These hanging Avery name tags are ideal for conferences. The paper inserts of are high quality and will take graphic intensive print jobs easily. The lanyards work great. I ordered four boxes of these, one of which came with tag holders that were slightly warped due to heat. They didn't prevent us from using them, but they didn't look as nice as those in ideal condition. After leaving the warped ones in the sun for an hour they uncreased, which was great. All of the tags looked fantastic, and I would without question use them again.

A note on producing name tags using mail merge: Word 2003 & Word 2007 have no template for these tags! There is a hanging name tag template, but it is only 3 tags per sheet, not the six on each sheet in the package. You will need to download the template from Avery's web page. Avery also offers a free add on to Word (both 2003 & 2007) that makes producing a mail-merge name tag much easier. I highly recommend you down load this free application named "Avery Wizard for Microsoft Office."

The neck sytle badges (a string hangs around the neck) work better than the pin style. You don't worry about making holes to the garment or the pin getting to your finger. But the trade off is that you need to tide double knots for each end of the string after inserting thru the plastic badge holes. Single knot won't secure it. The end of string has a little metal thing for you to turn and make a T-shape. But sometimes it does not totally secure it.

The printing part is very very easy, especially if you know how to do mail-merge from Microsoft excel to word label.

These badges were perfect for our needs. They are a bit softer and more flexible than other badges, an advantage, since some badges are uncomfortable to wear. Best part is the universal use of Avery templates in all Word Processing programs making for a perfect fit!
Would definitely buy again.

Being a conference registration person and having to make up name badge the cost was most important to me. While looking for the product Amazon had the name badges at a cost that was way more reasonable then if I went to the store to purchase the same item. I am very grateful for Amazon assistance in helping me afford the product at a time when cost is everything...!

Very good product, nice size, easy to insert card stock. But be prepared to insert the strings which can take a couple of hours.

These labels worked quite well. I used the Avery Design & Print software because I needed about 150 labels. The software is somewhat basic (which is a good thing) and super easy to use. The only issues I had with the software was when I wanted to re-merge to print a few more labels. Seems that the software saves the merged product, so I had to re-create the product to print more (different badges). All things considered I would rate this a superb product.

I purchased these Hanging Name Badges online for almost 1/2 of the store cost. It is the exact same product that is carried in the office supplies stores.

Avery changed to new cords but I do not care for the new length. It is about 4" longer than the previous ones. I hope it gets changed back to the previous length.

I recommend this product for your next conference or covention!

This is a good product at a great price. I saved about 1/3 over buying this at Office Depot.

Everyone in the club likes not having to use a pin-badge or clip-badge. The hang-badges are the easiest, and doesn't harm the shirt/blouse. We use the Avery program (free) as the software. I am computer savy, but not an expert. The program to set up and use a database of the club members, can be a bit intimating for the new user, but hang with it, and you can figure out how they think. Hope this helps.

Easy to print labels for this. The hanging name badge is much more preferable to a pin-type version which you have to stick through your clothes or even a clip which can still cause damage to clothes.
