We’ve revised our sample request process to provide you with more control of the products you’d like to sample. Our old sample request package contained 3 of our name tag styles (hot-stamped, engraved and printed) and a stamped ribbon. Though it showcased some of our capabilities, it was limited only to these items.

The new sample request page still provides you with the ability to request the standard package but has now also been expanded to allow you to request products from all of our major product lines: name tags, ribbons, lanyards, name plates, and badge holders – select up to 4 different products.

We’ve also changed our shipping service from First Class Mail to Priority Mail, so now your sample request package should arrive much sooner – typically in 3 to 4 business days. Unfortunately, at this time, we are not able to provide samples outside of the United States.

So stop by the Sample Request page and give it a try!

*Please note: We have a variety of pre-designed samples that will be selected to best match your request; however, customized samples (customized with your name, logo, company, etc.) will not be sent out.

The reusable Mighty Badges now come with the option to add a preprinted logo. While you can still print your company’s logo onto each individual insert, a preprinted logo offers more flexibility and richer colors than most printers can produce. The preprinted logo also saves you time and effort, since you no longer have to worry about adding a logo to each insert.

The dye sublimated process used to print the logo allows for gradient printing, thereby allowing you to print a photo or a combination of colors. This process, however, does not allow for the printing of the color white – any areas of the plate that are not sublimated will remain the default color of the metal plate.

The cost to print your logo, per badge, is $0.80 as well as a $60.00 setup charge. These costs however don’t change, regardless of the number of colors present in the logo. Production time is 5 days after your proof has been approved.

Due to the increase of flexibility and control with WordPress, Name Tag, Inc. has decided to switch blogging platforms. Our old blog, powered by Blogger – http://www.nametag.com/blog.shtml – will now be redirected to this site.

Instead of maintaining two separate blogs – nametagexperience.com will now be the one-source for all Name Tag, Inc. related announcements…whether they be web site updates or experiences/stories shared by our clients.

So check back frequently to stay up-to-date on our new products, specials and name tag experiences.

Hello to everyone at NameTag and other friends on the Experience

Gamers For Humanity has been busy, so I’ve got a report to give and a project to announce.

Over the holiday season, we had a very successful Holiday Game Drive in Iowa. From November into December, we collected over $1000 worth of games and toys for the kids and families at the Iowa City Ronald McDonald House, as well as over 300 pounds of food for the Johnson County Crisis Center (an organization that provides a wide range of services for the poor and troubled of the area).

It was a remarkable experience to see the generosity of people. We used drop boxes for this event, which was new for us. People are usually happy to donate when there’s a person standing there, but drop boxes? Well, they worked, people were generous, and the results were great.

 

Secondly, we have coming up next month our biggest annual project, a week-long work trip to New Orleans, rebuilding houses for people affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita (back in 05…yep, plenty of people are still homeless over 3 years later).

Last year we brought 9 people down for the week. This year…we have TWENTY people volunteering. We are also bringing down over 11,000 pre-packaged meals, donated by Kids Against Hunger’s Iowa chapter, to be distributed to food banks in the New Orleans area. This is working up to be a great week, and I’ll post pictures and details when we’re done, so remember to check back here, or check our website at www.gamersforhumanity.org.

Hello everyone.

I have been seriously remiss in posting this update, and I apologize to everyone at Nametag, Inc. In my defense, we have just completed a very busy Holiday Game Drive, collecting hundreds of pounds of food and over $1000 worth of games and toys for Iowa City charities. So…we’ve been busy.

In August, Gamers For Humanity attended the Gen Con game convention in Indianapolis, IN–four days of games, gaming, and good people. We, however, spent a fifth day working with Habitat For Humanity, and the other four days fundraising at our booth in the Exhibitor’s Hall. We organized our first Game Drive there, collecting games and toys for the Indianapolis Ronald McDonald House, and the Wheeler Mission Ministry of Indianapolis. It was a big success, enough to make us decide to hold this recently finished drive for the holiday season.

We also collected enough donations at the convention to pay for our federal 501(c)3 application, so that status is now pending.

Nametag, Inc was gracious enough to provide us with some excellent-looking badge ribbons for the convention, and I know for a fact that those ribbons really helped us establish our presence to the gaming community in our first year of existence. Gamers love badge ribbons, and our shiny blue ribbons were coveted by a lot of people. Luckily, we had a lot to go around

We were so busy at the booth that we don’t have a lot of pictures ourselves, but here are a few. I’m waiting for more pictures to come in, and I’ll post them when they arrive.

Hardhats and Gamers!

We were also able to use some of the leftover ribbons at a non-profit conference in October, to help spread the word about our mission. So the folks at Nametag have helped us in more ways than one.

I hope the rest of you are finding success in your missions as well. Visit us at our website, www.gamersforhumanity.org, and check back here as well for more updates on our projects.

The 18th Annual “A Night With the Stars” event presented by EnergySolutions in sponsorship for the American Lung Association of Utah was held on Thursday, August 21, 2008 at La Caille in Sandy Utah.  We want to thank the many sponsors and donors who contributed money and auction items to this years event.  It was a huge success due in part to their generocity.  We also recognize the the many volunteers who dedicated so much time and energy to help make this event a success- we couldn’t do it without them. 

We had a wonderful turnout at this years event.  We were excited to have nearly 500 guests, including many prominent individuals from our community who willingly hosted several of the corporate tables- each providing a unique experience for their guests.  We look forward to the 2009 “A Night With the Stars” with  with excitment and anticipation for making it the best year ever! 

Each August, the American Lung Association of Utah holds its celebrity dinner, A Night with the Stars. The event is held at Utah’s premier French restaurant, La Caille. A silent auction is held before dinner where all proceeds benefit the ALAU. This year’s auction items include furniture from Tai Pan Trading, restaurant gift certificates, hotel stays, and more odds and ends from Utah’s top retailers.

Celebrities from around Utah come and participate in the event. This year Miss Utah for 2007-08 will be attending along with college and professional sports figures, and TV and radio personalities. We look forward to our celebration and its mission to help fight lung disease.

The mission of the American Lung Association is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health. The ALA is the oldest voluntary health organization in the United States. Founded in 1904 to fight tuberculosis, the ALA today fights lung disease in all its forms, with special emphasis on asthma, tobacco control and environmental health. The Lung Association is funded by contributions from the public, along with gifts and grants from corporations, foundations and government agencies. The ALA achieves its many successes through the work of thousands of committed volunteers and staff.

The American Lung Association of Utah (ALAU) is part of the Southwest Region that includes Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. The ALAU has an asthma camp for children, NOT designed to help teenagers stop smoking, a Freedom From Smoking Facilitator Training to provide businesses with tobacco-free training, the Workplace Tobacco Policy where we push for more smoke-free workplaces and even working to reduce air pollution.

We have three main fundraisers Asthma Walk in the spring, Night with the Stars in August, and Tackle the Tower in February.

HEART Therapeutic Riding & Equine Rescue is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that provides horsemanship activities for indidividuals with disabilities that foster spiritual, recreational, physical and emotional benefits. We operate solely by volunteers and donations. Our sessions run from late May until early October and are weekly.

We are always looking for sponsors and all donations are what keep us up and running.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our organization. If you would like to make a donation, please make checks payable to HEART Therapeutic Riding. We are located at 139 South Maysville Road, Transfer, PA 16154 and our phone number is (724) 646-0538. Our website is www.hearttherapeuticriding.com.

This year HEART is having a Horse Show for our riders. The tentative date is set for Saturday, October 4th, 2008. We would like to thank Nametag, Inc. for donating our riders rosette ribbons.

Gamers For Humanity is dedicated to providing gamers (people who play games of any kind–video games, role-playing games, board games, card games, dice games, word games, etc) with opportunities for volunteer work in their local communities and around the country.

We have focused our energies so far on providing games and toys for adults and children in need, and on helping to provide housing for those who have trouble affording a roof of their own over their heads. We have worked with Habitat For Humanity, we are currently organizing a game drive for several childrens’ organizations, and we will be organizing a yearly trip to New Orleans to assist the wonderful people down there with the ongoing rebuilding following hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Gamers For Humanity is new and growing, currently pursuing our 501(c)3 registration with the IRS. We have received support from a number of companies, NameTag, Inc. included, and we are extremely grateful. Drop us a line if you’re interested in what we’re doing, or if you think we can help you.
