If you are thinking about getting new name badges for your company, remember that you shouldn’t just randomly go with any design.

You have to consider various factors that could affect your badges’ design, from the size to the fastener to be used to the material and the printing process. There are also other add-ons that you need to take a look at and choose from, too. Even after you’ve finally figured out what kind of badge you want, there are follow-up questions, particularly about the layout, that can help you refine your order. These are just some of the things that people who are designing and ordering badges for the first time have to know. Expect to be asked questions such as how big you want your badges to be, the font or typeface that will be used, the colours that should be used for the artwork and the text, and how the logo and names should be positioned on the badge.
Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when planning and designing your name badges.
1. You will need to prepare your artwork in a high-quality vector file. If your artwork comes in a high resolution, the badge maker will be able to produce and lay it out properly on the badge itself. A high resolution also ensures that the final artwork will look very crisp and clear on the badge.
2. Choose your colours wisely. You have to make sure that the colours go well together and won’t clash. For example, if your badge will have a dark background, the text should come in a light color to make it easier to read.
3. If your logo is already very intricate or detailed, it would look best on a plain background in order to keep the badge from looking too cluttered. If your background is very busy, the font you should use has to come in a contrasting colour and be plain as well so that the badge will be much easier to read.
4. More on your logo: If it is detailed, make sure that you think about the badge’s height and width. Planning this carefully will help you choose the right size for your logo, which will help to make sure that the final print of your badge will not be distorted, blurred, or pixelated, with every line of the logo coming out looking smooth.
5. Are you using a round or oval-shaped logo? A round badge may be much better for you to use rather than a rectangular one so that the designs will be able to fit in better. This would also provide enough space for any names and job titles to be positioned under the design.
These simple guidelines can help you determine what you need in order to create a great-looking badge. Now all you need to do is put your designs together !
