AVERYCustomizable Name Badges, 3" x 4", Printable Name Tag Inserts, 100 Per Box, 5 Packs, 500 Name Tag Holders with Cords Total (74459)

This package of badge holders was short 1 holder (contacted Avery to correct this)But included name inserts were the worse ever to tear apart. Not like their usual refills.Be aware if you’re in a time crunch, to not use these papers.

Avery products are top quality. I needed these ASAP. I received them on time (as promised) and they are great!

These worked great for our conference.

I bought this same item 5 years ago for a class reunion and they worked great, so that's why I ordered them again.

I've gotten these badges several times both online and in office supply stores. They are durable and the strings are not the flimsy kind that tangle badly. These strings (lanyard around neck) will tangle but you can wrap string and insert into plastic badge to reuse for regular meetings. They're large enough to write first and last names with pretty large letters (or you can do on computer). I usually do calligraphy to add a special touch.

I have used many name badges before, and these are good and economic.

My company hosts several events per year, and I’ve used these hanging nametags countless times. They can easily be loaded into a printer. Directions are straightforward. No pins or sharp things involved! Microsoft Word even has a mail merge template for pulling data from an Excel spreadsheet of names to generate nametags. The nametags look very professional and are durable enough to last through longer events (everyday use for 2 weeks is the longest I’ve used them). I've only used them for indoor events -- this may be obvious, but they are definitely not suitable for active events involving running/sports! My main criticism is they take time to assemble. Once you properly format the nametags on your computer and print on the paper, you must tear along the perforated lines to remove the nametags from the sheet, then insert them into the plastic holders by hand. Finally, you must string the plastic holders. With many nametags in a pile, the string can become tangled together. Managers take note: if you don’t have 1-2 people on your team to help, this will require time! Especially with a large number of nametags, this is not something that can be done by one person 10 minutes before your event. If you are short on time/people, you may want to consider adhesive nametags. These hanging nametags do look nicer than the adhesive variety, however. Another note: there are 6 nametags per page, so if you make an error on one or accidentally rip it, it seems a bit wasteful to print it on a new sheet, and have to throw away the 5 unused nametags. Once nametags have been torn from the sheet, you cannot reprint on the unused paper. I’ve tried it, and this will jam the printer. Additionally, depending on the printer you have, paper jams and ink smudges can be common. Before printing, make sure you adjust your printer’s settings to tell it you’re printing on thicker paper than ordinary 8.5'' x 11''. Alternatively, you may need to manually feed the paper in, one sheet at a time. Also, make sure you order enough extra nametags in case you make errors. There's nothing worse than being short 1-2 nametags. At the end of an event, I’ve found it useful to have a ‘nametag recycling’ box so I can at least reuse the plastic holders and string next time around. While you can purchase the nametag paper refills separately, the plastic pouches and string must be purchased in a full kit with the paper.

Replacement for old ones. Plastic instead of metal for the lanyard ends.

Amazing

Great, thank you.
