Cubicle Name Plates in Dubai: Fixing to a Fabric Panel
Open plan offices have no doors to put a plate on. What they have is a fabric covered partition, and nothing screws into one. Cubicle name plates in Dubai are built around that limitation, and around the fact that in open plan, people move desks more often than anywhere else in the building.
Cubicle Name Plates: tell us the size, the quantity and the date you need it by.

Six steps happen between the brief and the finished job. Here they are, in the order they happen on our floor in Dubai South.
The Panel Will Not Take a Screw
Partition panels are a light frame with fabric over foam. A screw spins in it. Plates therefore hang from the top rail on a hook, clip to the edge of the panel, or stand on the desk surface instead.
Hooks Over the Top Rail
A shaped hook drops over the panel and the plate hangs from it at reading height. No tools, no damage, and it moves to another panel in two seconds. This is the one that suits a team reorganising itself every quarter.
Edge Clips for Lower Panels
Where the panel is low or glazed at the top, a clip grips the edge instead. These need the panel thickness measured, since partition systems vary and a clip that is slightly loose turns to face the wrong way every time somebody walks past.
Slide In Inserts Are the Point
Almost every cubicle plate is a holder with a printed insert, not an engraved plate. Inserts are cheap enough to reprint for a new starter without anyone needing to raise a purchase order.
Double Sided Reads Down the Row
In a long bank of desks, people approach from both directions. A double sided plate hanging perpendicular to the panel is readable walking either way, which is how you find someone in a room of sixty desks.
Reordering
We keep the insert template, so new names are printed and posted without a new setup charge.
The trade off is plain enough. A hanging plate on a hook is the most flexible option and the least smart looking. If the floor is client facing, a fixed plate on the end of each bank looks considerably better and gives up the easy reshuffling.

Setting up your file.
- 01Send the logo as a vectorLetters and shapes are cut from your outlines, so we need AI, EPS, SVG or PDF, not a screenshot or a JPEG.
- 02Measure the real spaceWidth, height and a straight-on photo of the wall or fascia. The tape measure often disagrees with the drawing.
- 03Send names as textFor plates and directories, send names and titles in a document, so nothing is retyped from an image.
- 04Tell us about power and the wallFor lit signs, where the nearest power point is. For every sign, what the wall is made of.
Quick answers.
No. Hooks and clips leave no marks.
Yes. We supply the template.
Worth it in long desk banks.
