Three Badge Styles for Every Role
Conferences typically color-code badges by role so registration desks, exhibitors, and sponsors can identify attendees at a glance. All three styles can ship in a single production run.
Attendee badges
Glossy plastic, full-color print. The most common choice for general attendees. Holds a name, company, title, and optional QR code.
Exhibitor badges
Same plastic substrate with an EXHIBITOR ribbon below. Booth number printed prominently. Often paired with a different lanyard color to flag exhibitor traffic at registration.
Speaker, board, and VIP badges
Upgrade to brushed aluminum or premium plastic with a SPEAKER, KEYNOTE, BOARD, or VIP ribbon. The right look for marquee guests and executive summits.
QR Codes (Optional Add-On)
QR codes are not standard, they are an optional add-on you choose at design time. When included, we print them at the correct size and contrast so they scan reliably with any phone camera.
Common uses when conference organizers do add them:
- Attendee profile and contact exchange
- Session check-in and capacity tracking
- Lead retrieval for exhibitors
- Multi-day re-printing reduced because the badge holds the link
Ribbons for Roles
Ribbons attach below the badge with peel-and-stick adhesive or a slot connector. Most conferences pre-attach ribbons before shipping. For events that hand out role ribbons at registration, we ship a separate bag of unattached ribbons by role.
Common ribbon types: SPEAKER, KEYNOTE, EXHIBITOR, SPONSOR, BOARD, VIP, MEDIA, FIRST TIME, ALUMNI, VOLUNTEER. Custom ribbon text is available.

"Ordered 850 badges for our annual summit. Proof was approved Tuesday afternoon, badges shipped Thursday morning. Every name spelled correctly, ribbons attached for our speakers and exhibitors. Will use them every year."
"The brushed aluminum badges for our board members looked premium next to the plastic attendee badges. Engraving was crisp. Customer service answered our last-minute add-on request the same day."
"No setup fees and no minimum was the deal-maker. We ordered 12 speaker badges plus 200 attendee badges in one PO and got volume pricing on the attendees automatically."
