Best Uses for Sublimation Name Badges – Who Uses Them and Why?
Blank sublimation name badges are particularly useful for businesses and individuals who want to create custom identification products rather than purchase ready-printed badges.
Printing Companies and Personalisation Businesses
Commercial printers, sublimation printing businesses and personalised product sellers can use sublimation name badges as a blank product for customer orders.
They are suitable for producing badges with individual names, company logos, job titles and branded designs.
The compact size makes them particularly useful for staff identification and promotional name badges.
Corporate Offices and Businesses
Offices use personalised name badges to help identify receptionists, customer service employees, managers and other staff members.
A printed badge can display the employee’s name, department, role or company logo.
The safety pin fastening allows the badge to be attached to suitable uniforms or work clothing without needing a lanyard.
Retail Shops and Customer Service Teams
Shops, supermarkets, showrooms and customer-facing businesses often use name badges to make staff easier to identify.
Name Badges with Safety Pin are useful for employees wearing uniforms, aprons, shirts and other suitable clothing.
The badge can be printed with the employee’s name, position and company branding.
Schools, Colleges and Educational Events
Schools and colleges can use sublimation badge blanks to produce identification for teachers, support staff, event organisers, volunteers and temporary personnel.
They are also suitable for school functions, open days, educational exhibitions and parent events.
For settings involving young children, check the suitability of safety pin fasteners and consider an alternative attachment where needed.
Healthcare and Medical Workplaces
Hospitals, clinics, dental practices, pharmacies and care organisations can use personalised name badges for staff identification.
Badges can display employee names, job roles and departments.
However, safety pin badges must be appropriate for the workplace’s uniform, infection-control and health and safety policies. Where pins are unsuitable, magnetic or alternative fastenings may be more appropriate.
Trade Shows, Exhibitions and Conferences
Exhibition organisers and corporate event teams can create badges for exhibitors, sales representatives, organisers, volunteers and temporary staff.
Sublimation allows individual designs and names to be produced without requiring a different manufacturing process for every printed name.
Individual and Small Business Projects
Customers making a single personalised badge, creating samples or testing a new printing product can purchase blank badges without committing to a large quantity.
This is particularly useful for small printing businesses, craft sellers and individuals learning sublimation printing.

Related Product – Magnetic Badge Fasteners
Another useful product from our badge accessories range is Magnetic Badge tags.
Although these sublimation name badges come with a standard safety pin back, magnetic fasteners are a popular alternative for other compatible badge systems.
Unlike safety pins, magnetic badge fasteners do not require a pin to pass through the clothing material.
They are commonly used for:
- Corporate name badges
- Retail staff identification
- Hotel and hospitality uniforms
- Reception staff badges
- Office employee name tags
- Professional customer-facing roles
Compatibility note: These badge blanks are supplied with safety pin backs. Magnetic fasteners should only be used if the badge construction allows the original fixing to be changed or a compatible mounting method is available. They are not automatically interchangeable.
Sublimation Name Badges and Our Lanyard Range
Our sublimation pin badges are designed primarily for attaching directly to clothing using the supplied safety pin. They do not normally require a lanyard.
However, Supplies Hub also stocks Lanyards for customers who need other types of identification accessories alongside their printed name badges.
For example, a company may use safety pin name badges for permanent staff while providing lanyards and ID card holders to visitors, contractors or conference delegates.
Printing companies that sell personalised name badges can also offer lanyards as a separate identification product for customers requiring wearable event credentials.
This makes it easier to source several types of badge and identification accessories from one UK supplier.
Sublimation Name Badge Blanks – Top 5 FAQs
- What type of printer is required for sublimation name badges?
These sublimation badges blank products are intended for use with suitable sublimation printing equipment.
You normally need:
- A sublimation printer using sublimation ink
- Compatible sublimation transfer paper
- A heat press suitable for the badge’s shape and material
- A suitable design printed in reverse where the transfer process requires it
An ordinary inkjet or laser printer using standard ink or toner will not produce a true sublimation transfer.
The badge surface must have a compatible sublimation coating to accept the transferred design properly.
- What temperature and pressing time should I use for these sublimation badge blanks?
There is no single temperature or pressing time that is suitable for every sublimation badge blank.
The correct settings depend on the badge’s base material, coating, thickness and the heat press being used.
Because these badges are 3 mm thick, it is particularly important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended pressing instructions.
Do not assume standard ceramic mug, polyester fabric or aluminium sublimation settings are suitable for this product.
Where no verified settings are available, request the specific product’s pressing guidance and test a sample before bulk production.
Also check whether the safety pin backing must be kept outside the heated area or removed before pressing.
- Can I print photographs, logos and full-colour designs on these sublimation badges?
Yes, provided the supplied blanks have a compatible sublimation printable surface, the printing process can be used for text, logos, illustrations and photographs.
These badges can be used to produce sublimation picture tags, employee name badges and personalised identification products.
For best results, artwork should be prepared at the correct physical dimensions and with sufficient resolution.
For example, a 76 x 39 mm design prepared at 300 dpi is approximately 898 x 461 pixels.
Keep important names, text and logos slightly away from the badge edges to allow for positioning and any variation during pressing.
The final colour and print quality will depend on the surface coating, printer settings, transfer paper and heat press conditions.
- Can these blank name badges be used for sublimation ID cards?
These products can be printed with names, photographs, company details and identification information, making them suitable for certain staff and event identification applications.
However, a 76 x 39 mm name badge is not the same size as a standard CR80 plastic ID card, which measures approximately 85.6 x 54 mm.
Customers searching for sublimation id cards should check whether they need a wearable name badge or a standard credit-card-size ID card for use in an access control or card reader system.
These safety pin name badges are not intended as direct replacements for magnetic stripe, chip or RFID access cards unless specifically designed for that purpose.
- Are safety pin name badges suitable for reusable employee identification?
Yes. Name Badges with Safety Pin can be used as regular staff identification where the fixing is suitable for the uniform and working environment.
The standard safety pin allows the badge to be attached to suitable clothing without requiring a separate lanyard or clip.
A safety pin can leave a small hole in fabric, particularly delicate materials, so it may not be the best option for expensive uniforms or clothing that should not be pierced.
For workplaces where pins present a safety risk, consider a suitable alternative badge fastening system.
The badge itself can be worn repeatedly, although sublimation printing is generally intended as a permanent printed design rather than a surface that can be wiped clean and reprinted.
