🔖 Select a Style

The first step in creating your custom event accessories is to choose the right product types that suit your event's needs.

• Custom Badges: Essential for attendee identification, these badges can be tailored in various shapes and sizes, crafted to support your event’s theme or branding.
• Event Lanyards: These are not only functional and comfortable, but also serve as a visible brand enhancer that attendees wear throughout the event.
• Badge Holders: Durable, ultra-transparent and recyclable crafted to protect and ensure your branded artwork is clearly on display.

Selecting the right type depends on your event’s scale, audience, and budget. For large conferences or conventions, sturdy badges and comfortable, durable lanyards are advisable, while for smaller meetings or single-day events, simpler options may suffice.

✨ Customize Your Design

Once you've chosen the types of badges and lanyards, the next step is to customize their designs to reflect your event's branding and aesthetic.

• Custom Badges: Opt for vibrant full-color, full-bleed CMYK printing to ensure your badges are eye-catching and professionally represent your brand or event theme. Full-bleed printing allows for color to extend all the way to the edges of the badge, giving a high-quality finish. Level up your artwork with Metallic Colors, Invisible Ink, or Mosaic Background. Remove the hassle of on-site badge printing and choose Pre-Printed Names.
• Event Lanyards: Choose between full-color dye sublimation and single-color print based on your budget and design preference. Dye sublimation is perfect for complex designs and a vibrant look as it offers a smooth finish with color that pops. Single-color printing might be more suitable for simpler, cost-effective designs.

✅ Finalize Your Order

After designing your products and checking out, you’ll receive a digital proof to review and approve. This proof is a crucial step to ensure that every detail of the design meets your expectations and that there are no errors before production begins.

• Your Design Proof: Take the time to examine every aspect of the design proof carefully. Check for typos, ensure logos are placed correctly, and that colors match your specifications. We will be checking on our end as well!

🎉 Once approved, production begins. Working with a vendor that offers fast turnaround times is essential, especially if you are on a tight schedule. Efficient production processes help ensure that you will receive your products in time for the event, without compromising on quality. 

💃 Show Off Your Style

Finally, it’s time to show off your custom event badges and lanyards. When your attendees wear these, they are not just carrying their event credentials and access pass, but also displaying a piece of your event’s identity.

• Style Display: Encourage attendees to wear their badges and lanyards proudly. They can also serve as conversation starters among attendees, facilitating networking and interactions.
• Photography: Make sure to capture photographs of attendees wearing their badges and lanyards, as these images can be powerful promotional tools for future events.

Custom badges, event lanyards, and conference badge holders are more than just functional items; they are integral parts of your event’s branding strategy. By following these steps—selecting the right products, customizing your design, approving accurate proofs, and showing off your style—you can create effective and memorable branding tools. Well-designed badges and lanyards not only enhance the professional look of your event but also contribute to a cohesive attendee experience.
