New Magnetic-Attaching Nametags From Reeves Company

ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Reeves Company has added an innovative magnetic-attachment system to its line of custom crafted name pins for the lodging and hospitality industry.

This new lightweight, two-piece interlocking magnet fastener allows nametags to be quickly and securely attached without damaging clothing. More advanced than traditional name pins, the new lever-shaped magnet is easier to attach and remove from garments and eliminates the need to pierce fabrics in order to hold the nametag in place.

Another feature of the product is the magnet’s smooth plastic casing, which provides greater comfort against wearers’ skin.

Available in two sizes and in a choice of silver- or gold-toned finishes, the name pins can be customized to corporate specifications and shipped in quantities to separate locations for personalization. Factory engraving is also available in any quantity with a 72-hour turnaround. Samples are available upon request.
