Some people need to wear badges by the nature of their activities. They are also required during some events. Various information is indicated here. What should be the size of the badge? Are there any requirements and regulations?
Badge size. What can it be?
So, let's try to figure it out. In fact, there is a standard size for a classic badge - 8.5 × 5.5 cm. They are most often found at various conferences, exhibitions, seminars and other public events. The format can be either horizontal or vertical.
However, there are other options. The badge size in cm may be, for example, 8.2 × 10.8 or 11 × 7.8. For accreditation and passes, 12 × 10 cm options are also allowed. For security guards and employees, badges of 9.8 × 7.6 cm are used. In a word, the sizes may differ depending on the purpose or simply the personal preferences of the organizers or superiors.
At events ...
So, length and height can be different. But do not forget that this seemingly trifle should be taken into account. The size of the badge at a major event is of great importance. Indeed, if it is attached to a clip, which is also not very large, it is rather problematic to consider the inscription on it.
It is advisable to use large badges on ribbons, which can be divided by color. All the necessary information is easily placed on them.
Another point. At various events there are organizers, speakers, participants, sponsors, the press. Badges for them can also be divided by size. For example, for the organizers - the largest. So it will be much easier to look for them. The need to read the names and surnames of each passing person simply disappears.
Badge Information
However, this is not all. The size of the badge depends, of course, on the information located on it. More precisely, from its volume. As a rule, the name and surname of the person, as well as the position and name of the company, are indicated on the badge. In principle, for the sake of this information it is manufactured. Name and surname are usually printed in bold large print, the name of the company - in smaller.
At various conferences and other events, large badges are used. They should indicate the name, date, logo.
However, to date, bilateral badges have become quite common. In this case, the size may be slightly smaller. For example, the topic of the speech or any other relevant information may be indicated on the reverse side. The main thing is not to forget about printing the name and surname on both sides. Although it’s better to dwell on simple large badges. It is much more convenient to see all the information right before your eyes.
Badge photo
And the last important moment. What else can affect the horizontal or vertical badge? The size also depends on the availability of the photograph. The standard option involves the use of a 3 × 4 cm card. The photograph should be clearly visible. Distortion of the characteristic features of the face is simply unacceptable. Of course, full-length or waist-length photographs are not used, but the size of the badge should still allow you to conveniently place the image. The main thing in its manufacture is to monitor clarity. The free upper field above the head should be 0.5 cm.
So, the size of the badge depends on several factors. This may be the amount of information indicated, and the purpose, and the presence of a photograph, and all of the above together. However, whatever the size effect, the badge must be clear and noticeable. Therefore, in its manufacture, you need to carefully think through every detail and calculate the amount of space that you need. In a word, any trifle must be taken into account.
