Name Tags - Note: this subsidized service is exclusively for Canadian Cadet and COATS members only.
Why are the CIC Branch Association of BC name tags the best anywhere??
- Quality of materials: all tags are made with Rowmark Ultra-Matte architectural-grade, outdoor-use-rated, uv-stabilized acrylic; a harder surface to scratch, beautiful surface luster, and white letters and edges that will never become yellow! Additionally, the pin backing is a special low-profile milspec product with pins that are just long-enough to securely hold the tag to a CAF tunic, but not so long that the clips grind into your skin when the tag is worn on a shirt. Topping it all off, both the standard clips and SuperClips are superb-quality brass, made by a respected jewelry manufacturer in North America!
- Quality of layout: we use a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) milling deck that is ultra accurate (to 1/1000") for sharp & precise cutting. Also, the list of your required name tags is imported directly into our CNC program, so zero transcription errors.
- Quality of fonts: the tags are made with an exclusive European single line font designed to DIN standards. Perfect design and easy to read. Additionally, we have custom-designed (ourselves) additional characters such as the superscript "c" for correct rendering of Scottish names. Got a name with a ton of characters? No problem! We can custom scale our fonts to fit almost any name perfectly onto a 2.5" tag!
- Quality of finish: all tags are hand finished across all four sides. No burs or uneven edges!
- Speed of delivery: tags are normally shipped-out within 48 hours of payment (weekdays).

MagnaClip (Magnetic System)
The superior choice for those with tailored shirts (not recommended for tunics) or for members wishing to avoid continually putting-in pinholes!
A two-part system: One bar is attached to the back of the tag, and a super-strong rare-earth 3-magnet bar is worn inside the shirt. By flush-mounting to the bottom of the tag, the whole assembly can be easily aligned by placing it right on the top of the shirt pocket....no crooked nametags!
MagnaClips are $3.50 per set. They must be ordered at the same time as the tag as they completely replace the standard pin bar.

Albert Head Kit Shop
Until 2015, The Regional Cadet Instructor School (Pacific) fully supported a Kit Shop at Albert Head where Cadet Instructor Cadre Officers could purchase uniform accoutrements, branch specific paraphernalia, as well as specialty training items. Revenues from sales by the Kit Shop were utilized to support the CIC Bursary Fund, and from inception to present time, approximately $75,000 was fundraised for the Bursary. Under the present re-organization, and the move to tri-service unified badging and accoutrements, the Albert Head kitshop itself is re-branding with new products and ordering procedures.
Enquiries for accoutrement items should be sent by email to: Rex.Ford@forces.gc.ca. Note that name tags and dog tags are still being supplied by mail order directly from the Branch Association and not from the Albert Head Kitshop.
