Name badge template sizes and formats

Choose the badge size that fits your badge holders, your printer and how much information you need to show. Every size works in portrait orientation, and you can switch the layout at any time before printing.

4" x 3"

The standard name badge size. Fits most plastic badge holders and lanyards, and prints on Avery 5384 sheets (6 badges per page) or 4x3 thermal labels.

4" x 6"

A larger badge with room for a logo, sponsor marks, session tracks or an agenda. Popular for festivals and multi-day conferences.

4" x 6" double-sided

Print the front and back of a badge so names stay visible even when a lanyard flips around.

4" x 3" folded, double-sided

Print on a 4x6 card and fold it in half for a two-sided 4x3 badge that reads correctly from both sides.

How to make name badges from a template

1. Choose a name badge template

Pick a badge size and starting layout for your event. Create one template for everyone, or separate designs for attendees, speakers, sponsors and staff.

2. Customize the design

Add your logo or background image, set your brand colors, and arrange the attendee name, company, title and QR code exactly where you want them.

3. Connect your guest list

Badges fill in automatically from your EventCreate registration list. Assign templates to specific ticket types or attendee tags so every guest gets the right badge.

4. Print in advance or at check-in

Print a full batch on Avery 5384 sheets before the event, or connect a Zebra or Epson badge printer to print each badge on demand as guests check in.

What to put on a name badge

The best name badges are readable from a few feet away and show only what helps people connect. Use these tips when you customize your name badge template.

Make the name the hero

Print the first name in the largest font on the badge, with the full name underneath. Attendees should be able to read it from across a conversation without squinting.

Add context, not clutter

Company and job title help networking at conferences and trade shows. For social events and workshops, a first name and a table number are often all you need.

Use color to show roles

A colored band or label for speakers, sponsors, VIPs, staff and volunteers helps everyone find the right person quickly, and helps your team control access.

Include a QR code

A QR code makes check-in faster and lets exhibitors scan badges to capture leads, so attendees never have to hand over a business card.

Keep your branding consistent

Use the same logo, colors and fonts as your event website and emails so your badges feel like part of the same event.

Plan for walk-ins

Leave a few minutes in your check-in plan for late registrations. With on-site printing, walk-in guests get the same polished badge as everyone else.

Name badge template FAQs

A name badge template is a pre-designed badge layout with placeholders for details like the attendee's name, company, job title and ticket type. Instead of designing every badge by hand, you set up the template once and EventCreate fills it in for each guest on your registration list.

The most common name badge size is 4 inches wide by 3 inches tall, which fits standard badge holders and Avery 5384 sheets. EventCreate also supports 4x6 badges, double-sided 4x6 badges, and folded double-sided 4x3 badges.
