Plastic Name Tags

Reusable plastic name tags identify university personnel on or off campus. In order to produce, review the following:

  • Step 1: Select a licensed vendor to produce your name tags and request a quote.
  • Step 2: Send the vendor the name tag template below and list of names with appropriate details.
  • Step 3: Request a proof from the vendor. If everything looks correct, ask your vendor to submit the proof to the Brand Manager online portal. This is an artwork approval system provided by UB's licensing agent, CLC. Only licensed vendors have access to this system, they know what this is and how to use it.
  • Step 4: Receive written approval from UB's Trademarks and Licensing team and move forward with the name tag purchase. When approval is granted in Brand Manager, the vendor is notified immediately, and the trademarks team will send you a copy of approval via email for your records.
