Example of a university name tag

Do you, your department, or a program that you run require official Canisius University name tags? Are you expecting a new member to join your team? Let the Makerspace Creator Lab create them for you! Here is what you need to know:

  • We require a lead time of at least  two weeks for orders of 24 or fewer name tags. For orders greater than 24, contact COLI (email below).
  • A material cost will also be incurred. Email COLI for more information.
  • Name tags can have up to three lines (see the image above):
    • Name (maximum of 25 characters, but some modifications can be made to fit longer names).
      • Did you or the people you are ordering tags for graduate from Canisius/will graduate from Canisius or have an advanced degree? Add their Canisius graduation year (or expected graduation year) and/or degree abbreviation at the end of the name. Example: Dr. Petey Griffin ’25, or Dr. Petey C. Griffin or Petey Griffin, EdD.
    • The next two lines are optional:
      • Maximum of 36 characters.
      • Typically, one line is job title and the next is the department name or an abbreviation.
      • Or, you can put pronouns and/or degrees.

Submit a name tag request via Google Forms

If you email COLI, we can also accept Excel spreadsheets (preferred) or PDFs. Once we receive the list, we will begin the process of creating the proofs. Once the proofs are approved, student makerspace technicians will begin the process of stamping out name tags. We will email you once the tags are completed for pickup during Makerspace Creator Lab hours.
