Build a Name Badge — Guides — Documents

Overview

Name badges are small, highly visual documents used at conferences, corporate events, and workshops. They need to be readable from a distance while containing essential attendee information.

Page Setup

Size: Custom — 324 × 216px (4.5 × 3 inches at 72 DPI)
Orientation: Landscape
Margins: 15px all sides

Multiple Badges Per Sheet

To print multiple badges on a single A4 sheet, design each badge at standard size and use batch generation to create individual PDFs, then combine them for cutting.

Layout

Top strip — Colored band with event name and logo (30px height)
Center area — Large attendee name and company
Bottom strip — Role/track indicator and QR code

Dynamic Fields

Field Key	Style	Example
`attendeeName`	24px bold, centered, dark	Alice Johnson
`company`	14px regular, centered, gray	Acme Corp
`role`	11px bold, uppercase, badge color	SPEAKER
`eventName`	10px, white, top strip	Tech Summit 2025
`qrCode`	Image, 60 × 60px, bottom-right	(QR image URL)

Color-Coded Roles

Use conditional styling to color-code badges by attendee role:

Role	Color
Speaker	Blue (#2563EB)
Attendee	Green (#16A34A)
Sponsor	Purple (#9333EA)
Organizer	Orange (#EA580C)
VIP	Gold (#CA8A04)

Design Tips

Make the name the largest element — readable from 3 feet away
Keep company name secondary but visible
Use bold colors for role indicators
Place the QR code where it's easy to scan (bottom corner)
Leave borders for cutting guides if printing on sheets
