How to make name badges
- Type the person's name. The first name is printed big so people can read it from a few steps away; the last name, role, company and pronouns go underneath.
- Add the event and the badge type. Event name and date go across the top. Type Attendee, Speaker, Staff, VIP, Sponsor, Press or Exhibitor and the ribbon at the bottom gets its own colour.
- Download the badge as a PDF sized exactly 4 x 3 inches, or as a PNG, print it and slide it into a badge holder.
What size is a name badge?
The most common conference badge holder takes a 4 x 3 inch insert (101.6 x 76.2 mm), landscape. Smaller business-card-style holders take 3.5 x 2.25 inches, and Avery 5395 / 8395 adhesive name tags are 3.375 x 2.33 inches, eight to a sheet. The PDF from this page is one badge per page at exactly 4 x 3 inches: print it at 100% scale (no "fit to page") on cardstock or plain paper and trim to the edge. It is not laid out for Avery sheets.
What should you put on a name badge?
Lead with the first name, as large as it fits: that is what people say when they walk up to someone. Then the last name, the job title or role, and the company, smaller. Pronouns are optional but appreciated at many events. Keep the event name small at the top, and use a coloured ribbon for the badge type so staff and speakers are easy to spot across the room. Leave out email addresses and phone numbers: a badge is read by strangers.
Need badges for the whole guest list?
If your attendees are in a spreadsheet or a registration export, you don't need to fill this form for every guest. Bulk name tags are coming: join the list and make one badge per row - names, roles, companies and ribbons - all in a single PDF.
