I use matte clear nail polish
dallizzlee [OP]7 points1y ago
Do you take the nail polish off and reuse the tag?
medusas-garden20 points1y ago
Not gonna lie I’ve been using the same name tag for a year and never changed it lol. But my thought process was that if I needed to I could always take it off with nail polish remover so that’s probably your best bet

When you’re ready to change it

my manager bought a chalk waterproofing spray and literally nothing will take it off! I’ll see if I can’t get a picture of it next time I’m in

I use clear packing tape, that way I can wrap it up and over the name tag to the back. Also let’s me sign the name tag on the back along the bottom of the name tag and seal the signature and the date I made it. This way they can still use it as caramel drizzle bag scraper or whatever else people use their name tags for.

I just spray the water resistant spray for shoes on this. And so far my nametag is good for 6 months already.
dallizzlee [OP]4 points1y ago
I need something slightly less permanent since these are very specific lol
dkr18292 points1y ago
I mean if you use like the sanitize wipe, you still can easily clean it without trying. But for example, there’s a tiny syrup/ water drop on it, it’d still be good for at least 1-2 months as far as I see.

"Puffy Paint" works great for a 'lifetime' nametag.

I used mod podge. I would also aquire more name tags so I had tags for all the seasons and a basic tag.
shwaggerasf2 points1y ago
i mod podge mine but i also paint mine with acrylic! so it would probably smear over chalk

Tbh I never use my name tag. Boss got us all embroidered aprons so I just use that and rush it through the laundry
dallizzlee [OP]1 points1y ago
I mean that’s great but I don’t have an embroidered apron, I have these name tags lol
