5 Event Name Tag Design Tips

Choose a Font That is Easy to Read

Choosing a font size that is too small can be a disaster. Firstly, there will be no social distancing as others will need to get right up on the name badge before they can read the information. This obstacle prevents people from talking to one another. Make sure the font is easy to read and one that will accommodate longer names if needed.


Include Job Titles and Positions

A person’s name is the most important part of a name badge, especially if you want people to connect. Another piece of valuable information is the person’s title or position. On most event name tags, it’s located just below their names. This bit of information helps forge new relationships.


Consider Using Multicolor Name Tags

You always have the option of choosing black and white name badges to stay on a budget. But it’s not that much more to include eye-catching colors. A color name badge is more effective than black and white. You have a variety of options such as adding your full-color company logo. You have plenty of options available to create a unique name tag.


Choose a Good Size

Most event name badges are around 4x3 inches. It is important that it is not too big, nor too small. If the name tag is too big, attendees will not be comfortable wearing it. If it’s too small, the information will not be large enough to be effective. At Name Tag Pros, we will ensure you get the appropriate size to be effective.


Choose a High-Quality Lanyard

Lanyards hold name tags securely around the neck. Colored lanyards can be used for color-coding groups or for organizational purposes. They can also be color-coordinated to match the logo or conference color scheme.
