What makes a good name badge
- The first name is the biggest thing on the badge. People read it from two metres away, often at an angle. Our generator sets the first name larger than the surname for this reason.
- Company second, role third. Attendees use company names to start conversations; roles help, but matter less.
- Use the colour bar for badge type. Delegate, speaker, staff and press badges in different colours make it easy for door staff to spot who goes where.
- Print on the day, not weeks before. Pre-printed badges mean re-prints for every late change and a table full of badges for people who never came. Printing at check-in solves both.
Printing badges at check-in instead
For events with more than a few dozen attendees, the faster setup is to print each badge when the person arrives: they show a QR ticket, staff scan it, and the badge prints in seconds on a thermal label printer. You print exactly the badges you need, with the latest spelling, and nobody hunts through alphabetical boxes.
