You can choose from a Clear Acrylic Nameplate Holder or its counterpart with a green edge that emulates the look of real glass. Both are accentuated with silver standoffs that deliver functionality and an attractive contrast geared to please the eye.

Acrylic Nameplates with Standoffs make a nice addition to any office environment and décor. They give you more flexibility in personalization with interior displays. Our signature Wall Nameplate Sign Holders with standoffs provide a terrific spotlight for custom room inserts, from room numbers and departmental signage to individual names and titles.

Loading an insert in your new Acrylic Nameplate Holder is also a simple process. Once the printing is finished, individual inserts are sandwiched between two acrylic plates. Your new design stays securely in place and the standoffs help seal the deal.

Great looking, easy to install, hardware and perforated card stock included: it’s a complete, turnkey Nameplate kit for a simple do-it-yourself solution. And the result? Exceptional showcases for office names, numbers, titles, and signage. Add clarity and appeal to your workplace with a Clear Acrylic Nameplate and the glass-green version of the Wall Nameplate with Standoffs…for a nice, silvery accent.  

Nameplate Holders Pay Tribute to Administrative Professionals Day

Sure, you need talented workers to build a successful business. And hopefully, wise managers to steer the ship. But who keeps the day-to-day wheels rolling? That would be the more than 3 million secretaries and administrative assistants in the American workforce. To say thanks, the final week of April is Administrative Professionals Week and right in the middle of it, Wednesday the 27th is designated Administrative Professionals Day.

2022 marks the 70^th anniversary of this tribute. The first observance was proclaimed by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer in 1952, originally as National Secretaries Day. The name of the occasion was updated in 2000 to reflect modern job titles and a growing list of responsibilities. This brings us to the present.

This year, the accolades may be the most well-deserved. Juggling the challenges of the pandemic while balancing remote and hybrid teammates – is not an easy task. Even without the past two years’ disruptions, Administrative Professionals have the often-thankless task of being the go-between for staff and management…and support team for both. Or to quote Robert Half Talent Solutions, “…exhibiting grace under pressure while helping employees stay connected, engaged, and productive.”

Robert Half also offers a few ways to show appreciation. Go beyond a card or kind word by telling your admin department just how and how much they help your organization and share praise from happy clients. The reward of rest and relaxation also goes a long way. Offer the flexibility to knock off early…and if extra time off isn’t doable, a gift card for spa services couldn’t hurt.

We have a couple of ideas to honor Administrative Professionals Day, too. Acrylic Name Plates make a nice “thank you” with a polished, clear showcase that honors the individual. Add an even more distinctive look with the super eye-appeal of Executive Desk Name Plates. Dynamic border options deliver even more wow factor!

So, think about the inestimable value of your administrative pros…and show your gratitude. Premium thickness Acrylic Name Plates and classy Executive Desk Name Plates can help!

Essential Nameplate Holders for National Name Yourself Day Fun!

Have you ever wanted a different identity, just for one day? Good news! National Name Yourself Day is April 9^th, a prime opportunity to be somebody else. Who knows? You might feel the vicarious thrill of an actor or an undercover agent! And no matter what, you’ll need a way to showcase that new identity with options in Acrylic Nameplate Holders and Cubicle Name Plates.

While the origins of National Name Yourself Day are a little fuzzy, there is a distinct possibility that it was created by, or at least for, those who dislike their own name(s). Sad but true, many names anointed by well-intentioned parents are legally changed later by those bearing them. But National Name Yourself Day is open to everyone, so let the masquerade begin!

The first step is picking a new name. Or nickname. You could be someone familiar or let your imagination fly and adopt a whole new moniker.

Acrylic Name Plate

Once your new name is decided, the next step is printing a name tag. Of course, encouraging co-workers, friends, and colleagues to join the festivities will likely also help boost spirits, so don’t be shy.

Next comes the display. If you’re celebrating National Name Yourself Day in an office environment, Cubicle Name Plates can be an eye-catching showcase. Polished edges and attractive colored border options only enhance the spotlight on those new “names for a day.”

If your workday is a bit more virtual, you can still give your new name proper visibility with an Acrylic Name Plate Holder. In-person or in zoom meetings, premium thickness acrylic is crystal clear and easy on the eyes. As for the custom inserts, perforated card stock can also be included for DIY printing.

Ever wonder how many Americans change their names for real every year? There is no actual tally…the estimate is around 50,000. But for National Name Yourself Day? Be whoever you want and spread the news. We have your essential Nameplate Holders to assist the celebration!

Acrylic Name Plate Holders Highlight “Celebrate Your Name Week”

What’s in a name? It may not be something you think about terribly often, but when you consider the person behind the name, the name itself becomes more than just a label or ID. That’s what “Celebrate Your Name Week” is all about and is observed the week of March 6th, 2022. And, March 5^th specifically has been designated as “Learn What Your Name Means Day”. What better time to embrace your name, discover the true meaning, and show it off in a colorful Nameplate Holder display!

As part of the festivities, we’re putting Cubicle Nameplate Holders, Desk Nameplate Holders, and Wall Name Plates in the spotlight. With a splash of color, just to make those nameplates pop and celebrate the individual in the showcase!

Colorful inserts deliver a vibrant addition to Nameplate Holders. We offer FREE perforated card stock for do-it-yourself printing…a perfect time to customize and let the staff get creative. You could even suggest a contest for the most innovative Name Plate insert to keep in the spirit of the event!

By the way, if you think we’re making up Celebrate Your Name Week, we are not. And we understand if you never heard of it. But CYNW was established in 1997 by Jerry Hill, a hobbyist dabbling in American Onomatology – the study of etymology, history, and use of proper names. Hill designated the first week of March to celebrate names and have fun getting to know more about them. Each day has its own component…Name Tag Day, Namesake Day, Fun Facts Day, Unique Names Day, Learn What Your Name Means Day (March 5^th), Middle Name Pride Day, and Genealogy Day. Consider those themes for inspiration!

A great place to find out fun facts about your name and your co-workers’? Try www.behindthename.com. You’ll love it! And honor each with clear Acrylic Nameplate Holders, the best way to spotlight individuals with exceptional visibility!

Showcasing Products We Love in Honor of Valentine’s Day

Got a special gift, occasion, or treat lined up for Valentine’s Day? Ever wonder how the holiday got started?

St. Valentine was a third century priest who performed secret wedding ceremonies. The origin of the holiday itself, however, traces back to an ancient Roman celebration of Lupercalia, to purify the city and promote health and fertility.

In medieval times, girls would sometimes eat unusual foods on St. Valentine’s Day to make them dream of their future husband. In 1537, King Henry VIII officially declared February 14^th Valentine’s Day. Ironically, he was fond of the term “sweetheart” and used it frequently. And in the late 1800s, Richard Cadbury came up with the first Valentine’s Day candy box.

These days, Valentine’s Day is the second most popular holiday for sending cards…next to only Christmas. We’re talking about one billion cards a year. Over 50 million roses are bought each Valentine’s Day. And those heart-shaped boxes of tasty chocolate? More than 35 million!

Now here’s what we love…three products with loads of appeal that are sure to look dynamite in your work environment: Interchangeable Acrylic Wall Nameplate Holders, Cubicle Nameplate Holders with Silver and Black Borders, and Acrylic Cubicle Sign Holders.

Acrylic Nameplate Holders

Interchangeable Acrylic Wall Nameplate Holders (NPHW085025T1) make a clear spotlight for name and title inserts, especially with distinctive border options. The acrylic is premium thickness and perforated card stock is also included free on select orders for DIY insert printing.

Cubicle Nameplate Holders with Silver and Black Borders (PNH085025020 SSS – PNH085025020 SSB) are the smart choice for displays atop cubicle/partition walls. Cubicle usage is rising in office floor plans and so is the popularity of perfectly fitting Cubicle Nameplate Holders. The Silver and Black Border options really draw the eye, too.

To make event and holiday announcements stand out, Acrylic Cubicle Sign Holders do the trick. Also available with Silver and Black Borders (CSHL085110020 SSS – CSHL085110020 SSB), this attractive design fits cubicle walls snugly and the display accommodates literature 8-1/2” x 11”.

Speaking of literature displays, the oldest known Valentine’s Day card dates back to the 1400s and you can see it at the British Museum in London!

And sorting out who’s who is a new challenge that’s easily overcome…as long as you have the right Computer Nameplate.

The ongoing effects of COVID-19 on the workplace are coinciding with a worker migration reminiscent of off-season free agent movement in professional sports. Remote and hybrid work models are still a factor. Social distancing has led to modified on-site floor plans for those returning. Difficulty connecting with fellow workers in these various circumstances is not surprising.

Yet regardless of where one’s station is located during work hours, there is a simple alternative for clearly ID’ing and recognizing individuals. Check out the latest in Computer Nameplate Holders, now available with FREE Perforated Card-stock!

Budget-Friendly Alternatives to Metal Nameplate Holders

Did you know that the first evidence of human engraving dates as far back as 540,000 years ago? Chiseled shells were found with patterns intact in Java, Indonesia. Fast forward through the Paleolithic Era and Metal Age to the present, where computer-aided engraving does the work at high speed.

Before the development of Acrylic Nameplate Holders, specially engraved Metal Nameplate Holders were standard in offices. Not so much anymore. Shifting work environments and a changing workforce have modified the demand in Office Nameplate Holders for the clear qualities of premium thickness acrylic.

There are plenty of reasons to explain the shift. Acrylic Nameplate Holders are much more budget-friendly than metal. Sturdy acrylic stands up to hard knocks over time. And because you can print your own personalized inserts, the actual Cubicle Nameplate Holders and Desk Nameplate Holders themselves are re-usable. That alone makes Acrylic Nameplate Holders a wiser investment for long-term use.

Acrylic Desk Nameplate Holder with Posts

As for aesthetic appeal, new acrylic features a clean, modern look. Cubicle Nameplate Holders, for example, deliver an eye-catching spotlight for name and title inserts. They fit securely on top of partition walls, straight out of the box upon delivery.

Acrylic Desk Nameplate Holders also draw the eye with expressed clarity. In the past, metal nameplate holders typically occupied desk and counter surfaces, requiring specially engraved nameplates that could take weeks to arrive. With Plastic Products Mfg., convenient, faster, more cost-effective display options are immediately available.

Here’s one reason why. Inserts for clear Acrylic Nameplate Holders are super-easy to customize and print on-site. You and your staff can personalize name/title inserts with DIY printing, right at your fingertips. They look great and there’s no waiting! Another sweet bonus that saves a few more bucks? Your Acrylic Nameplate Holder order could qualify for FREE heavy-gauge card stock…included just for in-house printing!

Make a Statement and Boost Office Morale with New Nameplate Holders and Custom Nameplates!

As the economy tries to recover from lingering effects of COVID-19, many workers are also still grappling with trepidation about returning to the workplace. When you think about it, every worker is essential these days and morale could certainly use a boost.

Here’s an easy, affordable suggestion. Acrylic Nameplate Holders and Cubicle Nameplate Holders can help team spirit in multiple ways.

Office Nameplates serve as an introduction for new employees as they assimilate to a different work environment. As for returning staff, showcasing each name in an eye-catching Acrylic Nameplate Holder goes a long way when it comes to making employees feel at home. Custom nameplates recognize the individual and tell that person he or she is essential, valued, and important.

Personalizing inserts with names, titles, and graphics makes a more distinctive impact with aesthetically appealing Cubicle Nameplate Holders to highlight them. In this way, custom Office Nameplates recognize specific individuals and departments with clarity while also adding to interior décor.

Acrylic Cubicle Nameplate Holder

Acrylic Nameplate Holders and the personal touch they help convey do more than make employees feel connected to their workplace. They also boost worker retention at a time when many feel unsure about the future. Job security is vital and simple recognition in an Office Nameplate contributes to that peace-of-mind.

While the historical origins of plastics traces back over 200 years, the transformative properties of plexiglass and acrylic really took shape in the mid-20^th century. And new innovations are still ongoing. For instance, Plastic Products Mfg unveiled Non-Glare Acrylic Cubicle Name Plate Holders over the summer. Once again, the properties of acrylic deliver visual clarity, durability, toughness…and the ability to adapt to a safer eye-friendly environment. 

As an added bonus, heavy-gauge card stock is included FREE with many qualifying Office Nameplate orders. End users get an industry-leading Acrylic Nameplate Holder AND the material for do-it-yourself insert printing! Something to consider and inquire about before you finalize your order.

Introducing NEW Non-Glare Cubicle Nameplate Holders!

Non-Glare Acrylic Cubicle Nameplate Holder

Just how much does glare affect eyes in the workplace? The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) studied the question and found multiple symptoms of eye discomfort and “computer vision syndrome.” Poor lighting, glare, improper viewing distances, dry air, and indoor air quality (IAQ) issues in general were listed among the causes.

New lighting innovations have been directly connected with maximum comfort and productivity. As for IAQ, many facility managers have been busy upgrading HVAC systems as a byproduct of the pandemic. And a byproduct of those upgrades means less dust and fewer eye irritants in the air.

Another new approach to fight the glare? Non-Glare Acrylic Cubicle Name Plate Holders are an excellent way to spotlight names and titles at individual workstations…and in eye-friendly fashion.

Non-Glare Cubicle Nameplate Holders also serve other vital display functions. Re-opening workplaces are using them to guide passing foot traffic through a maze of new cubicle partitions. This is especially vital for customers and new team members just getting acquainted with changing floor layouts.

What makes this particular Cubicle Nameplate perfect for display without light reflection? The secret is the silk-screened matte surface. Matte Finish Cubicle Nameplate Holders are available in a variety of styles and sizes. They’re easy to install straight out of the box, too…a snug fit atop cubicle walls with no tools required!   

Custom Non-Glare Cubicle Nameplates are also available upon request. They’re crafted to last, giving a strong return for a small investment that stands up to years of re-use. After all, Plastic Products Mfg has mastered the art of manufacturing high quality Cubicle Nameplate Holders and this latest innovation is no exception.

One more bonus? Perforated card stock for DIY insert printing is shipped with standard-size Non-Glare Acrylic Cubicle Name Plate Holders FREE!

Here are a couple more tips to save the eyes. The CCOHS recommends overhead light dimmers and filters to diffuse the lighting. Adjusting monitor angles and using matte finishes on walls, floors, and furniture are also recommended…just like Matte Finish Cubicle Nameplate Holders.

How to Create Your Own Nameplate Inserts Using Perforated Card-stock

Plastic Products Mfg has unveiled several attractive additions to our Name Plate Holder line in recent months, like Multi-slot Desk Nameplate Holders with dynamic silver or black borders, or our Executive Series Wall Mount Acrylic Nameplate Holders with premium 1/8″ acrylic.  Naturally, many inquisitive customers have also been asking if we offer the templates for the inserts themselves.  While creating nameplate inserts is more of a printing specialty, we do have some “how-to” advice to help you make your own in Microsoft Word.

White Perforated Paper

It’s really a simple “DIY” process.  Once you have Word open, here’s what to do:

Step 1: Click Mailings and then the Labels button in the ribbon.

Step 2: Click Options.  If you use pre-printed labels from a Label vendor, this is where you can select the appropriate pre-formatted template by clicking the label vendor and the product number, then personalize it accordingly and click OK.

Step 3: Click New Document and a new, formatted document will appear with rectangles where names can be added (even if you don’t have a label “default” like in Step 2).

Step 4: This is where you can use different formatting options to give your nameplate inserts a unique look.  Select all the labels/inserts you’ve included in your document, then click Table Tools under Layout.  In the Alignment section, click “Align Center.”  This will align your nameplate both horizontally and vertically.

Step 5: Choose your font and print size.  This is accomplished under the Home menu just as you would in a Word writing format.  Same principle, same procedure.

Step 6: Save and print!  Your nameplate inserts are ready.

Here’s another way to create your nameplate template.  Under Insert on a Word doc, go to Text Box and choose any of the available selections.  Simply type your name/title and adjust your font/size as desired.   You can even add Clip Art under Insert if you want to enhance your nameplate beyond text.  Use the ruler at the top to control the horizontal print area, and your template is set.

Of course, if you are using an older version of Windows, your Word functions and capabilities may vary from those described in either method above.  But if you use Office 365, Windows 10, or any version more recent than Windows 7, you should be ready to make your DIY nameplate templates.

Then, the only major decision left is the type of paper stock or insert the material you want to use for the finished result.  Plastic Products Mfg. offers perforated card-stock in a variety of sizes and colors. You can use a laser or inkjet printer for your custom inserts and the perforated sheets make it easy to separate the inserts cleanly. 

Hopefully, these tips will help you make the perfect template for nameplate inserts with little time or fuss invested.  And when you need the right showcase to show those names in the best light possible, think about new Name Plate Holders at Plastic Products Mfg.!
