 If you've been tasked with designing High quality custom Name Badges ,welcome to the club! You're probably feeling a little overwhelmed. I know I was when my company first started using name badges. Thankfully, there are some easy things you can do to ensure that your name badges turn out looking good and being functional as well. 

This blog post will give you some helpful tips for designing name badges that will help make the process easier for both you and your co-workers.

• Do's of Designing Custom Name Badge

1. Take your time

Taking your time to design the custom name badges is important, because you can always make changes later. It's also good to know that there are many templates available that can help you with the design process.

If you choose a template that is too complicated or hard-to-use, then it may be difficult for you to customise and change later on down the line when necessary.

2. Keep it simple

Keep it simple. The most effective way to use name badges is by keeping them simple and clean, with bright colours and fonts that are easy to read from a distance.

3. Use a template that you can customise

Using a template is the best way to make sure that your badge looks exactly how you want it to. Templates are pre-made designs with specific elements, such as text and graphics, that can be edited. 

4. Use bright colours

When it comes to colours, the sky is the limit! You can use bright colours or muted tones. It all depends on what you want your badge design to accomplish.

If you're looking for a way to make sure that your guests can read their name badges at an event, we recommend using a contrasting colour scheme.

• Don'ts of Designing Custom Name Badge

1. Don't use clip art symbols or logos on your badges

Clip art is not professional, and it can be perceived as unprofessional if you're trying to convey a serious image with your name badges. 

If you want something more personal than text only on the backside of a badge holder then consider using illustrations instead of photos or graphics; just keep them simple so people don't confuse them for clipart!

2. Don't make it too large or small for the badge holder size you selected

Badges should be small enough to fit in the badge holder, but large enough to read easily from a distance. If your design is too small, it may not print at all on some printers and will look pixelated on others. 

3. Don't use heavy borders or backgrounds on the name badges 

Don't use a background colour for the badge holder. Again, this can detract from what you're trying to convey with your custom name tags by making them appear too busy or distracting from one another's designs.
