68×24mm Name Badge Guide: The Professional Staff Badge
The 68×24mm name badge is the business workhorse: the slim rectangle on every shop assistant, hotel receptionist and event volunteer. It's also one of the best products a badge maker can sell — businesses order in sets and reorder forever.
Template dimensions
- Finished (inner) size: 68 × 24mm.
- Full print (outer) size: 79 × 35mm with bleed.
- The 68×24mm template lays out a full sheet with cut guides.
The layout that always works
- Brand band — a coloured strip across the top (a simple rectangle shape in the company colour) with the company name in small caps.
- Name — the star: large, bold, centred (a condensed font like Oswald fits long names).
- Role — smaller, muted, under the name: "Store Manager", "Volunteer".
That three-row hierarchy is what the Ready Designs "Staff Name Badge" uses — open it, recolour the band, swap the names.
Producing a whole team in minutes
This is where name badges get profitable: Mail Merge (Business Plus/Pro) takes a CSV of names and roles and fills the sheet automatically — a 40-person staff list becomes print-ready sheets in one upload. For client-supplied lists, the Event/Client portal lets the business submit and approve designs themselves.
Who buys 68×24mm badges
- Retail & hospitality — shops, cafés, hotels; sets of 5–50 with reorders on every hire.
- Events & conferences — volunteers and staff, often hundreds at once.
- Schools — staff and prefect badges.
- Clinics & salons — professional front-of-house names.
Pricing tip: sell name badges as sets with a re-order discount. The design work happens once — every reorder is pure margin.
