Names Badges for Customer-Facing Staff

For smaller businesses and retailers, it’s always best to ensure your staff have their names visible to customers. It humanises the experience and also allows customers to know exactly who helped them out with a question or concern. You can also include additional information such as pronouns and job title.

Promotional Badges for In-Store Sales

Another great use is for raising awareness of special promotions during in-store sales. You can easily design promotional badges and have them ready for a special sales period with short turnaround times by utilising Rush Production and express shipping. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to make custom badges?

The cost of producing your custom badges will vary depending on the size of the badges you opt for, any add-ons (such as a resin dome), and the quantity of badges you’ll be ordering. 

All of our custom name badges include bulk order savings, meaning that the more you purchase of the same badge type (even if it has different designs), the cheaper the per-unit cost will be. An additional fee applies when requesting Rush Production.

The good news is that you can order as many or as few badges as you want. So, whether you need one badge or 10,000 badges, we can make it happen. And whatever amount you do order, our prices remain competitive and transparent every step of the way.

Can I customise the branding on my badge?

Absolutely. All of our name badges and custom badges allow you to include your branding. This can easily be done via our on-site Design Studio, which you can launch from the respective product page. 

This allows you to include branding, adjust colours (our full colour name badges offer the most versatility here), and present staff names in whichever manner feels fitting for your business. Whether you’re in hospitality or retail, you can create a custom look for your badges that stand out.

Is it better to use reusable name tags or standard name badges?

The answer to this question really depends on the nature of your business, how you want to present it to people, as well as the general turnover of your staff. It’s not uncommon for restaurants, bars, and cafes to have relatively regular employee turnover, so for these it could be worth investing in reusable name badges so that the only thing that needs to be replaced is the paper insert of the employee name.

For hotels, it’s a good idea to opt for standard name badges with a professional finish so that customers feel that sense of class and luxury during their stay. 

In the retail space, this again depends on how you want to present your business. If the focus of your store is affordability and savings for customers, reusable name badges can be more befitting. But if your retail space is a department store selling high-end fashion and tech brands, then a sophisticated name badge with a brushed silver or gold finish will be the better-suited option.
