The EcoScore is our own assessment of the material’s environmental footprint, on a scale of 1 to 5. It says nothing about the quality, and the material must be recycled under the right conditions.

Frequently asked questions about PVC name badges
How do you attach a PVC name badge?
There are two versions available to order. The badge with a magnet attaches itself through the fabric, so it won’t leave a hole in a shirt or cardigan. The badge with a pin and clip is the classic solution for a lapel, a pocket or a collar.
Can these name tags be worn outdoors?
Yes. PVC film is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, is water-resistant, and the cards do not tear. That is why they are used, amongst other things, by construction firms, where staff take their badges outdoors with them all day long.
Are PVC name badges PVC-free?
No, the name says it all. These badges are printed on PVC film, which, according to the product data sheet, is not PVC-free and has an Ecoscore of 1. If you are looking for something PVC-free, mirror vinyl in silver or gold is an option for indoor use, with a lifespan of 2 years as stated in the product data sheet.
What is the difference compared to plastic cards?
A name badge is a badge that is worn visibly on a person’s clothing and therefore requires a fastening. A plastic card is a card the size of a bank card, designed to be carried in a wallet or used in a card reader.
Which thickness should I choose?
We print on PVC film in thicknesses of 0.3, 0.5 or 0.7 mm. The thickness best suited to your badge depends on how it is attached and how often it is worn. Please specify the intended use when making your enquiry, and we will advise you on which film to choose.
Can it have a glow-in-the-dark or reflective print on it?
Yes. As well as standard full-colour printing, we can use varnish, reflective ink, fluorescent ink, phosphorescent ink and mirror ink. The latter creates a metallic effect without the card actually being made of metal.
Can I order another set later for new staff members?
Yes, and that’s one of the reasons why we keep a record of the make-up of your order. Any subsequent batch will be printed on the same film, in the same format and with the same fastening, so that old and new badges look identical when placed side by side.
Does Creafor produce these badges, or are they supplied?
We produce and deliver name badges, but do not install them. Every weekday, finished goods are dispatched as agreed, to destinations throughout Europe. If you have a tight deadline for an event, please let us know when you make your enquiry.
What is the largest size?
The film comes in sheets measuring up to 70 by 100 cm, but a name badge is still roughly the size of a bank card. Any larger and it becomes awkward to carry.
What is the minimum order quantity?
From a certain quantity. For a workforce or a conference, it’s a bulk order, and the price per badge drops significantly.
What about the environmental aspect?
PVC film scores 1 out of 5 and is not PVC-free. For a badge that can be discarded after a day, a fabric sticker or a cardboard tag is the most economical choice.
Description PVC name badges
Do your staff need to be easily recognisable at reception, or is your team attending a trade fair next month? PVC name badges are just the thing for this, and Creafor manufactures them in-house in Lokeren. A badge is put on and taken off, occasionally falls on the floor and is taken outdoors, so a name in a paper sleeve won’t last long. PVC film is water-resistant and won’t tear, and the cards are cut to size with rounded corners as standard. The ordering module offers two options: a badge with a magnet and a badge with a pin and clip. If you’d prefer the badge to hang from a lanyard, please see lanyard display. If you’re looking for a card to keep in your wallet, then you’ve come to the right place at plastic cards.
