Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (2435) or the full path ("Office Supplies > Name Plates"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 2435, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Name Plates
What is the Google product category ID for Name Plates?
2435. The full path, "Office Supplies > Name Plates", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Name Plates available?
No. Name Plates is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 2, so 2435 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Name Plates sit in the taxonomy?
At level 2, under Office Supplies (922). The chain from the top is Office Supplies → Name Plates. If your product does not belong under Office Supplies, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Name Plates is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Office Supplies first — there are 13 other categories at this level: Book Accessories (6174), Desk Pads & Blotters (8078), Filing & Organization (923), General Office Supplies (932), Impulse Sealers (5829), Lap Desks (8499), and 7 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Office Supplies (922) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Name Plates compared with the categories next to it?
It is 11th largest of the 14 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
