“At Imprint Plus™ we believe that name badges, name badge components, name badge printing software, and corporate ID products, are all sales of an extremely personal nature. We’re in the business of helping individuals and businesses define and communicate their unique identities.

But, despite this, the decision about name badges was historically based on the cost per badge. So, Imprint Plus™ had to strike a balance between quality and cost. Everyone loved the sleek, professional name badges from Imprint Plus™, but the system also had to be affordable in order to win over customers.”n
