Important product information: This product is a magnetic badge fastening kit rather than a fully printed name badge. The adhesive backed component is designed to attach to the reverse of a suitable badge, while the separate magnetic bar holds the badge against clothing.
Magnetic performance depends on the fabric thickness, badge weight and how securely the adhesive mounting component is attached.

Best Uses for Magnetic Name Tags – Who Uses Them and Why?
Magnetic badge fasteners are mainly used in workplaces where staff identification needs to be attached to clothing without using a sharp pin.
Corporate Offices and Business Employees
Offices use magnetic name tags for receptionists, customer service employees, managers and other staff who need to display their name and job title.
The magnetic attachment allows the badge to be positioned on suitable shirts, blouses and jackets without creating pin holes.
This can be useful for employees wearing company uniforms or formal business clothing.
Retail Shops and Customer Service Teams
Retail businesses, showrooms, supermarkets and customer-facing workplaces often use magnetic name badges for employee identification.
Magnetic fastening systems allow the badge to be attached without piercing the fabric.
They are particularly useful where companies want to reduce the wear caused by repeatedly attaching and removing safety pin badges.
Hotels, Restaurants and Hospitality Businesses
Hotels, restaurants, conference venues and hospitality companies regularly use staff name badges.
Magnetic badge accessories can be suitable for:
- Hotel receptionists
- Front desk employees
- Concierge teams
- Restaurant managers
- Customer service personnel
- Event reception staff
- Conference venue employees
They are especially useful for uniforms where traditional safety pins are not preferred.
Schools, Colleges and Educational Organisations
Schools, colleges and universities can use magnetic name badge holders for teaching staff, administrative employees, reception teams and visiting professionals.
They can also be used for staff attending school functions, open days and educational exhibitions.
Magnetic fasteners contain small magnetic components, so they should be kept away from young children and used according to the organisation’s safety requirements.
Conferences, Exhibitions and Business Events
Conference organisers and exhibition companies can use magnetic attachments with compatible printed name badges.
These are particularly suitable for speakers, organisers, exhibitors and corporate representatives wearing business clothing.
Unlike hanging conference lanyards, magnetic name badges can remain positioned directly on the chest.
Printing Companies and Badge Manufacturers
Badge printing companies can use magnetic badge backs when producing personalised name badges for customers.
The adhesive-backed component allows suitable blank or printed badge materials to be fitted with a magnetic fastening system.
This is useful for businesses producing:
- Corporate name badges
- Staff identification badges
- Retail name tags
- Hotel employee badges
- Exhibition staff badges
- Personalised business name badges
For commercial production, always test the adhesive bond and magnet strength with the intended badge material before manufacturing a full batch.
Security and Workplace Identification
A magnetic staff id badge can be useful for displaying a name, photograph or job role on suitable clothing.
However, magnetic name badge fasteners are not an electronic security device and do not replace access control cards, RFID identification or other building security systems.

Related Product – Sublimation Name Badge Blanks
A useful product to consider alongside our magnetic fasteners is our Sublimation Name Badge Blanks.
Sublimation badge blanks allow printing businesses and individuals to create name badges with employee names, business logos and personalised designs.
For badge makers wanting to create blank magnetic name badges, combining a suitable badge blank with a compatible magnetic fastening system can provide an alternative to a safety pin backing.
However, compatibility depends on the badge material, surface coating, thickness and adhesive mounting area.
For sublimation badges, complete all necessary heat pressing and allow the badge to cool before applying an adhesive magnetic fastener.
Do not place the magnetic backing assembly inside a heat press unless its manufacturer specifically confirms it is safe to do so.
Magnetic Name Badge Holders and Our Lanyard Range
Our magnetic badge holders are primarily intended for attaching compatible name badges directly to clothing, so they do not normally require a lanyard.
However, Supplies Hub also stocks Lanyards for businesses and organisations that need other forms of identification.
For example, a hotel may use magnetic name badges for permanent reception staff while providing lanyards and ID card holders for conference delegates.
Similarly, a corporate office may use magnetic staff name badges for customer-facing employees and lanyards for access control cards or visitor identification.
By offering magnetic badge accessories, lanyards, clips and ID card holders, Supplies Hub allows organisations to purchase different identification products from one UK supplier.
Magnetic Name Tags – Top 5 FAQs
- How does a three-magnet name badge fastening system work?
A three-magnet fastening system normally uses two separate components.
The first is an adhesive-backed mounting plate attached to the rear of a compatible name badge.
The second is a magnetic bar positioned behind the clothing.
When the two parts are aligned on opposite sides of the fabric, magnetic attraction holds the badge in position.
The three-magnet arrangement distributes magnetic attraction across the fastening bar, although actual holding strength depends on magnet grade, fabric thickness and badge weight.
For best results, use the fastening system on reasonably flat clothing and avoid excessive pulling on the badge.
- Will magnetic name badge holders damage clothing?
One of the main benefits of magnetic name badges is that they do not require a sharp pin to pass through the fabric.
This helps avoid the small holes commonly caused by traditional safety pin name badges.
However, magnetic attachments can still leave temporary pressure marks on delicate materials, and a badge may slip if the clothing is too thick or the badge is too heavy.
They are generally suitable for many ordinary shirts, blouses, jackets and workplace uniforms, but should be tested before use on delicate or expensive fabrics.
- Can I attach these magnetic badge backs to plastic, acrylic or sublimation name badges?
These magnetic badge backs may be suitable for various badge materials, including some plastic, acrylic and sublimation badge blanks, provided the adhesive bonds properly to the badge surface.
The rear of the badge should be clean, dry, flat and large enough to accommodate the adhesive plate.
Surface coatings, texture, curvature and contamination can affect adhesion.
For sublimation printing, apply the magnetic attachment after the printing process has been completed and the badge has cooled.
Test one sample before using the fasteners for commercial badge production.
- Are magnetic name badge holders safe for everyone to wear?
Magnetic name badge fasteners contain magnets and are not suitable for every person or working environment.
Magnets may interfere with certain implanted medical devices, including pacemakers and implantable defibrillators.
People with these devices should follow the medical device manufacturer’s guidance and seek clinical advice where needed.
Small magnetic components should also be kept away from young children because swallowed magnets can cause serious injury.
Magnetic name badges should not be used in environments where workplace safety rules prohibit magnets or magnetic accessories.
- Are magnetic name badge holders the same as magnetic security tags used in shops?
No. Magnetic name badge holders are designed for attaching identification badges to clothing.
They are not the same as retail anti-theft security tags or electronic article surveillance devices.
A magnetic security tag is typically part of a retail security system and may require a specialist magnetic tag detacher for authorised removal.
Our magnetic name tag kit does not require this type of detacher.
The two components of the badge fastening system are separated manually by holding the badge and moving the backing magnet away from it.
Customers searching for a magnetic tag detacher should not confuse that product with a magnetic name badge fastener.
