Name badges are an important, but often overlooked, part of any successful meeting or conference. We've all dealt with hours of formatting, mail merge headaches, and—the worst part—countless hours of stuffing inserts in holders.

Conference Badge is a service that is taking over the event name badge space by offering the easiest solution for name badge design and printing we've ever seen.

Conference Badge allows you to easily design name badges using just a list of your attendees. Badges are then printed at their facility in California, assembled, sorted, and shipped to you in as little as one business day. Plain or custom lanyards are also available to ship with your badges.

Their design tool is incredibly easy to use, and allows you to pull in variable data from any custom field, generate QR codes for contact collection or check-in, and import any designs or logos that you need.

Let's check out how the tool works:

Designing Badges

To start designing badges, all you have to do is upload a spreadsheet with a list of your attendees and any data you'd like to include on the badge. This could be as simple as name and company, or as complex as menu selection, workshop schedules, QR code links, custom photos, and more. The software will allow you to map as many custom data fields as you like.

Now, the magic starts. In the design tool, you just have to design one badge layout, and a unique badge for each attendee is automatically generated!

Multiple Badge Types

Conference Badge also supports designing multiple types of badges. For instance, if you have different colors to use for sponsors, you can create a separate filter and apply a unique design to any sub-selection of your attendees based on any filter you'd like.

So, in less than 10 minutes you can build badges for your attendees, speakers, sponsors, hosts, and more.

Durable, Eco-Friendly, or Premium

Conference Badge allows you to choose from multiple types of badges.

  • The classic 'insert and holder' badge comes pre-inserted in a premium vinyl sleeve that's durable for multi-day events.
  • Eco-friendly cardboard badges are made from 16pt cardstock with a gloss finish, rounded corners, and holes for lanyards. These badges are fully recyclable.
  • Premium PVC badges are a credit-card thickness product that is extremely durable and offers a premium feel for all of your attendees.

On-Site Printing

Conference Badge also has a built-in PDF tool, which allows you to design badges and download a PDF file of the ready-to-print badge for late registrants. They can also ship you blank badges that match the design and quality of the pre-filled badges, so you can add attendee data in real time for any latecomers.
