When Size Matters - How Big Should A Name Tag Be

Name Tag Pros • January 2, 2022

When it comes to name tag design, size matters. It’s important to be able to convey information clearly without making the name tag too big to be wearable. But it is equally important for the name tag to be attractive, eye-catching, and contain all the information necessary. Here are a few things to keep in mind about name tag size.

Size and Placement of Your Logo 

Whether you are creating name tags for employees or a big event, full-color logos are always a plus. The logo for your organization is usually placed on the right side of the name badge. However, many prefer the logo to be across the top and some like to put the person’s name at the top and the logo along the bottom. It’s mostly a matter of preference. The professionals at Name Tag Pros can help you with logo placement when selecting a name badge size. 


Font Considerations 

Choosing the font style for your organization’s name tag is important. The font style can be like an exclamation point on your name tag design. It complements the other elements and provides the information needed. It’s one of the essential elements. You can look at a few font styles to determine which one you like the best for your name tag design. Of course, font sizes can also be adjusted to fit nicely on your name tags.


Wear-Ability and Name Badge Size 

Name badge sizes are within a certain range for a reason. If a name tag is too small, it can be difficult to see and that defeats the purpose of having them in the first place. You also don’t want the name badge to be too large. If the name badge is too large, it can be uncomfortable to wear. For employees, this can be very distracting. You want to strike the perfect balance here. Name tag placement should be such that it commands attention and displays information. The eye-catching design should draw people’s eyes to it, but for all the right reasons! 


Finding the Right Size Name Tag

Name tags come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some of the most popular name badge sizes include:

  • 1”x3” 
  • 1.5”x3”
  • 2”x 3” 
  • 2”x 3.5”


Custom-sized name tags give your event, business, or organization a distinctive look. You’ll want a name tag that bears the minimum information which includes the wearer’s name and the name of your event, organization, or business. There is also plenty of room for a full-color logo on standard name badge sizes. You also have the option of ordering custom sizes which can help you create a more distinctive name badge.
