How to Create the Most Effective Event or Employee Name Badges

3 Key Factors for Creating a Successful and Effective Name Tag Design

You’ll be considering a lot of different options when designing your name badge, like do you want it to include your logo or not. You’ll have to choose between metal or plastic and decide on a backing that works best for your setting. Those are all just part of ordering name tags. But there are three important features you want to make sure to address.

Make Sure the Name Tag is Readable

Readability is the most important consideration whether you are creating event name tags or employee name badges. If it cannot be read by others, it will not have the effect you desire. You want people to be able to connect, and name badges can help you accomplish that. But if your name tags are not readable, they are not going to be able to connect as easily. Sure, you want to choose a stylish font; it’s one of the key elements. But it needs to be large enough to read from a few feet away. At Name Tag Pros, we can help make sure your font is a good style and size so it’s readable and effective.

Sturdy Name Badges

If you’ve ever been to an event and had a cheap name tag that fell apart before the event was over, you know how important high-quality, sturdy name badges can be. You will want to invest in a sturdy option based on the setting where the name tag will be used. Event name tags should last at least for the duration of the event. Our metal and plastic name badges are extremely durable and complimentary. They provide a professional appearance and will stand up over time.

Practical and Useful

An event or employee name badge has a purpose and should be leveraged. You can choose what information you want to include based on the nature of its use. Useful information includes things like:

• Attendee name
• Job title
• Company title
• Logo
• Sponsor information

What type of information you need attendees to have in front of them will help determine the name badge type. Photo ID name tags can display much more information, for example, than an engraved plastic name tag. Employee name tags usually only need their first name, job title, and business logo. But you have the liberty to think outside the box and be creative. 

It is important to refrain from including too much information on the badge. You want to include as much useful information as needed without making the name tag hard to read. Name tags have a variety of purposes. Make sure the information you include is beneficial for employees, customers, or event attendees.
