Identify Your Business with Nameplates

Nameplates are important for businesses throughout Oregon that seek to identify their products and personnel for their customers. Typically rectangular, nameplates can come in many different shapes, sizes or designs to suit your needs. Nameplates are different from tags worn on a person’s clothing to identify them personally. Instead, they are utilized to identify a person by placing a nameplate on an office door, cubicle, or other workspace. They can also be used to identify products or brand names.

Office Nameplates



Most nameplates used for an individual’s office will bear the person’s name and title below it. The most commonly used materials for nameplates of this type include plastic, wood or various metal finishes such as brass, stainless steel, aluminum or copper.

Nameplates often contain a person’s title but this is not necessary. In some cases, it is advisable to use only a person’s name without a title. Excluding the title is advantageous for those who may be changing titles frequently due to promotions or some other reason. In those cases, a simple approach may be the best approach. This also lends an appearance of consistency throughout an organization.

On the topic of consistency, it is very important that all nameplates are uniform in size and design. In some cases, the style of nameplates can be varied with artistic license if your brand involves elements of creativity and flair, but for most businesses, consistency is important.

Personal Nameplates

Nameplates are not relegated to the business environment. Personal nameplates can be a fun way to add a personal touch to your children’s decor and with the right design and materials, your child’s nameplate for their room can remain a keepsake for many years to come. Fun shapes such as animals, balloons or anything that interests your child can be a great way to brighten up your hallways at home.

Vanity style nameplates are a great way for adults to show off their most prized possessions. Whether you are into fast cars or antiques, a custom nameplate is a great way to identify you with your passions. Nameplates can even be created as jewelry to be worn.

Proper Nameplate Display

Typical nameplates for office doors or walls will involve two separate parts. The first is the nameplate itself and the second component involves a holder that is designed for ease of removal and replacement of a nameplate. Standardization is a key feature in a business setting when you consider that changes can occur over time.

When it comes to product related nameplates, mounting options are also an important consideration. Because the nature of many Oregon products can change seasonally, or even weekly, it is important to utilize a nameplate mounting design that allows for quick and easy changeovers with minimal labor or cost involvement. The content of the nameplate must also be considered. Product nameplates may need to contain specific data related to that product such as size, weight, and price. There must be sufficient room for this information in addition to the ease of changeover previously mentioned.
