Frequently asked questions

Can I choose my own wording?

Yes. Choose Your Own Wording and type it in the box, for example I Have ADHD, Please Speak Slowly, BSL User or Non-Verbal. Up to about 14 characters a line fit on one or two lines; longer wording is engraved smaller to fit.

Is this the same as a sunflower lanyard?

No. The sunflower is a separate scheme, run by Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, and we don't make Sunflower products. A worded badge tells people exactly what helps; the sunflower says nothing about your condition. Our guide what does a sunflower lanyard mean? explains the difference and how to get a sunflower lanyard free.

Can I wear it at work?

Yes, it pins beside a name badge or onto a uniform. For a badge with your name, job title and your company logo, see our custom oak wooden name badges in 8 sizes.

Can I have a magnetic fastening?

This slim 65×15mm badge has a pin fastening only. For a magnetic badge, see the 75×30mm lozenge name badge, with pin or magnetic fastening. Spare pins are in our replacement pins and clips.

Do you make signs for reception desks and counters?

Yes. For deaf and hard of hearing visitors, see our oak hearing loop signs and the portable hearing loop sign. For a calm space, see the quiet room sign.

Are bulk discounts available?

Yes, and they apply automatically at checkout: 10% from 20 badges, 15% from 50, 20% from 100, 25% from 250, 30% from 500 and 35% from 1000. Useful for schools, colleges, charities and workplaces.
