Name Badges

As the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) continues to grow and expand its reach across the region, maintaining a consistent institutional identity becomes increasingly vital. Every member of the campus community — from faculty members and administrative staff to student employees and educational partners — is an ambassador for the university.

Thus, UNCW Printing Services has established standard requirements for university-issued name badges that will achieve key operational benefits.

  • Brand Harmonization: Prevents ad-hoc, inconsistent or off-brand identification items that dilute UNCW’s visual identity
  • Operational Efficiency: Streamlines administrative workflows through pre-approved design layouts and centralized ordering
  • Resource Stewardship: Lowers unit costs and optimizes inventory control through bulk procurement with approved vendors

 

Standard Issue Badge Specifications

Procurement and Compliance Guidelines

Sourcing

ALL official UNCW faculty and staff name badges should be ordered directly through UNCW Printing Services.

Legacy and Off-Campus Badges

Staff members currently wearing silver badges or non-standard variations may be utilizing legacy items from past purchases or off-campus suppliers. Departments should transition faculty and staff to official gold badges when replacement or new badges are required.

Design and Layout

All badge elements are centrally aligned, featuring the official house logo at the top, followed by the faculty or staff member's name, professional title and department name typeset in Palatino LT.

Brand Consistency

Modifications to the approved layout, typography, colors or logo placement on name badges are strictly prohibited without prior written consent from OUR and/or Printing Services.
