Question
What's the best badge material for a multi-day conference?
Answer
For a multi-day conference, choose a material that survives repeated handling. Thicker stock and laminated or plastic badges hold their shape where thin cardstock would bend and fray.
| Material | Best for |
|---|---|
| Standard 14pt cardstock | Single-day events |
| Thick 32pt cardstock | 2 to 3 day conferences |
| Laminated or plastic badges | Multi-day events and reusable badges |
- Lamination adds water and tear resistance for badges that get handled constantly.
- Plastic badges are the most durable option and can be collected and reused for recurring events.
