# Custom Badge

We offer the option to create a **custom-designed badge** tailored to your event’s branding. This allows you to fully personalise the look and feel of your badge — from colours and fonts to layouts and tag-based variations.

To ensure the badge is correctly processed and printed, we require a few key deliverables and clear communication from your side. Please read the following instructions carefully. 

Please read the following information carefully: 

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Deadlines & Requirements**

* The **final badge design** and all required files must be submitted **at least 5 working days before the event**.
* If this deadline is not met, a **rush fee of €100 per day late** will apply.
* Once the badge is developed and implemented, **no further design changes** can be made.

### ✅ Step-by-Step: Submitting Your Badge Design

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### Follow the steps below to create your Custom Badge Design and submit on time via email to <support@letsgetdigital.com>. When submitting, please provide all the information listed in these steps.

{% endhint %}

#### 1. Badge Type & Dimensions

Your badge design must match the correct dimensions based on the badge type you are using.\
Your consultant will share the badge type with you. If unsure, please contact us at <support@letsgetdigital.com>. In the table below you can find more information about the badges.&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th width="98">Type</th><th width="191">Design size (width x height)</th><th>Printed badge size (width x height)</th><th>Information</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>T180</td><td>96.0 x 267.8 mm</td><td>96.5 x 134.0 mm</td><td>A paper badge designed to fold in half and worn with a keycord, with small white edges around the sides.</td></tr><tr><td>T180S</td><td>96.0 x 163.8 mm</td><td>96.5 x 82.0 mm</td><td>A paper badge designed to fold in half and worn with a keycord, with small white edges around the sides.</td></tr><tr><td>260T</td><td>101.0 x 277.0 mm</td><td>96.5 x 134.0 mm</td><td>A plastic badge designed to fold in half and stick together, worn with a keycord.</td></tr><tr><td>260TS</td><td>101.0 x 172.0 mm</td><td>96.5 x 82.0 mm</td><td>A plastic badge designed to fold in half and stick together, worn with a keycord.</td></tr><tr><td>Sticker 102x51</td><td>102.0 x 51.0 mm</td><td>102.0 x 51.0 mm</td><td>Peel-and-stick design for quick application.</td></tr><tr><td>Sticker 76x51</td><td>76.0 x 51.0 mm</td><td>76.0 x 51.0 mm</td><td>Peel-and-stick design for quick application.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### 2. Create the Custom Badge Design

* Save your design in **PNG** or **JPEG** format.
* Avoid crop marks, trim lines, or any other layout markings.
* Important design notes:
  * The badge will be **folded in the centre**, so include the mirrored layout.
  * **Full ink coverage** can cause visible streaking during printing and slows down drying time, increasing the risk of leaving ink spots.&#x20;
  * **Thin lines** (under 2 pixels) may not be picked up. Please use thicker lines where needed.
  * Keep all **important elements away from the edges** to avoid cutting issues.

***

#### 3. Provide Two Versions of the Design

* **Version 1: With Variables**\
  Include placeholders for:
  * First name
  * Last name
  * Company name
  * Company role
  * QR code (if applicable)
  * Tags
* **Version 2: Without Variables**\
  This is your fixed background design — no text fields, names, or QR codes.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When submitting your Custom Badge Design, please provide both versions of your badge (with variables and without variables) in PNG or JPEG format.
{% endhint %}

***

#### 4. Include Custom Fonts (If Applicable)

If your design uses custom fonts:

* Include the **.TTF (TrueType Font)** files.
* Also include bold/italic TTF files if used in the design.

***

#### 5. Specify Variables Like Backgrounds (e.g. Based on Tags)

If you'd like different badge backgrounds based on attendee tags (e.g. colours per role), clearly define these combinations up front.

**Example:**

> File: “Red background” ⇒ Tag: “Red tag”\
> File: “Green background” ⇒ Tag: “Green tag”

⚠️ Once implemented, these cannot be changed last-minute.\
Our system does not adjust dynamically — make sure all tag-to-design logic is final before submitting.

💡 *Tip:* Double-check your tag setup internally. Once submitted, it's considered final and will be locked in for badge printing.

***

### 📩 Approval Process

**48 hours before the event latest**, you’ll receive an email with your badge previews and a button to approve or request changes.

Please review and respond **as soon as possible**. If anything is incorrect, get in touch with the Let's Get Digital team immediately.

{% hint style="warning" %}
As shown in the image below:&#x20;

1\) The badge will be folded in the centre therefore your badge design will need to include the mirrored image.&#x20;

2\) Designs with full ink coverage can cause streaks when printed.&#x20;

3\) Thin lines may not be picked up when printing please ensure the lines are at least 2 pixels.

Please be aware not to place important elements at the margins of the badge
