First impressions are really important in most business situations and an event you’re your company is taking part in is no exception. Conference name badges are one of first things someone will notice when they arrive and will help them feel at ease with the event knowing that they can freely approach people making the introduction process a lot easier. There is a good range of conference names badges to choose from, ranging in budget, size, materials and colour options in order to achieve something that stands out in a conference situation, makes it clear who you are and what you do, and helps the event to start as smoothly as possible.

The material that conference name badges are made out of usually dictates the budget range that each falls into. For simple clear plastic conference card holders, these take a printed card or paper insert (that can be printed up to full colour process) and these work out at the low end of the price range. This is a more disposable or reusable type of product, often for companies that have the same event repeating often but for different visitors. Clear ID wallets are a very similar type of conference name badge. These can be attached onto a pocket clip or even better a printed lanyard. This is a popular way of producing conference name badges as the lanyard can be used after the event, giving your branding some additional exposure and the wallets are reusable.  At the higher price range, conference name badges can be produced in solid plastic or metal and can have name windows or if a full list of visitors are known, these can be printed directly onto metal or plastic badges. Conference name badges of this type may appear a luxury, but can give a very professional edge to the event.

The sizes of the conference name badges are another important factor to consider as this can be done to either be subtle and effective or standout and prominent. With the window badges, the size of the window can be small or large depending on how much emphasis you would like to place on this when designing your conference name badges.

Branding of the conference names badges no longer has restrictions. Quite often done via digitally printing, this allow smaller runs with good quality print representation. Printing onto metal, plastic can now be in full colour process, or simple spot colours to suit your branding.  There are no restrictions and again this can really show off the conference name badges you decide on.
