How to Create Name Badges

Great for events, meetups, and conferences.

1. Prepare Data

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Company
  • Role (Speaker, Attendee, VIP)

2. Template

Standard Insert sizes: 3" x 4" or 2.25" x 3.5".

  • Check Avery 5390 or 5392.

3. Design Tips

  • Readability is King: The First Name should be legible from 6 feet away. Use a font size of 24pt-30pt.
  • Role Coding:
    • Use a shape (rectangle) at the bottom with a background color.
    • You can manually sort your Excel file by Role to print "VIPs" in one batch on red paper, and "Attendees" on white, or create separate designs.
  • Conversation Starters: Add a field like Industry or Interests to spark chat.
