Quick answerUse a door name plate (10 x 4 inch, ₹299) to mark your cabin, and a desk name plate for your table: a classic 8 x 3 inch acrylic plate (₹299), a glowing 10 x 6 inch name lamp on a wooden base (₹499) or an LED desk name plate (₹649). Keep the text short: your name, degrees and one line of designation.
A name plate is often the first thing a patient or client sees, so it is worth choosing well. This guide explains the difference between door and desk name plates, which style suits which space, and what to write, so you get a name plate for your clinic or office that looks right on the first try.
Door name plate or desk name plate?
They do different jobs, and many professionals use both:
- A door name plate tells visitors whose cabin or office this is before they walk in.
- A desk name plate sits in front of you and makes your name and designation clear during a consultation or meeting.
Choosing a door name plate
Our door name plates are 10 x 4 inch acrylic with your name, designation and a professional symbol, in brushed gold, silver, rose gold or white. They are self-adhesive, so they stick straight onto a clean, smooth, flat door without drilling. ₹299.
Pick a finish that contrasts with your door: gold or rose gold stands out on dark wood, while white or silver suits lighter doors.
Choosing a desk name plate: three styles
| Style | Size | Look | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acrylic desk name plate | 8 x 3 inch | Classic and minimal, on a wooden stand | ₹299 |
| Name lamp with wooden base | 10 x 6 inch | Larger, glows warm white | ₹499 |
| LED desk name plate | On a solid wooden base | Glowing, with specialty or decorative designs | ₹649 |
A classic acrylic plate suits a compact desk, while the glowing styles make a stronger impression in a cabin or reception.
What to write on your name plate
- Name with title: “Dr. Priya Mehta”, “Adv. Ravi Sharma” or “CA Rohit Mehta”.
- Degrees or qualification, for example “MBBS, MD” or “B.Com, FCA”.
- One line of designation, such as “Consultant Physician” or “Partner”.
- Leave out phone numbers and timings. They change, and the plate should last for years.
- Double-check spellings. We make it exactly as you enter it.
Symbol or logo
Most designs include a symbol for your profession: the caduceus or stethoscope for doctors, a tooth for dentists, the scales of justice or advocate band for lawyers, and the CA India logo for chartered accountants. For your own logo, choose our any-profession name lamp or message us on WhatsApp.
