Hot on the heels of our showcases on personalised keyrings and industrial signage, we’d like to showcase one of our most popular products – name badges! We’ve been making name badges here in Perth for over a century – since family patriarch Charles Sheridan first set up a workshop behind his Florence Street residence in West Perth way back in 1913. During the second half of the 20th century, name badges were an obligatory part of the sports uniform for lawn bowling clubs across Australia. We made thousands of them. During school holidays, the young Sheridan sons would make handsome pocket money engraving hundreds of name badges at 20 cents a pop. Today we still put the same commitment and passion into our work.
Who uses name badges and why?
Any business or organisation interacting with the public should be interested in name badges. They’re a perfect way for people outside the organisation to identify staff members, and to clarify their role. They instil confidence: when you see someone with a name badge, you know at a glance who they are and what they do. Whether it’s the childcare worker you’re entrusting your child’s care to, or the specialist taking care of your health, a name badge is a reassuring sight.
Name badges make for a much more personal and reassuring experience for clients when connecting with staff. The ability to easily address a staff member by name adds to the positive experience any organisation should be aiming to achieve. And no more senior moments forgetting a name! Clients feel more relaxed and calm.
Name badges aren’t just about identifying who you are to your patients, they also show clients that your staff are proud to work here and that they are a valued and permanent member of your business or organisation.
