How do you keep your name badge from spinning? I get annoyed when I go into a room and my badge is turned around. I have used a badge reel, and the necklace type thing. Maybe if I had really big boobs it would lie flat. Sadly that isn't the case, so it spins.:lol2:

You can get a name badge clip that doesn't spin. Most badge reels do spin though. I hate that too!

Why not make the badge double sided?

It's like the piece of bread that will always land butter side down; not much you can do about it.

I took a label maker and stuck my name & title on the back of the ID, so my name was always visible, one way or the other.

Is it just me, or does your badge only flip to the wrong side? I tried to be smart one day and put it on the wrong side purposely, thinking it would flip to the correct side to no avail :rolleyes::lol2:

I also flipped around the snap-lock on my badge reel, still no help!

I have a boobie defiency too...maybe that is the issue!!!:lol2:

I have real boobs, and it still spins around. Our names are on the back too.

Guess it is expected to spin :)

Tell management that! It has been mentioned by us with no results.

For the other poster. I use a clip reel now because we have to get in and out of locked rooms. Out of desperation, I may go that route. It totally annoys me.

It is required that we have double sided name badges. Maybe you can ask your HR department for another name badge so you can have a double sided one.

We have asked, but it's a money issue they say.:confused:

Simply scan the front side of your name badge, print it out on an inkjet, and then tape it to the back side of your badge with some clear packing tape. If you're wearing one or several of those quick-reference badges then simply put the copied badge facing backwards sandwiching the references between your company-issued badge and your DIY copy.

Or, don't worry about it...

Maybe use one of these clips?
