Have you ever noticed that shiny sign on your boss' desk? Or maybe you noticed how much of a nuisance that small label on your company's front desk is. One way or another, in any field or level of business you are involved in, you are bound to realize that name plates are one of those simple things that add up a lot of value to a business' credibility as well as to the efficiency of work and interaction among co-workers in the workplace. Due to the size of name plates, they tend to be neglected and come in last in the list in setting up an office. If you do miss out on getting your own name plate, you may have already missed a few good opportunities that would have sparked if only your clear name plate was sitting on that desk.
Name plates are not limited to those gold and silver ones sitting on top of an executive's table. It can also be used for labeling standard office equipment or procedures. A placard posted on top of an office sink saying "Not for Drinking" could very well stop tired employees from taking a tempting sip of that unclean water. Manufacturing equipment and machines can also be labeled with the name of the equipment and a very short description of its purpose. That will come in useful for new employees that become confused about which machine to use.
At one time your business may become recognized in your local community, or you might be awarded in international event and you receive a plaque or a trophy. Why not place it in a very visible area and label it with a very shiny name plate? It adds up to the prestige of being recognized and being appreciated as a credible business.
Name plates are also important for basic communication, avoiding wasted minutes for awkward introductions that could have been eliminated if it weren't for your name plate. You don't need to recognize and remember everyone that does not have any influence at work, but at some point a person you don't know might be looking for you. With a proper name plate, you won't be confused with another employee or you will definitely not be mistaken for the company CEO, especially if you are in a very grand office. For the purpose of communication between people, name plates act as a silent "common friend". Through this, people will already have an idea on who the other person is, how to approach that person, how to converse with that person, and other factors needed for an appropriate conversation.
With all that in mind, the only thing left is picking the right design and the durability of the material used. Don't be attracted with those gold name plates with names written in cursive. Name plates should reflect the company you work in and what your position in that company or business is; and there is definitely no use of a name plate peeling off the corner or degrading in color in just a few weeks. It doesn't have to be all crammed up with fancy letters and symbols. What's important is that you keep a clear, durable, and assertive feel to the name plate to maintain the reputation and credibility of the company.
