Custom Name Badges with Your Company Logo

Upload the logo file directly inside the design tool at namebadge.com/badges. Accepted formats are PNG, JPG, AI, EPS, SVG, and PDF. Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) reproduce sharpest because they scale without pixelation. PNG works well if the file is at least 600 pixels wide. For best brand color accuracy, provide the logo on a transparent background (PNG) or in vector format. If the logo file is too low resolution, our design team flags it during proofing and asks for a better source.

Vector formats first: SVG, AI, EPS, and PDF reproduce at any size without losing sharpness. PNG is the best raster format, especially with a transparent background. JPG works but the white background can cause haloing on dark badge colors. Avoid logos copied from a website thumbnail; those are typically 100 to 300 pixels wide and look pixelated when printed at badge scale. Brand-guide-quality files from the company marketing team always reproduce best.

Yes. Our Mimaki UV flatbed printers reproduce the full RGB color gamut with high accuracy on glossy white plastic stock. Provide the hex codes or Pantone numbers for your brand colors and we match them inside the tolerance of UV printing on plastic. For brushed metal badges, the logo is single-tone engraved by default; for full-color logos on metal we use a hybrid format (printed plastic backer plus engraved metal nameplate on top).

Proofs go out the same business day for orders placed before 2 PM Eastern. After 2 PM, the proof arrives the next business morning. The proof is an exact-scale digital mockup showing how the logo, name, title, and any additional text will print on the actual badge. We send unlimited free revisions before you approve, so you can adjust logo size, position, font, or color until it looks right. Production starts only after you approve.

We recommend a minimum logo footprint of 0.5 inch by 0.5 inch on a standard 3 inch by 1 inch badge to keep brand recognition strong. Most layouts put the logo in the top-left corner at roughly 0.6 inch by 0.6 inch, with the name and title taking the remaining space to the right. Very small logos under 0.4 inch tend to lose detail. If the logo has fine text or thin lines, our design team suggests increasing the badge size to 3.5 inches wide so the logo can scale up without crowding the name.

Yes. The standard workflow is to upload one logo and a CSV (or simple list) of names and titles. We print each badge with the same logo placement and the individual name on each one. Production runs the full batch as a single order with one proof, one shipment, and per-name pre-sorted packaging. This is how most corporate, healthcare, and hospitality orders work.

3 inches wide by 1 inch tall is the most-ordered size for corporate, healthcare, and hospitality. It fits a logo in the top-left, a name in 18 to 24 point font centered, and a title or department in smaller text below. For trade shows and conferences where the badge needs to be readable from across a room, 3 inches by 4 inches portrait is the standard. For executive use where a smaller premium look is preferred, 2 inches by 0.75 inches reads as understated.

No. The online design tool at namebadge.com/badges has pre-built templates that auto-position the logo, name, title, and any other text. Upload the logo, type the names, pick a font, and the layout snaps into place. For more involved designs (multiple text colors, custom shapes, mixed material backgrounds), our in-house design team can build the layout for you at no extra charge based on the logo and a description of what you want.

Transparent backgrounds work perfectly on white badge stock; the badge color shows through where the logo is transparent. If your brand requires a colored background (a dark navy box behind a white logo for example), we print the background color as part of the badge artwork. Glossy white plastic and brushed aluminum are the two most common stock options; for an all-colored background look, we recommend full-bleed UV printing on white plastic rather than trying to color-fill metal.

There is no minimum order. Order one badge for a new hire, ten for a department, or several thousand for a national rollout. Same per-badge pricing structure whether you order 1 or 10,000, with bulk pricing tiers kicking in at 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000+ units. No setup fees on any order size, no charge for the logo proof or revisions. New-hire reorders pull the saved logo from your account so the badge matches the original batch exactly.
