When it comes to your events, you need professional, high-quality event badges to ensure your event staff look professional and put together. Alongside boosting the image of your event, having visible name badges is important for event security for your visitors and staff. Here at Plastic-ID, we’ve got all the essentials you need to ensure you have the best-looking event badges.

Large scale ID card printers

If you need your event badges on a regular basis, a large-scale ID card printer is the perfect option for printing your eye-catching, high-quality event badges. Large-scale ID cards are perfect for events as they are easily visible and readable and allow you to include all the information required. 

We offer a variety of large-scale/XL ID card printers. A printer we recommend for a budget-friendly option is the Magicard Rio Pro 360 Xtended ID card printer:

Features:
•    High-speed print – 200 cards per hour
•    Visual security Holokote®
•    Optimised colour profiles
•    100 card input hopper
•    Edge-to-edge printing
•    Rewritable
•    Ethernet
•    MAGiCOVER PLUS – Free 3-year limited warranty and support.

If you have more complex requirements, a recommendation of ours for a high-end large format card printer is the Zebra ZC10L Large Format Card Printer:

Features:
•    Dye sublimation, direct-to-card print process
•    Prints the full face of the card
•    200 card input tray
•    70 card output
•    Up to 195 cards per hour (full-colour)
•    Up to 410 cards per hour (monochrome)
•    Easy-to-use operator control panel LED
•    300 DPI printing

Both of these options will provide you with the opportunity to produce high-quality large-format ID cards for your events. They also give options to add extra security features to your ID badges, which is a great way to increase your event security. If you only need your ID cards on a one-off basis, we also have the option to hire an XL ID card printer, perfect for flexible event badge printing.

Outsourcing to a printing service

If buying or hiring an ID card printer is not a suitable option for you, we also offer an in-house printing service. You can use our online card builder for an easy and efficient card printing order, but if you require a little more assistance with your design, our expert bureau team are always happy to help. All you need to do is get in touch!

Event badge design

Your event badge can be designed using easy-to-use card design software.

It should include:
•    Company name 
•    Company logo
•    Brand font and colours
•    Event name
•    Name 
•    Role
•    ID photo

Having a professional and eye-catching design creates a sense of professionalism for your staff as well as visitors. It is the best way to make a good first impression for your company when guests arrive at your event.

Lanyards

Once you have finalised your brand-new printed event badges, you need a way to display them. We recommend investing in lanyards to display your event badges in style – with your own professional touch. We have a wide range of options when it comes to your event badge lanyards.

Plain lanyards

For a more affordable option, we have a wide range of plain lanyards available. With a variety of colours to choose from, you can easily match your company brand colours and keep your event badges looking professional on a budget.

Pre-printed lanyards

For an easy way to distinguish your event staff, visitors, or security, pre-printed lanyards are essential. We have a wide range of pre-printed lanyard designs, such as ‘visitor’ lanyards, green ‘first-aid’ lanyards, and more. This is essential for easy navigation around your event and ensures those attending know exactly who everybody is if they need to locate them. 

It can also help to increase the safety at your event. For example, first aid lanyards ensure that in an emergency, it will be quicker to see who can help.

Custom lanyards

If you want to bring your professionalism that one step further, custom lanyards are ideal. Not only can you show your branding through your event badges, but you can also print anything you require on your lanyards –  for example, your company logo, event name or event logo. These are the perfect way to demonstrate your company’s professionalism, as well as demonstrating to your visitors that you provide the highest quality products for your staff and visitors.

Hi-Viz lanyards

If your event is taking place outside in the dark or you would like to increase the visibility of certain staff, hi-viz lanyards are an excellent option. They can help with increasing your event security, as well as general safety. These are also available as custom hi-viz lanyards if you wish to still use your branding!

Having a professional and high-quality look for your event badges and lanyards is the first step to giving a great first impression to anyone who may attend your events. For more information, please contact us and a member of our team would be delighted to assist you.
