Remember, a name badge should be a perfect marketing tool for your personal branding. Everything should be clear like your name, your designation and your company.

up misplacing it. Why not make their name tags colourful and creative? After all, creativity attracts them the most.
Make the badges colourful. You can differentiate the tags by using different colours, based on each student’s group.
If you are making it for yourself, make it in a way that reflects your group. Use some shapes or colour shades to make your name tag creative.
Colourful name patches

Size of the Name Tag
The size of the name tag matters, if it’s too small or too big, the designer should be ready for trolling, while making a card, measuring the size is important. The card should be visible to all attendees, employers and colleagues.
