A laminated badge with a clip isnt going to cost the earth and can be as big as needed to be noticed . It could be done as a print out and laminated by members themselves ....no cost to AFF and small $$ for members to print and laminate , punch a hole in it for a pin or buy those one that you slide a printout into.
Embroidered badges cost a small fortune and have to be made in bulk ...no good .
Lanyards are another good idea /

My pet hate with name badges is the attachments.
Pins put holes in your shirt and clips only work if you have a shirt pocket- although you can attach them to your collar.
The best ones I have seen are magnetic- they can be worn with any clothing without damaging it.
I bet they're not cheap but will find out at work tomorrow.

Lanyards are good for this reason .

I put some links up above to give an idea of whats around , I guess its what the owners think is feasable and Im only one of 800 so what I want doesnt really matter.

Don't be like that Deb, your opinion will be ignored just as much as the next

Everyone opinions matter.

Been thinking about this and Im sure there is a badge maker somewhere close will have a look and see what they offer.
I have seen badge makers at fairs and things like that, badges seemed cheap from memory.
