What is the Gloss Oval Plastic Name Badge?
Item UN5532 is a name badge in plastic, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 1/16".
In practice: plastic is the value option: light, unbreakable and the lowest cost per impression in most giveaway programs..
Badges are the most-read piece of branded material an organization produces. On this substrate specifically: pad printing and screen printing are standard; some substrates accept UV printing.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $3.70 each at 1-11, $2.29 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 1.5 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.
Best for
Pens, plastics and small compound-curved items.
Color
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.
Best for
Bags, apparel and high-volume runs.
Color
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.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.

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.
1
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. The name badge format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. At $3.70 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
2
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
3
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. Plastic is the value option: light, unbreakable and the lowest cost per impression in most giveaway programs.. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
4
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Seasonality drives the order pattern. Terraces, patios and outdoor service create demand for a different specification than winter trade does, so most venues need two lists rather than one annual order. Volume is the point at $3.70; nobody is auditing this line item.
5
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Easy-clean surfaces, no small detachable parts, and legible large-format personalization all matter. Staff appreciation is a genuine retention lever in this sector, and a good piece of drinkware or desk recognition costs a fraction of replacing a nurse. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.

What do buyers ask about UN5532?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. UN5532 sells from a single unit at $3.70, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
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.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
How is this decorated?
Pad Printing is the primary method on UN5532. A silicone pad lifts ink from an etched plate and transfers it to the product. 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 UN5532 is 1.5 in x 1 in.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
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.
What is the minimum order for UN5532?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on UN5532. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on UN5532 runs from $3.70 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.29 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
