Trade fair name tags
Our next project for EFEN was personalised logo name tags for the Energetab trade fair. A card with any name can be slid into the name tags, so the client can also use them at future industry events.
The name tags were attached with a strong neodymium magnet.
From design to finished product

Technical details
The white raised logo was made with UV print directly on the blue 3D base. The name card slides in from the side through a 1 mm slot, so it’s easy to replace.

A name tag with an interchangeable name – how did we do it?
- Challenge
A trade fair name tag that lasts longer
The name tags were made for the Energetab trade fair. A classic name tag with a printed name is single-use – after the event you’re left with a box of badges, each matching one specific person and one specific event.
On top of that, there was a requirement related to clothing – the name tag was to go on company jackets and sweatshirts that couldn’t be pierced with a pin.
- Solution
A window for an interchangeable card and a magnet instead of a pin
In the body of the name tag we left a window for a name card, which slides in from the side through a 1 mm slot. So the name is interchangeable and the name tag itself reusable – the same piece will serve the next industry event once the card is swapped.
We placed the EFEN logo on a “tab” extending below the frame, so the logo doesn’t take up space meant for the name or compete with it for attention. The attachment was a strong neodymium magnet on the back, holding the name tag even through thick fabric without piercing the material.
- Result
One set instead of a new set for every trade fair
The client doesn’t have to order name tags before every event – they print new cards and keep the badges. This turns the name tag from a single-use gadget into permanent equipment for the trade fair team.
The magnet solves a problem that is very real with company clothing: the jacket comes back from the fair without a trace of the attachment.
