Depending on the style, we use one of two processes.  Laser engraving for plastic name tags and sublimation engraving for metal name tags.  You can learn more here:

The standard size for a name tag is 1.25″ x 3.” 

Proper etiquette in the United States is to wear your name tag on the right hand side of your shirt.  If your shirt or blouse has a pocket, it is to be worn just above the seam.

We usually complete name tag orders within 24 hours of the order being placed.  Large orders may require more time.
