Cubicle Name Plates vs Office Name Plates
Cubicle Name Plates are a specialized type of Office Name Plate designed for workstations and partitioned work areas. See our complete Office Name Plate collection for additional workplace identification options. And if you want to fully personalize your work area consider adding a Desk Name Plate. Cubicle walls vary in material and include fabric, or a combination of glass and wood. Because of this variation in material different methods are used to secure a name plate to a cubicle. The three most popular methods are: partition pins which are inserted into a fabric cubicle; velcro which has one side affixed to the name plate the other to the cubicle and lastly acrylic cubicle holders which hang over a cubicle wall.
In contrast, office name plates are best suited for more traditional office configurations. For a more distinct look consider our Custom Office Name Plates.

(NOTE: Cubicle Name Plates need Name Plate Holders for mounting - sold separately)
There are a lot of options for securing name plates to a cubicle. What's good is having changeable name plates that can accommodate variations in cubicle material and thickness. For example if you need name plates for glass cubicles your approach will likely be different than what you would do if you need name plates for workstations, name plates for fabric cubicles or partial cubicles where the top is glass and the bottom is wood or fabric. in such a case, acrylic holders are optimal as they can adjust to different thicknesses. For traditional cubicles either the partition pins or velcro will work equally well.
In most cases you will want a holder to use with your name plates and there are many different options available. View our Name Plate offering to see the holder options available.
