The Gap logo is really strong and distinctive, I think it would look great on the reverse of a nice quality (brass?) nametag.
I have no idea how to progress this - but someone out there must have a clue.

Hmmmmm . . . it's lovely idea in principle, but: I think the issue we've always faced with this type branded product is that the set-up costs of the printers/engravers are usually really prohibitive - normally in the order of hundreds of pounds  . So in order to make that initial investment worthwhile and the project pay for itself (which it would have to), there would need to be a huge number of guaranteed sales up front, most of which would be subsidising the set-up. I love branded stuff in general, but there's often a limited appeal unfortunately: Only us Gappers would go bonkers for branded collar tags, and probably not in large enough numbers to make production viable/affordable.  What Gap does have on sale already, though, are branded orange trolley tokens which just happen to have a very handy hole punched in them . . . so maybe there's room to improvise and make them multi-purpose?  ;D ;D Jo x |

I know because I was looking to replace one that I lost a while back. Likewise the stocks of lanyards and badges seem to be very low. Any sign of stocks being replenished anytime soon do you know? |

Likewise the stocks of lanyards and badges seem to be very low. Any sign of stocks being replenished anytime soon do you know? We're in the process at the moment of running-down the old '.com' branded stock in order to make way for new '.org.uk' branded stock, Hun, hence why supplies seem low at the moment BUT . . . At the Gap show we did our best to consolidate what stock we do have remaining (it's been handed over to me), and the good news is that now the whole lot's been pooled and counted there actually are quite a few .com branded trolley tokens, lanyards and badges remaining  . Just let me know what you'd like, folks, and I'll confirm how many we have!  Thanks Jo x |

It's a dangly thingy that you hang around your neck with an ID badge or keys on Steve's wearing an orange one on this photo, but the official Gap ones are black with orange printing on and are far more substantial That's them on the table in front of the little orange hat stand  Jo x |

Is this something you are looking to get as I can make these, in a narrow webbing same strength as a lead. I'd buy a few of those Marie . Do you mean those short lengths with a hook/clip at either end? I'd love a few as a safety measure in case the clips on our leads fail Jo x |

Ah. no, Barneysmum. I was just wondering what they were! I hate not knowing something! I have a lazy deerhound who just wears a harness and just bumbles along!
Thanks anyway!
