What is the 3-Post Blue Plastic Magnetic Name Badge Attachment?
3-Post Blue Plastic Magnetic Name Badge Attachment. A magnet in plastic, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 1/2" x 1 3/4". This is the blue colorway.
Plastic is the value option: light, unbreakable and the lowest cost per impression in most giveaway programs. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
It lands on the refrigerator, which is the most-looked-at surface in most homes, and it stays there for years. Pad printing and screen printing are standard; some substrates accept UV printing.
This sits in the giveaway tier, where the job is reach: enough units to hand one to everyone who walks past the table, at a cost per impression low enough that nobody has to justify it line by line. Concretely: $1.45 each at 1-11, $0.90 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 1 in x 1 in.
Pad Printing
A silicone pad lifts ink from an etched plate and transfers it to the product. Clean printing on curved and irregular surfaces.
Pens, plastics and small compound-curved items.
Spot colors.
Screen Printing
Ink is pushed through a mesh stencil, one screen per color. Dense, opaque color that holds up to washing and handling.
Bags, apparel and high-volume runs.
Spot colors, typically up to 4.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.

Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Construction, Trades & Field Services
On a job site, an item survives or it disappears. The item has to survive a truck bed in July and a tailgate in January. Thermal performance and impact resistance are the specification; everything else in this segment is decoration on top of that. Plastic is the value option: light, unbreakable and the lowest cost per impression in most giveaway programs.. Down to $0.90 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
Automotive & Dealerships
Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. A keychain, a tumbler or a desk piece handed over with the keys attaches itself to that memory. Service-department giveaways work on a different logic, frequency, not sentiment, so unit cost matters far more there. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Shift work changes the specification. Items are carried between home, locker and ward, so anything that leaks, breaks or cannot go through a dishwasher gets abandoned within a fortnight regardless of how good it looked at the point of purchase. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. At $1.45 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Artwork drift is cumulative and invisible until it is severe. A locked file held centrally against each item number, rather than a logo emailed between locations, is what stops forty sites gradually producing forty logos. An imprint area of 1 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. The gift is competing with a move, which is the least receptive moment in a person's year. Something that gets unpacked in the first week and used immediately beats something beautiful that stays in a box until the boxes are finally dealt with. Volume is the point at $1.45; nobody is auditing this line item.

What do buyers ask about MP323?
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
How is this decorated?
We run pad printing on MP323 as standard. Clean printing on curved and irregular surfaces. We can also run Screen Printing and UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on MP323 is 1 in x 1 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on MP323 is 1 in x 1 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on MP323 runs from $1.45 a piece at 1-11 down to $0.90 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on MP323 is 1 in x 1 in.
What is the minimum order for MP323?
MP323 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on MP323 runs from $1.45 a piece at 1-11 down to $0.90 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on MP323 is 1 in x 1 in.
