Ordering Tips
- You will not receive a proof of your order, so it is extremely important that you provide accurate information including correct spelling for names, titles and divisions.
- Space is limited. If the information is longer than 20-25 characters per line, the
vendor will need to print the information in a smaller size to fit – making it harder
to read. Examples of how to save space include:
- Use Philosophy & Religion Department instead of Department of Philosophy and Religion
- Use History Professor instead of Professor of History
- When deciding what to include, consider where you’ll wear your name badge most often
and what information people need to know in that setting.
- If your information cannot fit within two lines, you may request a third line, but the smaller text size may reduce readability and is not recommended. To request a third line, add a note in the “Comments” section of the online order form, and the vendor will contact you to discuss options.
