What is the Gloss White 1-Sided Aluminum Rectangle Name Badge?
Catalogued as UN4461, this name badge sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 3" x 1 1/2". This is the gloss white colorway.
Aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Badges are the most-read piece of branded material an organization produces. Laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic 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: $4.25 each at 1-11, $2.64 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.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
Dye Sublimation
Heat converts solid dye to gas, which bonds into a polyester coating or ceramic glaze. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
Best for
Full-wrap photographic decoration on mugs, coated drinkware and coated metal.
Color
Full color. Cannot print white. The substrate supplies white.
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
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Staff identificationSpecified regularly for staff identification. The imprint area at 1.5 in x 1 in is sized for exactly that job.
ConferencesBuilt for conferences. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Hospitality and retail teamsBuilt for hospitality and retail teams. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
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
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. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
2
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At $4.25 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
3
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. Badges are the most-read piece of branded material an organization produces. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
4
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. Laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic printing. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
5
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Local operators will source their own if the approved path is slower or costlier than the alternative. The way to hold brand consistency is to make the compliant option the easy one, with stocked items and fixed pricing. The name badge format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Volume is the point at $4.25; nobody is auditing this line item.

What do buyers ask about UN4461?
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on UN4461 is 1.5 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.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. UN4461 measures 3" x 1 1/2" and is made of aluminum. Aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on UN4461 runs from $4.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.64 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on UN4461 as standard. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run Dye Sublimation and UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on UN4461 is 1.5 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.
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.
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 1.5 in x 1 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
What is the minimum order for UN4461?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on UN4461. 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 UN4461 runs from $4.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.64 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
