  • All badges are printed double-sided and sorted alphabetically (A-Z), speeding up operations and guest check-in.

  • For walk-ins and last-minute additions, we print badges with your design but without attendee data. Your team can fill them in on-site with a marker or a label printer.

Why choose laminated event badges?

The most versatile choice for events where presentation matters. Sharp, considered, and light enough to wear all day.

Conferences

Multi-day conferences & trade shows

Laminated Badges hold up across multiple days of continuous wear. No peeling, no creasing, no fading. They look the same on day three as they did on day one, which matters when your attendees are walking the floor and representing your event.

Festivals

Festivals & outdoor events

The laminate protects the printed surface from moisture and handling. Whether it's an outdoor summer festival or a high-traffic trade show floor, the badge stays intact without needing a sleeve or hard holder.

Corporate events & VIP gatherings

The matte finish gives Laminated Badges a quietly premium feel that works well for corporate conferences, award ceremonies, and executive events. No glare, no plastic shine. Just a clean, branded credential.

Design templates for Laminated Badges

Set up your artwork using one of our templates so your design is print-ready.

  • Bleed area +3 mm

    Extend your background to the bleed edge to avoid white borders after trimming.

  • Cut lines 74 × 105 mm

    This is where we trim. Keep decorative elements inside this boundary.

  • Safety area 5 mm inside

    Keep all text, logos, and key content inside the safe zone.

cut

safe area
5 mm

Hover a guide on the left. Each zone exists because every cut can drift about 1 mm.

To ensure graphic elements go from edge to edge, they need to extend 3 mm past the final badge size. The highlighted ring is that extra 3 mm.

This is the final badge size, where we trim. Every cut can drift about 1 mm, so designs need bleed outside this line and a safety margin inside it.

Keep names, logos, and text at least 5 mm inside the cut line. Anything closer to the edge can get clipped when the cut drifts.

When should I place my order and how long does production take?

Order with enough lead time before your event. Tell us your event date and we confirm the timeline before you commit.

How does the ordering process work?

Get a PDF quote, send your artwork using our templates along with any attendee data, and we print, laminate, and ship within 3 days.

Are laminated event badges waterproof?

They are water-resistant. Both sides are sealed with a matte laminate, so the badges hold up to moisture and handling across multi-day events.

Can Laminated Badges include a QR code or barcode?

Yes. We can print a unique QR code or barcode on each badge, along with names, titles, and company names.

What's the minimum order quantity?

50 badges. There is no maximum.

What are the available sizes?

Two standard sizes: Small (A7, 74 × 105 mm) and Large (A6, 105 × 148 mm). Custom sizes are not available.

  • Europe: €21, or €24 with lanyards.
  • UK and Switzerland: €29, with or without lanyards.
  • US: €29, or €34 with lanyards.

Shipping elsewhere is possible, get in touch with your destination and we confirm the cost.
