Name Badge Printing for Staff & Events

Badge types

Conference badges – printed card inserts for clear lanyard holders.
Staff name tags – for shops, restaurants, clinics and reception.
Event badges – volunteer, crew, VIP and speaker badges in different colours.
Visitor badges – reusable badges for office reception.

Personalising badges

Send one design and a spreadsheet with each person's name, company, role or delegate type. We print each badge from the list using variable data printing. Keep the first name large – that is what people read first. Use colour coding for access levels so security and staff can tell at a glance.

Design tips

A badge is read from about a metre away, so the name should be the largest element. Keep logos small, avoid fine print, and leave a little space at the top if the insert will be punched for a clip or lanyard. Print double-sided so badges that flip around still show the name.

Choose the lead time that suits your date: Economy (around 5 working days, 10% off), Standard (around 3 working days, listed price), Express (next working day, +20%) or Same-day (eligible items in by 09:00 Mon–Fri, +30%). The clock starts once payment and approved artwork are both in.

Same-day is priced high on purpose. If you can give us a few days, Economy or Standard saves you money.

Price and timing

Badge pricing depends on the type and quantity, with standard options online and personalised runs quoted. For a conference, send the final delegate list as late as practical but leave enough time for printing – late registrations can be printed as a small extra run. Browse event printing.

How to order name badge printing: set up the item in the shop and the price updates as you change the options. Attach your artwork at checkout – or ask for design help, which is charged separately. Payment is by Yoco card payment or EFT, in full for orders under R5,000 and with a 65% deposit from R5,000 up. When it is ready, pick it up at our Rivonia shop on a weekday between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, or have it couriered to you at a quoted cost.
