EXPRESS ONE · PREPAID NAME BADGES
Bulk name badges with Express One prepaid stock
Prepay for the quantity you need over time, get that quantity tier now, and add future names from your remaining stock.
Know you will need more employee name badges, but do not have every name yet? Express One lets you prepay for a larger badge quantity, receive that quantity tier now, and have the remaining stock held for future names.
Choose the right way to order for your team
Saved designs store your layout, logo, and badge choices. Express One prepays for badge stock. You can use a saved design while planning an Express One order, and guest ordering remains available.
Example: 10 badges now, 15 for later names
Enter 25 as your total badges to prepay for. All 25 use the 25–49 quantity tier for your chosen badge options, even though only 10 names are needed now.
We send a proof for approval before producing the named badges and hold the remaining 15 for future names. Contact us when you need another release from your remaining prepaid stock.

Compare quantity prices and badge options
Express One is available for engravable name badges with a full-color logo and laser-engraved names, and for full-color printed name badges. Magnetic and pin fasteners are available for both styles.
The current name badge quantity-pricing table shows standard-size, unframed badges with pin or magnetic backs. Larger sizes, eligible frames, and optional epoxy domes cost extra. Full-color name badges include their protective gloss coat.
Your designer total reflects the badge options and full quantity selected. Tax and delivery are additional. Future shipping is billed separately.
